Unsubstantiated Knowledge

Years ago I wrote a column about "knowledge without learning."  I interviewed two or three learning specialists in the Federal Way and Seattle School Districts.  We discussed muscle memory, right brain versus left brain dominance, visual learners, audio learners, and various related topics.

I included the possibility that intuition, or a sixth sense, provided knowledge without learning.  How do we know what we know?  Did we learn all of our stored information?  If so, why do we question what we have learned?  Where do the questions come from if not our own mind and power of reasoning or are our questions merely deductions based on learning?Do we possess inherent information?  What is intuition if not knowledge without learning?

I think we know so much more than we are consciously aware of, but how do we access this part of us?

I'm wondering now if Agnes (my supposedly addled Grandmother) in balancing between two worlds, was actually experiencing unsubstantiated knowledge?  I think she really did see dead people.
