I like it, but I think the last two lines are the most important:

But first you have to get familiar with it. Intuition is an EQ competency and can be developed.
Regardless of what your gut/intuition actually says, we all interpret those feelings in some respect. Regardless of one's level of consciousness, in order to be aware of your feelings your brain must get involved. Unfortunately many of us involve our brain too much and thus we end up with interpretations of our feelings which are incorrect.

So yes, emotions, intuition, gut feelings, all can tell us things that our brain may not be able to, but not if our brain gets in the way

You have a funny feeling about your finacee? Show her the door.
And what happens when that "funny feeling" is simply your paranoia? Bam! Relationship destroyed for no good reason.
