Intuitive Mind Or Rational Mind, Which Is Supreme? by sholahokif: 3:48pm On Nov 21, 2017 |
I stumbled on some articles about intuition and rational mind. While some say intuition is the highest form of intelligence, others argued rational mind reigns supreme. According to Albert Einstein, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." The rational mind uses reason or logic in thinking out a problem while the ability to know or understand things without any proof or logical process is intuition. I'm bringing this to nairalanders to discuss. Which is supreme and why? Let's hear you out..... And Learn... 1 Like |

Hm. A thought provocating topic. Thanks for the invite. In my own opinion, I won't place any a step above the other. For greater part of my childhood, I was an intuitive person. My christian upbringing was fed and nurtured by it and I believed in a God I hadn't seen. As I matured, I became a rationalist. I thought things through before making decisions. The fact that I remained in mu faith was a product of my rational mind. It sounds strange as lay men cannot produce evidence of God's existence. I can but I won't spare details. It was a personal part that i had found so it would be utterly useless sharing them. Now, the problem I have with rational mind is this, the fact that you do not have a proof of something doesn't really mean it doesn't exist. Take our dreams for example, If I ask you to prove that dreams exist, how would you if not be intuitive or by personal experience. Secondly, in phusics, there is what refer to as dark matter, you can't see it but it exists. Does that remid you of certain God?. 2 Likes |

I have my petitions against the Intuitive mind though. Those that follow the feelings, some misleading hunches when choosing a partner. Females are at large guilty of this. They scream and yell, and emotionally torture themselves when an organ- the heart beats fast at the sight of strangers they call 'crush'. I wonder what gives them the notion that a feeling is equal to love. Smh... Love is not emotional. It is rational, yes you heard me right!!! In india, parents still arrange marriages for their children and those marriages ended up fine. It wasn't based on emotional yada-yada but on careful planning, mutual understand, sacrifice and hardwork. The intuitive mind is spontaneous while the rational mind isn't. We indeed need both. Let's say, your house catches fire and your baby is trapped inside, your rational mind would tell you to forget it and produce another baby. BUT Your intuitive mimd would jump right into the fire!! BOTH are needed, none is greater. Seun , WE need your opinion here. 1 Like |

Thanks for the invite, intuition brings ideas, rational mind does the dirty work. Many a scientist had ideas their rational minds couldn't fathom till later scientists worked on these ideas and made sense of them. For me I'd pick rational mind cos in everyday living, intuition won't take you far without having a rational mind to back it. My 2 cents. Downside to my choice is that innovation comes from intuition. But I don popular oh op, how you take get my monicker?.... I'm elated 1 Like |

really thoughtful. I think that am intuitive for most of my life and I still am I think that without intuition creativy and imagination will be severely lacking. but on the other hand a rational mind is needed in making logical and thoughtful decisions. so i think that none off them rein supreme over the other it is just a matter of finding the right balance between the two. 1 Like 1 Share |
