Intuition / Sensing

DEFINITION

Definition

Intuition deals with latent information and what is not yet directly present. Sensing deals with information that is currently present and manifest. This is separate from divergent thinking or realism.

It's not about superiority or inferiority in creativity or ability to adapt to reality.

Think about production by looking at wood

From the piece of wood in front of me, I imagine a small bird ornament or a small box that has not yet taken shape, and draw it in my notebook.

Intuition

Look to qualities, meanings, and developments that are not yet revealed. It appears as a way of reading what is possible behind and beyond the information that is currently visible.

  • Talk about not only the current use of the tool, but also other uses and potential features.
  • Explain the hidden meanings and future possibilities of events.
I can't see it right now, but this is a possibility.

If we focus on explaining what is latent, we may miss the conditions that can be confirmed at the present moment or the actual state.

Sensing

Focus on the state and information that is present there. It appears as a way of dealing specifically with the actual state of things and the differences that can be confirmed on the spot.

  • We will discuss the actual shapes and conditions of tools when used.
  • The description of the event specifies what is there and what is happening.
This is what is actually happening now.

When explanations focus on information that is manifest, it can become difficult to deal with changes and possibilities that have not yet taken shape.
