This document discusses different types of intuition. It defines "grey intuition" as thoughts that arise from one's experiences and knowledge but seem to come from an unknown origin. In contrast, "blue intuition" comes from an unknown source without a clear origin. Most intuition experienced is grey intuition from stored experiences. True blue intuition is rare. While blue intuition may be inspiring, grey intuition based on one's knowledge and experiences is more practical and likely to benefit one's life, family, and career. An ideal is to use both blue and grey intuition together whenever possible.

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not
go through the intellect.
— G.K. Chesterton
Life cannot be classified in terms of a simple neurological
ladder, with human beings at the top; it is more accurate
to talk of different forms of intelligence, each with its
strengths and weaknesses. This point was well demonstrated
in the minutes before the devastating Tsunami of 2005
which hit the Indian Ocean coastline and claimed 216,000
lives... When tourists grabbed their digital cameras and ran
after the ebbing surf, and all the 'dumb' animals made for
the hills.

POWER OF INTUITION

Trust your hunches. They are usually based on facts filed
away just below the conscious level.

Choices are the hinges of destiny.

Intuition is pure, untaught knowledge. It is a direct
perception of truth or any fact, independent of reasoning.
Logic can support intuition, but not all the way. After a
point, logic has no rights of entry. Intuition goes beyond
logic but it is not against logic. When you are operating
in the intuitive domain, you have to remember some things
have to be believed, to be seen or felt. They are real but
gossamer fine, which current paradigms of logic cannot
explain.
Once you have experienced the versatility of intuition,
your faith in it deepens. A kind of transmitter to the
universe is born. Your exchange begins.
Having said that it is critical to mention that most of
what one classifies as intuition is not intuition.
Which is why I classify intuition in to two types:
Grey intuition and Blue intuition.
Grey intuition means when a thought wells up from
our archives so imperceptibly that we can't see its origin
and we quickly conclude that the origin is unknown.
Actually the origin of such thoughts is our experience and
"notes from our invisible basement". Such intuition is
commonly seen in professions like nursing and fire fighting.
This is Grey intuition. Most intuition we experience is of

this type. And this technically speaking is not pure
intuition.
Pure intuition is Blue intuition. Where you pull out a
thought from the blue. This is very rare.
If you are blessed to intuit blue it is great. But
remember it is Grey intuition that will often save your life,
your family, your job.
Blue intuition is of the heart and Grey intuition is of
the Head (from Grey Matter). If your heart speaks
unmistakably, very well. If not listen to the head. Respect
the head. After all nature has placed it above the heart in
your body.
Though it is fashionable to say, (especially among
authors and motivational speakers) that one must listen to
his heart — I have countless examples where people have
done just that and paid a huge price. Communities which
have listened to the heart have been often enslaved. So give
the head its due too.
In fact I believe listening to one's heart is listening to
his value structure and nothing more than that. And
listening to one's head is listening to his knowledge
structure.
If Blue signals are the icing on the cake then Grey
signals are the cake. Blue and Grey together is ideal. Else
just intuit with Grey.
