How to listen to your intuition. A powerful aspect of prayer is just listening, stopping, and listening, and trying to invite in or allow in messages that if I didn't still myself, I wouldn't hear. And sometimes I'll go to sleep and then the next morning something will come to mind. What speaks to you in intuition is the voice of your aim. To have an informative intuition means that you pose a question, and that's a form of humility. There's something I need to know that I don't know, that I could know, that I'd like to know. It's like, so you set the stage. Well, once you set the stage, the probability that a creative idea will enter the theatre of your imagination is much enhanced. All of that is secularized prayer. It's not, it's not even magical. It's how your perception works. You set your aim, you have a question, so you're on your knees hoping for an answer. And the light bulb goes on.
