As far as I understand, intuition is a more subtle feeling you experience where you may feel this sense of internal alertness about something you've come across - but moreso a calming, full-body, resonating feeling.  You may feel a 'tingling' sensation throughout your body, goosebumps, like the hair is raising on your skin - but not in the sense that is associated with fear.  It has been suggested that the heart is the source of intuition. 
 
That being said, it's also important to recognize the effect of cognitive dissonance - which is an uncomfortable feeling that is created when there is a conflict between what you are perceiving and what you previously held or understood to be 'true'.  This is usually sourced & felt in your head region (brain, physical mind).  So you may stumble upon something that your intuition draws you to but you may also initially experience cognitive dissonance if what you've come across conflicts with previously held beliefs.  You have to try and discern the feedback you are getting from your body to determine if there is something more to what you are perceiving.

I tend to suggest that a person should not feel inclined to immediately accept nor reject new information when it is come upon.  But merely to consider it with an open-mind and then decide at a later time how one feels about it.  This makes you less likely to have emotional reactions that are fueled by the effect of cognitive disonnance or preexisting beliefs and allows you to revisit the information in your mind when you are more calm & composed and can make a determination about how you feel about it.

Original Message What does that mean? Is it like the truth will set you free? If you doubt the truth or accept lies you wont have peace but if you accept it you are free? ?
