The Operation and existence of the Cognitive Faculty of Intuition can be explained

scientifically. Ordinary, left hemisphere thinking is logical and sequential. Thus, the left

hemisphere uses the causal syllogism, “If A, then B, A, therefore B.” Information is

analyzed logically and stored hierarchically. On the other hand, ordinary right

hemisphere thinking is analogical. For example, one analogy which is used is, “1 is to 2,

as, 2 is to 4.” Another analogy is, “apple is to orange, as, banana is to grapefruit.”

Now, you can see that there is a certain logic to analogical reasoning and analogical

thought processes. You see, while ordinary logic uses the notion, A is B, or, A is not B,

analogical logic uses the notion that A is like B, or, A is not like B. This type of

analogical reasoning is used on a regular basis by lawyers, law professors, and judges,

who use analogical thinking when using the “case method” of instruction or legal

analysis. Thus, lawyers will say that since Case B is analogical Case A, then the legal

rule in Case A should be applied in Case B. Now, Intuition is an advanced form of

analogical thinking. Intuition involves high speed, preconscious or unconscious,

analogical thought processes. In other words, the preconscious or unconscious mind

plays with analogies all the time. Thus, you could say that the analogical mind plays and

dances all the time. Moreover, when the speed of analogical thought processes reach a

certain level, the right hemisphere, analogical mind, goes “Quantum,” and begins to

function using Quanta subatomic “particles” to think analogically, where such Quanta,
subatomic particles are really Energized Probability Fields. At this point the person’s

Quantum Mind begins to develop and the person’s Intuition goes non-local at a distance,

as confirmed by Bell’s non-locality theorem. Thus, the Intuitive mind begins to gather

information which is outside the human body, with quantum processes which operate

non-locally at a distance. The Quantum Intuitive Mind, therefore, is then quite capable of

gathering information forwards or backwards in time, and can also gather information

from a physical place located 1,000 miles away, or even, One trillion miles away, non-

locally at a distance. At this point it is even possible that the Quantum Intuitive Mind

could communicate with other minds. This is known as telepathy. The Quantum Mind

could also potentially communicate with parallel universes. Finally, there has been a

great deal of scientific research done to prove the existence and validity of Intuition. My

article, here, sets forth the scientific hypothesis as how and why it is that Intuition exists

and operates, while, the doctoral dissertation of Tony Bastick, “Intuition,” confirms my

hypothesis with hundreds of scientific studies proving the actual functioning of Intuition.

Thus, it is not logical to say that Intuition is “magic” or on the other hand, “non-existent.”

Intuition is a scientifically proven Cognitive Faculty which many human beings have. In

fact, there are numerous psychological tests which which test for Intuition as a Cognitive

Faculty in a given person, such as the Myers Briggs, temperament test, which is based

upon the Psychological Theory of Dr. Carl Jung as found in his book, “Psychological

Types.” Thus, we can conclude that intuition is an extraordinary, ordinary, Cognitive

Faculty which is scientifically based, and, is not magic.
