29 It must of course be clearly understood that such an appellation as “lotus flower” has no more bearing on the matter than has the expression “wing,” if applied to the lobe of a lung. 30 In my books, entitled “_The Way of Initiation_” and “_Initiation and Its Results_,” some of these methods of meditation and exercises for acting upon these different organs are set forth. 31 The appellation “two-petalled” or “sixteen-petalled,” and so on, is used because the organs in question may be likened to flowers having a corresponding number of petals. 32 Intuition is in everyday life a much-abused word, which is made to stand for a vague and uncertain view of a matter; for some sort of “notion,” which, while it may possibly “hit” the truth, can nevertheless give no immediate proof of it. It is needless to say that this kind of intuition is not meant here. Intuition, in this case, stands for knowledge of the highest and most luminous clearness, of the justification of which the possessor is, in the fullest sense, conscious. 33 The suggestive points of view for the conduct of education resulting from a knowledge of these supersensible facts are presented in my little book, _The Education of Children from the Standpoint of Spiritual Science_, in which will be found fuller details of what can here only be hinted at.
