What Is Intuition?

In this week’s Mystery School, Shakti Durga explores the difference between rational consciousness and intuitive consciousness, and why both are essential on the spiritual path. She examines the qualities of the rational mind—active, analytical, and outwardly engaged with reality—and contrasts it with intuitive awareness, a more receptive, yin way of knowing that is attuned to energy and spirit. Within the Mysteries, the rational is understood as masculine and the intuitive as feminine, each serving a sacred function. Shakti Durga also outlines eight key cultivators of intuition, offering guidance on how to strengthen this deeper, spirit-born way of perceiving and responding to life.
