Kant claimed that it wasn't possible for humans to have intellectual intuition because he couldn't think of how it was possible (Guenon succinctly and accurately flays him in 'Intro to Hindu Doctines' for wishing to impose the limits of his own ignorance upon others). The supreme irony is that Kant himself in his first critique admitted that God would have to have intellectual intuition because otherwise He would be subject to limits which could not be true as any true supreme God is unlimited. As the Upanishads state that God is really the inner Self of all beings it provides the explanation in accordance with Kant's thought for how they can experience intellectual intuition (i.e. it's really God inside their consciousness who has this intuition) but because Kant never left Konigsberg he never had the chance to be initiated into the metaphysical teachings and associated spiritual practices which allow someone to do this

Yeah this sounds like Kant saying there was no proof and it's just something that's rationally justified.

The real question you should consider is that if you need initiation for someone to tell you this then you're still a dualist.
