    How long does a philosopher remain confined to the Left-Hemisphere of the brain and thinking... when he or she awakens to a greater degree of Consciousness, which involves the faculty of "Intuition", which provides that person with bits of Knowledge unobtainable by the brain?

    bits of Knowledge unobtainable by the brain1 Brother James

    How do you explain that? If the brain cannot obtain information it will never have it. Do you consider information and knowledge as equivalents? Is it possible for knowledge or information to exist without the use of language?

    Unless you mean by "Intuition", the adding different pieces of information together to come to a conclusion about something. But that would not be knowledge, merely a supposition awaiting proof.

    What do you mean by that ?

    What do you mean by intuition ? Do you mean propositions obtained without thinking ? Because if so, then it isn't knowledge, just belief.
