We’ll go right to the source--intuition itself!--by seeing what Edgar Cayce had to say, when he was in his state of heightened intuitive awareness, about what makes intuition and psychic ability possible. We’ll look at some other sources, too.

Assignment #13

Now that you have reviewed a sizeable amount of literature on the nature of intuition, it is a good time for you to turn to your own intuition. Take some time to relax and allow yourself to develop your own intuition about intuition, about what makes it possible. Allow your intuition to bring to your awareness an image, or symbol, that reveals how intuition works. Let the image answer the question, "How can you learn about the world out there by turning within? How is it possible?"
