My sense is that, an intuition is rarely ever complete, much like a dream. What we receive at the other end of that communication is usually just a piece, a symbol, a first starting point. There are of course exceptions. But overall, I have found that I need to develop these ideas further, see if they can truly manifest in reality, if they have unknowingly become distorted by my complexes, etc.
In my experience, intuition seems to give insight in ways that are constructive, with aim, and purpose. I may not always find them agreeable, easy, or congruent with my ego's attitude. I think things can get tricky if we have somehow stumbled into powerful archetypal dynamics (that can possess and inflate ego) or are working with trauma (think Kalsched's bivalent self-care system), etc.
INFJ too, I really resonated with this wonderful article. I am pursuing learning deeper mediumship this year to enhance what I can already do. (Emotional empath, and a few weaker Clairs). The reminder to create and maintain a bridge is a good one. Intentional living does keep me grounded, or else I get lost in my head, reverting to non-productivity in the end. I am registered for the workshop-looking forward to it so very much!
I've explored many intuitive practices over the years. What I have found is they appear to act as a catalyst to focus the natural intuitive function. Once I realized that, it was clear that I didn't need to read tarot or use a pendulum to tap into that, but it was really helpful in creating the environment for me to "open the channel". It also is great in learning the quality of how intuition is experienced in my psyche, I think it can look really different for everyone, hence the discourse around clairs and such.
This is an interesting subject, perhaps I'll write more about it!

That would be a great topic!
Good point! Old Testament God tends to be more multifaceted in his archetypal qualities.
