i know that henri bergson has written over intuition, but i think spinoza 
did  not in the same way, if he did at all i mean.



i am not sure what is intuition for me, i think it can well be something 
about which the intellect is incapable to recollect impression, so that 
actually it might not even exist? but as this might appear to some as a 
sylogical phalasism (excuse the spelling i am a wreck), well, intuition can 
and need to recollect it's self in certain circumstances. the necessity to 
see when, belongs actually to the intellect (the part of you which live in 
the other attribute, which Spinoza has called Thinking, because he wanted to 
prove that meditation gave beatitudine. but this doesn't explain what 
actually intuition can actually say by itself, in the case it is, NOT, the 
intellect. When intuition is actually not intellectual. But if it's 
intellectual, we can be sure that it is intuition. This is what some one 
experienced in Philosophy might use as an argument to prove that actually 
intuition is corresponding to the essence of the Philosopher. CQFD.



Scholia.



Some might think that actually this is the result of aligning consequences 
with premises in such an order that we have proven what we had already 
thought, and that actuyally we have not advanced a lot in saying so. To 
these i say: slow down, temper, and patience value more than hurrying, when 
you start using your intellect. And I know, you might say: Intuition does 
not replace Intellect, in a degree: this degree by which Intuiition differes 
from Intellect, can be measured by either one of both. This actually 
mysterious way I have to explain Intuition is a tool for the effort in the 
intellect to become Intuition, and this effort is actually the degree to 
wich Intuition can be measured as differing from Intellect by a degree.
