holistic intelligence: summoning my entire breadth of life experience, coupled with with other people's stories and supplemented with strategic reading, questioning, and searching. this information then passes thru my logical thinking as well as abstract thinking, and once i am ready, i activate my balls/guts and take action.
I do believe there is a teacher in every person we cross paths with. I love that you mention both using the logical mind and trusting the gut (or balls if you have them haha)

thought has the logical and the abstract modes (left and right, roughly speaking).
unbalanced thought results in mediocre actions. oftentimes, the correct action, due to the suppression of what is the right thing to do, takes a lot of guts. that's why it feels like going against the stream, because so much of our thinking is indoctrinated, i.e. unbalanced into too much logic or too much abstract.
