If mysticism is to  be avoided, how does one come to terms with the flashes
of intuition that characterise the understanding of new things? They seem
rather similar in nature to some of the 'revalations' of the mystics, and
also rather contrary to socially accpetable belief in the rational.
The slow, plodding thinker may actually use reason to aquire knowledge, but
many of the men considered to be most 'rational' seem instead to be posessed
of a keen intuition.
