Intuition saving lives.
"Intuition a phenomenon of mind". Intuition is a difficult area to explain because although there are some psychological connections it is hard to explain all of its "bits and pieces". Intuition, or intuitive action is different for everyone because it combines with different areas of knowledge such as emotion for example in order to shape that individual's perception. The real life situation I have choosen for this task is one I saw recently on mail online. The story claims that a 35 week pregnant mother Beth Cleminson noticed her baby was not kicking and went to the doctor to get examined. Although the doctors claimed that nothing was wrong with her or her child she insisted on an ultrasound. Surprisingly there was a serious problem which resulted in the woman going into an emergency c-section. Had it not been for this mother's intuition her baby would have died and she could have been physically injured. Much like faith intuition is a controversial subject. In this scenario it was proved helpful but in others again it can be risky. Maternal instinct is a term that has been coined for many of these types of phenomenon. The idea has become so commonly used that leading psychologist believe there may be a mental connection which is created between the child and mother at a young age providing the mother with certain indications when it comes to her child. Again although intuition can not always be explained in a intellectual matter it is important in the study of Tok as it helps describe and understand the actual way we know certain things.
Intuition can potentially provide one with the "ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning: we shall allow our intuition to guide us, a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning: your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought". - B Yeats
