[[jung, carl]] quoted in [[kruger, rafael - pistis - demystifying jungian psychology]] pg. 69 [[consciousness is primarily an organ of orientation in a world of outer and inner facts]] >These three functions would be quite sufficient for orientation if the object in question were isolated in space and time. But, in space, **every object is in endless connection with a multiplicity of other objects**; and, in time, the object represents merely a transition from a former state to a succeeding one. Most of the spatial relationships and temporal changes are unavoidably unconscious at the moment of orientation, and yet, in order to determine the meaning of an object, space-time relationships are necessary. > >It is the fourth faculty of consciousness, **intuition**, which makes possible, at least approximately, the determination of space-time relationships. This is a function of *perception* which includes subliminal factors, that is, the possible relationship to objects not appearing in the field of vision, and the possible changes, past and future, about which the object gives no clue. Intuition is an immediate awareness of relationships that could not be established by the other three functions at the moment of orientation.
