Intuition is the innate ability in everyone to perceive truth directly - not by reason, logic, or analysis, but by a simple knowing from within.

Intuition is the inner ability to see behind the outer forms of things to their inner essence.

That was almost the right word. As if any creature needed more than five senses.
