Question

Hello and blessings, Rabbi,
As someone who has held intuition in such high regard,
I would like to know: where does such great confidence in it come from?
How do we know that this kind of inner feeling / intellect within me, called intuition, can lead me to objective truth?
And how am I supposed to know when I’m sensing intuition and when it’s just some very complicated emotion?
Isn’t that a somewhat vague foundation?
And one more thing: I remember you once wrote
that one shouldn’t go off into bizarre territory like “maybe everything is an illusion,” etc. Why not really go there?
If that’s the truth, then we should follow it even if it sounds bizarre. In discussions like these people are always mixing in consequentialist concepts—what will happen if you go down this path and what will happen if you go down that one—and I’ve seen that you strongly oppose that kind of discourse. So if that’s the case, why shouldn’t one think that everything is an illusion?

All the best
