Intuition and Fear of Death

Spinoza's one example of Intuition is of solving '1 : 2 = 3 : x' without hearsay or calculation.  Yet, Intuition becomes essential to his final formula of liberation from the Emotions--from Fear of Death.  In that context, the significant characteristic of Intuition is that it consists in Mind reflecting on Mind, and, hence, as detached from Body, in apparent violation of his thesis of Mind-Body Parallelism. On that basis, he argues that Intuition can be Knowledge of one's Mind as surviving the death of one's Body, a Knowledge that thus liberates one from the ultimate Fear.  Now, these passages are the least heterodox of the Theological dimension of his doctrine, and an effort to appease multiple hostile social groups can be appreciated.  Still, he has other resources in his doctrine at his disposal, beginning with a distinction between Fear as a response to a specific threat, and Fear as a response to Death in general.  For, on the basis of his fundamental principle, the endeavor to persist in one's being, Death is an Inadequate Idea, and, hence, has no reality.  Accordingly, Fear of Death, which is a cardinal factor in the orthodox Theology that has dominated much of human society for millennia, is as idle as an emotional response to a piece of fiction.  Instead, Intuition can soundly serve other functions in his doctrine, e. g. the immediate awareness that one's creativity is immanent divine creativity, thus providing the Ethics with a completion that is as heterodox as its beginnings.
