Intuition vs. Sixth Sense

Are intuition and sixth sense the same thing?

They actually both give you some kind of information. As I intent to show below, intuition is an inteletual faculty, a part of conscious mind, while sixth sense is antenna-like capability allowing us to connect our own personal information matrix with universal information matrix where all informations are in pure form and available to all.

But let's go step by step. If things have different names it ussually means that they really are different. Ussually in such cases one can be sure that they share similarities, but they are not exactly the same. Mist and fog, shower and downpour, love and affection ... Check for definitons for yourself :) It applies also to intuition and sixth sense. They share similarities but they are essentially different.

So, what do they share?
Both of these give you some kind feeling to do this or do that or not do something. Very rarely such tips are in a form which is undeniably clear and concrete. Even more, ussually you have to find out the details for yourself. Both rely upon your trust to the feelings, hints etc., enough that you actually do something about them. Main similarity between these two terms is really having a feeling that you would be better off if you followed a particular course of action.

And where do they differ?
First, let's agree that your sixth sense is simply that, an extra sense which you have which warns you of things. It's a bit like the other five senses except that it doesn't have a specific organ. It simply is there and you get a feeling. So calling it a sixth sense really is quite accurate in a way. 5 other + another one. Intuition, on the other hand, seems to cover a lot more. Can you ask you're sixth sense which team will win World Cup? No. But you can ask your intuition and THEN your sixth sense picks up the partial answer and gives you the feeling that red-orange team is the one to bet on it.

But I think it goes even deeper than that!
If your sixth sense acts as a warning device to keep you out of trouble, then your intuition acts a way of putting things in front of you to help your life.

We all know and can easily remember occasions which resulted in a big change in our lives. For some people this are just coincidences. Others will say that such happenings were 'meant to be' or were 'destined to happen'.
I believe that those meetings are a direct result of your intuition working away behind the scenes and bringing about the event which will improve your life, alter it in a way you like (even if you realize that later on).

For sure we all know someone who wants to change something in their life. Maybe just a relationship, or a job maybe. As an observer, you can see a lot of opportunities coming at them, but they only see obstacles and barriers.
Each time you see an opportunity for them, it's their intuition giving them a chance to change. It brings them point of decision. For opportunity or else.

The sixth sense simply gives information about something and gives you a feeling. It actually acts like antenna to universal knowledge, a kind of "static" informational-flow device. On the other hand intuition is always at work and it tries to help you do what you want. All you have to do is recognize it when it presents you with something good for you. And that's where your sixth sense pops in!
