Some of the greatest scientific thinkers deeply respect the non-rational, and they aren't afraid to say so. Perhaps it is part of their genius. The non-rational inspires fun, creativity, a connection with others, and a feeling of reverence. Trying to contain our thoughts within reasonableness squeezes the life out of them. The simple beauty of color and form in a stone; the graceful, synchronized movement of a flock of birds; the miracle of understanding and loyalty in a friendship - these are truths beyond our ownership. We can feel these truths. We can be moved and inspired by them. We can never fully know their mysteries.
Our
addictive natures have led us to overemphasize reason and the control
it promises. We've become reasonable while discarding the less
controlled, creative, humorous, mysterious, and personal aspects of
our lives. At this very moment we may be so focused on figuring out
the reasonable answer to a problem that we are blocking the gut
message, which is also here for us.
