199. The functioning of intuition can take place in every human being who is so far in development that there are certain moments when he is cleansed of inferior energies, meaning in this case moments when he is permeated with pure love energy and thereby finds himself in a pure and highly spiritual ecstatic joy which is the same as a state of inspiration. Then, in such moments, without any previous analysis or definition, there occurs in the individual's mind a sudden emergence or appearance of new spiritual experiences or thought pictures. Such sudden emergence of new and complete thought pictures through ecstatic joy we call "intuition". So intuition is synonymous with the symptom or result of a spiritual function released into the individual's subconscious through co-operation between feeling, intelligence and the embryonic body of intuition.
