Although, I am a passionate defender of the 5 Ways, I am still a mystic at heart. Reason can only take one so far.
If you define reason according to the way dark forces want, but reason encompasses mysticism, while there are irrational forms of mysticism (infinite ways of irrational forms of mysticism), reason is the only true mysticism that will guide.
It at the heart is the name of God, it was Jesus in the past, it was Elijah who took the position of the holy spirit after, and the praised one who was to be sent was also instance of the name of God and holy spirit (Mohammad), and his 12 successrs are all instances of the name of God and reliable reason and logic to be downloaded information from, and reflection ought to facilitate knowledge, like shadows disappear by the sun.
Reason is a means to reflect and conclude firmly, and at the heart of it, we ought to make those who are the means to God the eyes by which we see, with no difference between the witness and vision of what we see, we call by them, for they are the beautiful names that belong to God, that is each one of them is the name of God just as Samuel was (Samuel means name of God).
The path to knowledge is the path of annihilating the dark ego and falsehood, and that is praised a millions times more then anything else, while the path to God, through the likes of Abraham, is belittled.
