“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

Mastery, Chapter 6, Mastery

During the earliest stages of our evolution, we humans relied almost entirely on our intuition.

Without being taught to think analytically, we simply observed our surroundings and made decisions based on our instincts.

As we progressed into more civilised creatures, learning how to reason and think logically, we abandoned our intuition, moving towards pure rationality.

Continuing this trend to present day, we have now created a society that honours rationality and has forgotten intuition.

We see this shift everywhere.
