Read the sentence from emerson's "self-reliance," and then answer the question. "a man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages." emerson's reference to “that gleam of light” most likely refers to a. god. b. the brain. c. intuition. d. learned truths.

“Self-Reliance", an essay written by the American philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, contains the most comprehensive statement of one of Emerson's recurrent tenets: the need for each individual to evade conformity and false consistency, and pursue their own instincts and ideas.

So the answer is:

C. intuition.
