Humans do not have only the conscience and the subconscious. Like Henri Bergson said, they also have a foggy area between those two, an area named intuition, which makes thinking and reasoning possible. Intuition is not always plausible to logical explanation, which is why we might not consider it trustworthy. Yet, in many cases, facts come to confirm the feelings and the thoughts brought about by intuition. In those moments we regret not having listened to that deep voice that had tried to guide us.
In order to be able to follow our intuition, we firstly need to loosen up a bit the constraints imposed by our reasoning. As I've said, intuition might not seem truthful, it nurtures an a priori feeling or thought about facts. However, following it might make us realize that we a priori new what was going to happen.
It can be truly sincere, as intuition is a balance between the chaotic and subjective subconscious, filled with desires and the conscience that tries as much as possible to stay objective. Intuition helps us to see the facts beyond the schemes imposed by our reasoning and also beyond our deep and burning desires. It might not always tell us what we want to hear or it might only show us a blurry picture of the exterior. Still, it can be the thing which makes the difference and inspires us to make the best choice.
P.S: The photo is actually my edited version of a picture which hangs over my bed. It's from Canada, it's native art by a local artist and I got it as a gift from my aunt. As I have an unexplainable passion for birds and trees this is the most appropriate thing that could hang over my bed. I have three other drawings besides the one from the beginning of the post and each of them has a title given by the artist. These are the birds that watch over my sleep and my dreams every night (from left to right): Proud Male, Learning, Good Morning, Swallows.
