A viewer asks: “Observing humanity, a large spectrum is on display. From people who seem to operate mostly from conditioned responses, to those who truly seem to actively analyze everything around them consciously, enabling them to respond in novel unconventional ways that can be unpredictable and surprisingly effective (at least from the perspective of others). Emerson said, “foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Those who operate largely out of conditioning will struggle to find novel solutions to unanticipated and vexing problems, and rather, will keep applying the same conditioned response over and over again in spite of its continued failure or poor performance. With this postulate, how does Creator explain the difference in these two approaches to problem solving?”

This is a worthwhile discourse, but it has the players somewhat mis-assigned. In this instance, what is seen as value is the creative thinking—in fact, thinking outside the box, so to speak—as opposed to what you termed the "conditioned response," which is really representing stored memory of a pattern, a prescription for producing a sameness that has its place and value, but requires no particular ingenuity to deal with needed variations on the theme, or a new kind of application where an adaptation might need to be done to make something fit and be workable in a new setting, for example. This may not be doable with rational thinking alone. It will require an inspired reworking and rethinking of things, meaning a need for inspiration, and that will come from the deeper intuitive reach in most cases. There are people with extreme talent at memorizing information and also artistic elements, patterns, design features, shapes, and textures in a way that defies logic and reason for the average person. These are often seen in the autistic who are higher functioning beings, but can think in terms of pictures in a way that leaves everyone else in the dust in the rapidity with which they can see patterns and recall specifics of visual minutia not even noticed by most observers, but will be recallable and on file in perfect, exquisite, detail due to their deep recall. Intuition can bring novel insights to bear and inner knowings from outside the experience and awareness directly, of the person through their normal senses. This is what gives the intuitive reach its greatest value. It is having your inner Creator accessible and part of your toolkit to, in a sense, pull a rabbit out of a hat when needed to come up with a solution to a problem that may never have occurred to anyone. That cannot be done through rational thought alone because there is no true bridge from here to there. There is a gap. Intuition will bridge gaps in knowledge and information and will end up filling them in with knowledge coming from beyond the individual and their mind alone—that is its hallmark. It is an awareness of things beyond the self and that is the hallmark of intuition which is, in essence, non-local consciousness, meaning it is not confined to the person and certainly not their brain alone, but can range far and wide to encounter and absorb information about many, many things, and can be deployed purposefully to explore and add elements for creative enterprises of all kinds to fill in the gaps needed to create something new.
