SUPRARATIONAL MYSTERIES
Intuitio Lab focuses its attention on intuition, which encompasses an infra-rational dimension, a classical dimension, and a suprarational dimension.
However, there are other mysterious or unexplained suprarational practices and abilities that some observers, rightly or wrongly, often associate with intuition.
Sometimes there is a more or less established connection, but most often these other suprarational mysteries—sometimes enlightening, often unsettling—have no relation to intuition, or only a very distant one, even though intuition has the capacity to sense everything.
Below is a list of the main suprarational or paranormal mysteries, most of which are considered unexplained. We will gradually study each one, particularly their potential connections—or, more often, the lack of direct or indirect links—with intuition.
It is crucial to clarify ambiguities and clearly distinguish these poorly understood and often misinterpreted concepts, as confusion and misinterpretations cloud minds and hinder a deep understanding of intuition.
Let us emphasize that intuition, even in its suprarational dimension, is not an esoteric activity. In reality, if it were not stigmatized, it would be better understood.

Classified by families, we will analyze each of these paranormal or alleged mysteries in sufficient detail:
