"Direct insight" is a way of characterizing the difference between a process of analytical reasoning (ie: socratic reasoning, as one example)..and reading buddhists scriptures, thinking about them, and deciding that they seem true based upon you own quasi or semi systematic "insight". The notion that you (or elders/preists, more likely in theraveda) have "direct access to insight". No system required, just contemplation of concepts themselves.
Theraveda, huh. SE Asian?
