Let’s review. You said,

Dogma and imagination are incompatible, but reason and intuition are not. Intuition without intellect leads to a wandering imagination and intellect without intuition leaves itself hobbled by skepticism.

3pt took this to mean,

It appears that you take this false truism to mean that you can simply use intuition to claim whatever you intuit to be true.

With which you took umbrage. Perhaps he did misunderstand you, but he went on to clarify what he thinks about intellect and intuition in detail. This should have been an opportunity for you to find agreement instead of focusing on a word here or there. He even took the time to remind you that he could be misinterpreting. You made it worse by putting “invented explanations” in quotes when only you said that.

Then, you commit the most common crime of internet forums,

You need only check all entries I offered on the subject.

Um, we’ve been doing that. You have been claiming that intuition can be a source of facts and can provide some sort of truth that science can’t. So 3pt was not that far off the mark. You’ve been a bit vague though, and you claim that simply because there are thousands of people on the internet claiming “consciousness is independent of the brain” is a thing, that makes it something viable and possibly true. But you have avoided offering any evidence for the probability of it being true. 

Genus quotes:

If we accept the notion of a preexisting realm of consciousness and that our brains, like the TV set or radio in the above stated analogy tunes in to,  receives and interprets this universal medium, then how well our brains function and more critically how far developed our brains are, must and invariably will diminish or amplify our reception of that universally signalling medium.

What I said was it’s very likely that “universal consciousness” exists prior to the human capacity to experience that consciousness and every individual enters into this universal consciousness to varying degrees.

This universal consciousness is a manifestation of the “omniscience” that is ascribed to God.

I hope we can clear up some of these statements before moving forward.
