Mothers and infants tend to be intuitive about persons. Historically, men have tended to focus on mastering tools, machines, and intricate abstract systems of thought. The infant intuits, that is, knows without being told, how to use a word. Mother intuits, i.e., knows, how to teach her infant to use words.

Men have tended to be less intuitive, perhaps because they haven�t been required to care for infants and young children.

Idea: Before it�s born, the infant learns how to move by moving its body in the womb. Mother and child learn to synchronize their physical movements. The infant hears sounds in its mother�s body and isn�t embarrassed by body sounds, such as burping and farting.

The growing child forgets how blessed it felt not ever being embarrassed, and not ever being afraid of being embarrassed or shamed by his peers or his superiors.

Older children are very peer-conscious and self-conscious. They are quick to criticize or attack someone who has unusual manners, or dresses in a different way, or says unusual things.

A very young child hasn�t yet learned to fear being attacked verbally or physically for being different without being embarrassed. The �liberated� adult has become again as a little child, and he isn�t afraid to be �self-realized�, that is, unusual in positive, constructive, creative, helpful ways. This thinking helps us understand the saying of Jesus Christ, about attaining happiness or �the kingdom of heaven�.

The person who isn�t yet �liberated� may be rebellious, confused, and destructive without knowing why. The answer for this person is more self-awareness, and more understanding of Christ.

Note. Conventional psychology has become a subject in which the psychic-intuitive talent isn�t studied. Historically, the most intuitive people were said to be �chosen by God� to present new ideas which others were expected to accept on faith. To our ancestors �God� became the explanation for inspired creativity.

Modern educational institutions still emphasize memory and learned rules of calculation or thinking. Intuition isn�t yet understood. Inspiration is the �stone the builders, i.e., the educators, refused to study and understand�.

The healthy young child is psychic-intuitive and senses without being told. Some children are more intuitive and some are more retentive. The retentive child learns by retaining images verbal, pictorial, audio, etc. The psychic-intuitive child develops less memory and more intuition. But schools still emphasize retentive memory. Intuitive children are taught that they are inferior. Some psychic-intuitive children learn to think of themselves as �stupid�.

Intuition works through the unconscious, and isn�t self-conscious or peer conscious. Intuition senses what�s right or true, even if it�s not popular. The intuitive person may have to leave his peer group to collect his thoughts. But ultimately, he must find some social acceptance or starve. Hence, over the centuries, human intuition has been selected against and bred out of society. Many psychic-intuitive persons have been pariahs or at least child-less.

Therefore many of today�s children aren�t very intuitive at least for long. Retentiveness gains control of the mind and an �educated� person fits into this society. No advance comes of this. The culture of non-intuitives stagnates or learns from other cultures, in which some novelty is tolerated.

When certain problems persist in a culture without being solved, the culture really needs to learn from other cultures, or else culture more intuitiveness in its less retentive children. The less academic young person is the one whose brain hasn�t made the shift to loss of intuition. The creative person may not have an encyclopedic memory. But memories not immediately recallable may exist in his unconscious. The unconscious has a large store of old memories not accessible directly to the conscious mind.

The witty quick thinker has quick access to ideas and facts, because his unconscious is more blocked off. Relatively little gets immersed deep in his unconscious. The less able student and conversationalist may have more stored information but not be able to access it rapidly. The masses trust in the witty quick thinker without understanding profound creativity and the deep mind. Many students excel and are rewarded, as others with greater creative talent are discouraged by the present system, and their potential isn�t realized.

To help improve society, it is important that we recognize errors in past thinking, and seek to identify and help all the young persons who are unusually gifted or gifted in unusual ways. This helps make the Messianic rule a common practice in modern schools, without bringing in the subject of �God� and religion.
