Also, intuition, I think of just as more sensitive perceptions - abilities many seem to have lost, hence appear miraculous when they manifest them.

Exactly. I've mentioned before that I believe many things that seem supernatural to most is in fact somethign natural we have been tricked into disregarding and allowing to atrophy through misuse.

We don't speak that way, but "happy-factor-2" would be a different word to "happy-factor-9" ;-)

This made me laugh, yet your right. Sometimes words are not only ineffective but actually are harmful for trying to point where we mean due to their many shades that can at times be contradictory.
