Guest guest Posted March 29, 1999 Report Share Posted March 29, 1999 Namiste ! This is my first post to your satsang list, and I hope it is all right if I forward these two questions which I had originally posted to the Hinduism List earlier today. In the hope of generating some discussion, I would like to bring up two topics that are in the form of questions. I hope someone will respond to these points of sincere interest. The first is, What was the original (first) desire ? Second is, How do you tell the difference in Intuition and Imagination ? I look forward to reading your replies, Shraddha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can look back in time and say I knew it my "intuition" told me so. Imagination has an escape clause ie implying I may be right or wrong, a dream like quality a statement of what we percieve possible or not within Was it my imagination or not; did it really happen or did I dream it? > I reserve the right to be wrong, I have answered from my feelings about the questions rather than bookish knowledge > Sai Ram Chris > ------ > Ta Da!

I will only answer the second question if you don't mind. Intuition is a way of perceiving or feeling that which is whereas imagination uses creative energy and forges that which is imagined. Both negative imagination and positive visualization tend to bring about what is being imagined. I guess you could say that intuition is more static than imagination. The soul lives in imagination. We are created in God's Image. We are God's imagination if you will. My two cents worth. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that a guess has to do more with the attempt to verbalize. If I go back to what I was looking at when I wrote the above I say in that case it was intuition. But the guess was in trying to find the right word not in what I was seeing. I am still uncertain but it feels like intuition is more of a connecting while imagination is creative. Make sense?

Hello Marcia, It does to me Intuition sometimes come to be felt as connecting to what is felt as the source of imagination or creation. Make sense?

Marcia: I think I understand what you are saying. If I try to feel it, it (I suppose 'it' needs to be defined) seems to me to be more like 'the source of imagination or creation' finds me than I find 'the source of imagination or creation' by intuition or anything else. But that may be splitting hairs as you did not say anything about directionality. I may intuit even as I am intuited. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean in human life, the desire that "mommy" always be there, and the accompanying sense of fear (abandonment) when "mommy" is away. > Second is, How do you tell the difference in Intuition and Imagination ? Intuition is a surety (I.E. you feel sure what you're intuiting is real); imagination is uncertain (hmm... is this real or imaginary? If you ask that question after REALLY examining something in-depth, it's most likely imaginary). Also, imagination tends to be loud and raucous, while intuition is often a "still small voice" inside. For example, the feeling many people have, that inner RIGHTNESS of the feeling that human consciousness does not end after death, is intuition. I can't think of an equivalent "imaginary" feeling, but someone else probably already has answered this.
