Keep the Tripartite Model in Mind

At first blush, I say, Yes, indeed follow the light of your intuition.  Follow the light of your intellect and your purpose, too.  In other words, keep the Tripartite Model in mind, which encourages us to approach things and situations from analytic (Science), creative (Art) and spiritual (Religion) perspectives. But on second thought, we ought not categorically dismiss that darkness of convention.  There may be gems of insight there.  Moreover, those who are in that darkness may need others' help in walking them to the light and bringing the light to them.  Intuition is one fine source of light, but it isn't the only one.
