Mo'at's Blood Test

Is Mo'at somehow spiritually connected to everyone including Jake, and thus took faith in him because of Eywa? Or did she take a gamble on Jake?

James Cameron mentioned that animals on Pandora have heightened instincts, but are certainly not telepathically connected. Thus, Mo'at's reasons to let Jake stay has never been too clear to me.

Mo'at is a Priestess. She is in touch with Eywa, spiritually. Through the blood test, Eywa was able to communicate to Mo'at her will for Jake - that he be trained in the Na'vi ways. Eywa had big plans for Jake, and through Mo'at, Eywa saw to it that Jake would be prepared well for his great mission.
