“Intuition is a combination of historical (empirical) data, deep and heightened observation and an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality. Intuition is like a slow motion machine that captures data instantaneously and hits you like a ton of bricks. Intuition is a knowing, a sensing that is beyond the conscious understanding — a gut feeling. Intuition is not pseudo-science.” Abella Arthur
Am I quotable? Apparently, I am. :D
Part of the quote above shows in a W. W. Norton, Independent Publishers book about Intuition, as an epigraph (opener to the book), in Chapter One! I’m even ahead of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
‘Search inside book’ for my quote.
I was officially contacted by the author, followed by the publishers last year, to get my consent for use of the quote. My contact information and one of my website addresses is also provided in the book.
The book is called Clinical Intuition in Psychotherapy: The Neurobiology of Embodied Response and was written by Ph.D psychologist Terry Marks-Tarlow. It looks pretty good — high minded, yet useful! What’s also interesting is that Terry loves art and draws profusely, like I do. A kindred spirit, for sure — possibly even a Leo.
So yeah, I’m officially not self-published only! LOL
How’s that for the inspiring Sun in the 7th?
