The theme of this article is that great discoveries are always accomplished through the cooperation of (1) superconscious genius or intuition, (2) rational logico-mathematical thought, and (3) sensory perception and observation. Mediocre creative results, however, can achieved without intuition. Acording to Dr. Sorokin, the spectacular creations of great religious leaders, of the giants of philosophy, and of eminent artists and scientists have been started not by rational thought or sensory observation, but by the grace of intuition, inspiration, and enlightenment., Dr. Sorokin's look into the role intuition plays in the creative process.
