Spanish term or phrase: apreciar vital
This is the context:

"Nunca aceptes como cierto nada, venga de donde venga, lo diga quien lo diga, sin antes contrastarlo con tu apreciar vital."

What I really do not understand "apreciar vital" I have seen them used separately, but never together.

vital understanding / perceptive insight


Explanation:
I think they mean sth. like 'gut feeling', but this may be too informal for the context. A couple more:

innate knowledge / inner vision /

With apologies to Arrigo for using his word, I think another option could be 'innate judgement'.

Explanation:
To me "apreciar vital" means the way you see life through your own experiences, that is, what you have seen with your own eyes, although it can also be taken as what you feel, of course, and that's where manuel's answer fits in.
