Spiritual consciousness, also called intuition (from Latinintuitio "immediate contemplation", to Latin intueri "to look at, contemplate, see into", from in "into" and tuere "to see"), the most immediate non-discursive form of cognition, is an all-encompassing holistic consciousness through which, finally, the spiritual events in the whole cosmos can be experienced. It is the transformed trance-consciousness, connected with clear self-awareness, which man had on Old Saturn and which the minerals have today. Man will have it fully developed only on the Vulcan. Through spiritual training, intuitive consciousness can already be developed to a certain extent now, when the sentient soul is transformed into the intuitive soul. A preliminary stage to this is clear fully conscious intuitive thinking. Intuition corresponds to the "unio mystica", the "becoming one with God", experienced with full clarity of thought and not merely emotionally, which the mystics strove for.
