Apparently the U.S. military has discovered that intuition may be a valuable tool in combat.\u00a0 According to Live Science<\/a>,\u00a0 soldiers sometimes show a \u201cbattlefield sixth sense\u201d that has saved lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. So now the military, of course, hopes to better understand this sixth sense and to train troops to tap into it.<\/p>\n

The military has been doing its homework on this topic. The Office of Naval Research\u00a0 (ONR) points to sixth-sense research about how \u201chumans can detect and act on unique patters without consciously and intentionally analyzing them. The military also pointed to studies suggesting a sixth sense can arise from \u2018implicit learning\u2019 \u2013 absorbing information without being aware of the learning process \u2013 rather than building up expertise through years of practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ONR plans to measure how both intuition and implicit learning work, then they would create a model of this type of thinking. This model would reflect individual differences among soldiers, how they adapt to new situations, and would take into account the influence of battle fatigue.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s terrific that the military recognizes that intuition can save lives. But can intuition be broken down into components that comprise a \u201cworking model\u201d of intuitive thinking?\u00a0 Can intuition be taught? Or is it more a matter of awareness? Most of us have hunches from time to time, gut feelings,\u00a0 that sense of certainty that we should do or not do something. \u00a0And we either act on the hunches or ignore them.<\/p>\n

The dictionary defines intuition as: direct<\/em> perception of truth, fact, etc independent \u00a0of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension. <\/em>In the Western world, we are taught to distrust such perceptions. The emphasis is on left-brain thinking, reason, facts,\u00a0 proof. And yet, in a time when everything is in flux, when institutions we took for granted are crumbling, when we are surrounded by uncertainty and have almost instantaneous access to news and information, our intuition may be our strongest ally. It enables us to make immediate decisions based on nothing more than a feeling. <\/em><\/p>\n

We do seem to be in the midst of an emerging paradigm that is much more heart-centered and right brain than the existing worldview. And in this new paradigm, intuition and synchronicity are like conjoined twins.\u00a0 It\u2019s impossible to get to know one without the other.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s very likely that as the military creates its intuitive thinking model, they will come face to face with synchronicity. Perhaps\u00a0\u00a0 Bernard Beitman\u2019s Coincidence Studies<\/a> would be of great interest to them!<\/p>\n
