Intuition--which Bergson called the surest road to truth--eradicates hesitancies. When you are in contact with the Overself in solving a problem, you receive a direct command what to do and you then know it is right. The clouds and hesitancies and vacillations which arise when struggling between contrary points of view, melt. Whereas, if you are not in contact with the Overself, but only being carried along through karma, then you swing back and forth with emotion or opinion.
