intuition vs.logic

I decided on power point to present my new idea, and I am still giggling at how close I was when I allowed my mind to just have free range, and it returned with notions like the fruit of the tree that Adam and Eve partook of was poisoned or had testosterone. I almost would no even consider them seriously until in the midst of considering a change in cellular make up had to be made somehow combined with thoughts of how man needed to be transfigured to even be able to perceive God vs. how man feels his best is pleasing each other so, sort of like Hitler's Aryan ideal, oops! that would make change after about 20 like being Jewish, um, side track!

So, I was thinking about a movie line, "A woman's intuition is greater than logic." or "Ah! now, I see the Soul as being a feminine trait. Where men have strength, women have soul." Just maybe my wacky intuitive notions ought not be "pruned" but, rather indulged and trusted. But, how could I? They always seem contrary to reason. Just maybe, though...I will be able to achieve "Peace of mind" but figuring out how to make sense of crazy notions instead of just laughing them off as ridiculous.

Is wondering a mental exercise? Well, I wonder where intuition and providence originates, our brains are the logical origin of thoughts, but isn't intuition a feeling, not a sense like taste or something... great detectives or poker players learn to trust gut feelings, or hunches. I recently read a comment where someone else was verbally sharing a struggle with reason, and yet being unable to deny a certain sense of awe or feeling that there was more than can be understood by thought alone... I loved that. We surely read to know that web are not alone.... Oh yeah, not really related, but I need to find a line from a book of John Hobbes where he basically says the exact thing as is given to a student to say in Shadowlands the movie about C.S.Lewis
