What is the source of intuition?

My intuition has never failed me. I have recognized a intuition after a event and I have ignored it and 'paid the price'. Is intuition an advanced human capacity that we have yet to harness? Is it a mental process based on retained experience and associated probabilities? Or, do we process an event and enlist our creative mind to imagine and convince ourselves we were aware prior? Your thoughts

    Jul 14 2012: Intuition, i have similar experiences, what i think is Our mind is far more capable of calculating the Probabilities & combining them with uncertainties effectively. Only issue is i don't know How it happens ie I don't have control over it, to use it in my favor. it just work by itself.
