While measuring my current perspective against the chaotic experience of my life - I am arriving upon realizations of powers and understanding of my greater purpose in this material existence; though similarly connecting to what is my own Karmic Baggage
Such chaos was torment against my true self; though in hindsight drew me back to this path. Similar to those negative externalities experienced by many of those who find themselves on the razor thin path, I find myself over exerting rationality to "fit in" to this existence.
My intuition has always led me to act upon what I believe is the only true cause and purpose; to enlighten brothers and sisters in darkness, and to fight against the manifestation of egos (my own, and otherwise).. Certainly, this intuition was exercised without any intervention of the rational mind in younger days; however now it is my rational mind taking over my ability to exercise my intuitive nature. I seek the knowledge for my rational mind, to make of sense of this existence, these great teachings. When studying lectures, everything makes perfect sense, and strikes a chord which I truely feel is already tuned, though rusty in me.
As I truely feel to have fallen; how do I approach the Great Work with my intuitive mind again? How do I silence the intellect's desire to understand facets of the teachings, which wants to believe are necessary in this life's journey? Is my intellect merely bringing forth the cause of my fall, while tethering my intuitive nature until a time whence earned to again exercise?

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
I'm not certain what link Lion of Judah posted, but this thread raises some other responses worthy of consideration.
We do not reject a strong intellectual spiritual culture, but intellectualism without guidance of the spirit.
However, the intellectual kabbalists, the black magicians, only possess empty shells, Klipoth, diabolical egos, the illusion or intellectual appreciation of externals.
Therefore, it's time to get a nut-cracking!

76. Comprehension and imagination must replace reasoning.
77. Imagination and comprehension are the foundation of the superior faculties of the mind.

It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] literal - they are the foundation of the Book - and others allegorical. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is allegorical, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge (gnosis, marifah) say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those who possess intellect. Al-Imran 7Possessors of intellect in Arabic is ulu'l-albab, literally signifying "possessors of kernels," or those who understand the inner dimension of things, like a nut within its shell.

Does any instructor (or student) remember, which is the video of the above link, that instructor Lion of Judah provided? Thank you.
Thank you.
There is certainly an immense connection with musical stimulus. (Though I would suggest that some Eras/Composers may actually interfere with that connection.)
