"the need of mere action seems to me mostly the consequence of some limited belief."
or, operating from a position of ego-identification, which is actually the opposite of "inspiration" and may tend to increase, but increase what? Inspiration = inbreath. And it is the Divine that 'breathes us'. Intuition is both Divine gift and Divine connection; that is, open channel, unempeded by limited seeing, or what Buddhists call "partial view".
that is to say, I intuit your intuition is right on. :-)
