Discernment & Knowing concerns how humans make sense of information, sensation, experience and uncertainty. Inner Technology does not ask us to choose between intellect and intuition. It asks us to become better at knowing which kind of information we are dealing with, how much confidence it deserves and what else needs to be considered.
Clarity is the capacity to distinguish what is relevant from what is merely loud.
Intuition is the capacity to register patterns before conscious reasoning has fully articulated them.
Perspective is the capacity to move beyond a single viewpoint without losing the ability to stand somewhere.
Truth is the capacity to remain oriented toward what is actually the case, even when reality is inconvenient to our preferred story.
Wisdom is the capacity to bring knowledge, experience, uncertainty, values, context and consequence into proportionate judgment.
The capacities do not operate in isolation. These relationship entries describe important feedback loops, tensions and forms of mutual support between them.
