    I seem to have a natural intuitiveness which I can't really explain in me although it is very very little. Is it possible

    Yes, it is absolutely possible – and Jain Dharma fully accepts this.

    From a Jain point of view:

    • Every jiva (soul) has chetanā – consciousness.
    • This shows itself as jñān (knowing) and darshan (perceiving).
    • Even in a worldly state, some small natural inner sensing can appear – like a quiet feeling, “this is right / this is not right”, or a sudden clarity about something, without a clear outer reason.

    In simple terms, what you are calling “natural intuitiveness” can be understood as:

    • A slight awakening of your own inner awareness, through weaker coverings of certain karmas.
    • Not something magical, just a natural function of the soul when it is a bit less disturbed or less clouded at that moment.

    From the Jain side, a few important cautions:

    1. Do not inflate ego

    - Never think, “I am special, I know everything.” - Treat it as a small help on the path, not as some big power.

    1. Test it with dharma

    - True inner guidance will never push you towards violence, dishonesty, cheating, or ego. - If the feeling supports ahimsā, satya, aparigraha, humility, it is more likely wholesome.

    1. Strengthen it the right way

    - Regular samayik (equanimity), pratikraman, swādhyāy (study), and gentle meditation on the soul make inner clarity more stable and pure. - As passions (anger, pride, deceit, greed) reduce, this kind of clarity becomes cleaner and less mixed with imagination.

    Both Śvetāmbara and Digambar traditions accept that:

    • The soul, by nature, has knowledge and perception.
    • As karmic veils thin even a little, subtle insights can arise.
    • But full, perfect intuition (like keval jñān) is only for the omniscient Arihants / Siddhas.
