Being renegade is risky- you could turn out to be the next Einstein if your work is accepted and reproducible, but if not then you fall by the wayside or worse- discredited and basically unable to do much work due to your inability to obtain research funding.It's a good thing to keep the intuition in check through rational evaluation - either by use of feeling or thinking faculties. That is if you want to actually make practical use of what it has to offer. However, you can also keep it in some more subjectively raw, undigested form if the purpose is to relate a sense of (ambiguous) wonderment or want to reveal your psychological free associations.
You are right though- I believe many scientists are extremely interested in things like this, but remain quiet about it for their own self preservation.

I like Sheldrake's insightful presentations on the subject. Christopher Bach shares his experiences with a "shared mind".
