Participants and receiving mail

Finding the sixth participant has become a real challenge. However, during the time that several business man rejected my invitation to participate in the study or simply didn't fit the criteria, it became clear to me that I need to find a business woman. There exists a myth that women are more intuitive than men. I do not believe in that myth, but because of the spread myth I assume that it is best to have gender balance between the participants.

Intuition is at first an unconscious process (before-while receiving the message - images, feelings, voices, etc) but once one becomes aware of that message (the image, the voice,...) one starts  to wonder, it enters the deliberate mind for interpretation. Then memory and experience come to play, the deliberate mind starts to interpret. It all is one cognitive process – one stream – on the way to finding meaning.

Right now I thought:
It's like receiving mail in the physical world. Someone puts the letter in your mailbox while you are not present but once you open that mail box and look at the letter, you have received the message and you start thinking about it and reacting to it or throwing it away because it was advertisement.
