On the Phenomenology of Intuition. III.


At any rate:
The memory of our success is evidence of another Intuition having been adequate; it is evidence that the Present really does come out of the Future rather than the Past. Somehow I’d Intuited that this album would work out in this way. Coupled with the Intuitions of Kresten and of Ro. As well as what our bodies Did playing our instruments during our recording session. We came out with a Fantastic artistic work, that it’s naive to presume that any alternate arrangement could have really pulled off. For I think that in fact the reason that we appreciate good art is because intuitively we imagine what an alternate arrangement would have been like, and we Know it to be superior. But only someone who has not gone into this with as much depth as we have would condemn it to irrationalism, and that is all ways the case with superficiality. The moment of Intuition should be my main focus, though, even if that means that I am switching to a more extraverted mode of being, because what could be more Divine – and of course we have to make room for that ultimately, as a Conclusion of This – than contacting that stream of knowledge which we cannot warrant Rationally at the time that it is produced. We have to acknowledge that THAT is in fact where our hearts should lie, because there are dangerous things in the Unconscious, and even Sinister things, the Unconscious, in its Intricacy, is much more Informed than Consciousness, in  its relative superficiality. And we know this because, when we DO actually take back aspects of our Unconscious, they become aspects of our Consciousness, which had at one point or another been a matter of Common Sense, or we could not Describe them. That’s all ways the case with Intuition: You cannot DESCRIBE it RATIONALLY because there is no NECESSITY to do so except when imposed from outside. There is no internal, practical necessity to do so, so our minds are not capable of it. Unless, say, we’ve researched it a good deal, and then most critics would not bother to listen to us. And yet we know! And we have to trust it. That the very fact that such an experience that is an inkling which IS again, much like creative inspiration, an act of Novelty, a moment of Novelty, a moment of Revelation, that such a thing can occur and dazzle us, even though our consciousness is not able to account for it, this is Evidence that the deeper store of Unconscious information which we simply wouldn’t be able to handle in Waking Life is speaking to us. And of course if we condemn that and you ask: Why not simply handle it in Waking Life? Well, recognize that people who handle it are the ones condemned by the system to be seen as schizophrenics, neurotics, things of nature, because in fact their genius is that they’re able to formulate aspects of Reality which other people ARE definitionally Unconscious Of. It is the Intuition which is in fact the Survivalistic adaptation which allows us not to have to do that. Because of course in every instance of Yin, there is a little bit of Yang, and in every instance of Yang, there is a little bit of yin. Even in the fairly Fascistic dogmas which condemn these intellectuals to be mentally ill – these people who communicate verbally the textures of their innermost minds – even this is to some degree warranted simply because it is IMPRACTICAL for the Intuition to be rationally expressed; it is simply Unnecessary. This is exactly why the Intuition must be trusted, even When it cannot be rationally expressed, and the individual who COMPELS the Intuition to be justified, by something outside of its self, WHILST condemning the “neurotic”, or the psychotic or the schizophrenic, is putting the individual in a double-bind, and to some degree participating in the worst kind of hypocrisy. Especially since, like all people, this person owes a considerable debt to the Unconscious and the Intuition as well, that only needs to be made again a conscious value.
