Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way to make heads or tails of it is going through intuition.
Intuition is knowingness, and this field of unbounded knowing, of knowingness, is within every human being. You start tapping into that and it becomes an ocean of solutions.
You don't dive for specific solutions; you dive to enliven that ocean of consciousness. Then your intuition grows and you have a way of solving those problems-knowing when it's not quite right and knowing a way to make it feel correct for you. That capacity grows and things go much more smoothly.
Intuition is the key to everything, in painting, filmmaking, business - everything.
I always say that intuition is the number one tool for an artist.
