Having grown up raising and training horses, I understand that plugging in with the world in general.

Here is an idea to get into how it works;

We are mobile organisms, so it seems logical the sequence of perceptions by which we experience our world arises from the need to navigate it.

A primary effect of this is that our concept of time is as the point of the present moving past to future. Physics codifies it as measures of duration.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is the present, as the events come and go.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it is the present, creating time, as well as temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

So as the present, energy goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past.

Energy drives the wave, while the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Now consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Though it's the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts the information, signals from the noise. Desire and judgement. Motor and steering.

Now the one thing people have, is an extremely developed central nervous system, so maybe intuition isn't so much about the information, as it is the energy and potentially conscious energy.

We seem to assume consciousness is a function of the brain, but it arises from sentience, which is much more than the cognitive functions of the brain.

What consciousness is, specifically, is that interface between the body and its world, intermingling with the interfaces of the other beings sharing the space.

Given our evident tendencies toward hive mind behavior, even if we don't willingly recognize it, it's a fact our brain waves often synchronize. Everything from love, to war, to the woke movement would be examples.

Now each of us seems to have this wireless device that transmits lots of information as radio waves, why wouldn't nature, over billions of years of evolution, not have also made use of this mechanism? Or does she and it's only our particular brand of thick headedness that makes us blind to it?

All information really is, is shadows on the wall. The energy projects it.

As Emerson put it, "We are but thickened light."
