Diaphanous intuition (ICA)

This is suddenly seeing through to the meaning of everything around, sometimes described as the "aha" experience. It may be compared to Archimedes sitting in the bath and hitting upon the theory of the displacement of volume in a liquid, or the cartoon character with a light bulb over his head.

A dimension of this experience is a sense of awe, that is fear and fascination. The discovery of being clairvoyant opens the individual to misunderstanding, ridicule and rejection by others. Insights are sometimes so fleeting that he wonders if they are only a dream, and doubts their validity. Nevertheless, he is pulled by life itself to trust his deepest intuitions and know the euphoria that occurs when it all comes clear.

The decision is to act alone, regardless of the consequences; all one has to believe is the power of one's own insights and intuitions. One is driven to continue pursuing every insight to its full significance, as though one will never again be content with anything less than the profound meaning of every thing and every moment.

This state is number 45 in the ICA Other World in the midst of this World.
