But as you notice, both Paul and Lucretius described the faculty of intuition, and Lucretius went further and argued that we did indeed possess it. Truly they did, Sokrates. Perhaps, though I found nothing in his statement to criticize at the moment. You have identified knowledge with only the narrower species, and not the whole genus. I confess that I am at a loss to explain how the mystical intuition differs from intuition proper.
Mystical intuition goes beyond human reason.
It reveals things to us that human reason unaided could never see. But I see that you will say that I am telling you about mystical intuition rather than defining it. So let me say that mystical intuition is intuition which operates under the inspiration of divine guidance. And God forbid that His guidance should ever be taken from us, as it has been taken from these Greeks. I'll welcome God's guidance or anyone else's, as soon as I'm convinced He knows where He's going any better than I do.
