I avoid reading completely intuitively, except as a last resort. It has the highest failure rate in nature.
Esoteric-intuitions are beliefs, but not necessarily truths, so one has to be careful with them.
An good intuitive response would come using semantic memories garnered over time, the transferring of autobiographical memories ( learning) and using them intuitively (anoetic now) in a situation based on previous experience, the greater the experience within the situation, the better the intuition. You know what to do and do it, like a solider I suppose.
To me all intuitions are knowledge based, you can not intuit something without prior experience, indirect or direct, the less direct, the less likely a successful intuition. I know some say If you intuit something, you guess what it is on the basis of your intuition or feelings, rather than on the basis of knowledge.( this is even a definition) This to me is new age like and a poor definition.
For me it is as Ms. Feilds says: A phenomenon arising naturally from information and the decision-making processes. Individuals using an unpatterned method (the organization of data being input) combined with thought and action modes (the character of the intended output) arrive at decision options not necessarily following any of the standard, logical, and/or existing processes. When this happens an outside observer could tend to attribute the unexpected idea as arising from some sort of insight process based on an intuition capability." I would like to say this is not a "AH-HA!" moment because ah-ha's, after the fact, we understand where they came from, we can derive them,and know them to be true. Intuition, has no way of going back and consciously deriving the exact connection of idea's process. We just have a intuitional judgment, right or wrong time tells.
I think intuition is a important tool in reading, but knowledge is the best one( for me)
