Simple ways to distinguish superconscious inspiration from subconscious/unconscious intuition. (Daaji's terms [1])
Both inspirations and intuitions may come during closed-eyes meditation or whenever the mind shuts down - through tiredness, accepting its inability to grasp something, switching to a subtler level, and so on. Sometimes though, an excited or hyperactive mind may also have creative ideas. Both occur outside the usual conscious mental processing and may be considered abnormal mental states.
But superconscious inspirations are beyond current and past human knowledge while subconscious or unconscious intuitions are beyond just my own conscious knowledge. A subtle implication is that once I have an inspiration, it becomes part of me, and thus part of my conscious, subconscious, or unconscious awareness.
Subconscious intuitions are mine, as in whatever I have built up in my life.
Unconscious intuitions are also from others - family, friends, and so on, encompassing all humanity. And if you accept past lives, from them as well.
How to distinguish inspiration and intuition
- Inspiration:
Anything completely new and original, especially a solution or idea not found in standard references, or even a different emotion/mental condition - superconscious inspiration - Intuition:
- Any solution or idea or emotion, perhaps new at the moment, but remembered later. Read, watched, otherwise experienced, but forgotten - subconscious intuition.
- When later found in standard references or described and found elsewhere on researching - unconscious intuition.
Since verification by research is needed, one may not be sure whether it is inspiration or intuition at once.
Why does it matter?
A superconscious inspiration makes our consciousness subtler and inspires us positively, even transcendentally. Most, if not all, people would accept it is for the good of everybody.
A subconscious or unconscious intuition may be positive, negative, or neutral. Since it is based on past events, it need not be helpful. When used to remember technical solutions and positivity or past inspiration, dipping into the sub-/un-conscious is useful. For reinforcing past negativity and behaviour, it is not.
