Can emotion be a way to truth as reason is?
#14
RE: Can emotion be a way to truth as reason is?
I think the point of the OP was to insinuate that if you can trust in reason or your materialistic 5 senses, why not trust in intuition. I don't any reasonable person here disagrees that logic and reason adn the materialistic 5 senses aren't tried and true awesome methods of exploring reality. Are they only addressing the materialistic aspects of reality though. Is there anything outside of the tangible? As an analogy I think he was trying to get at if you use different tools to build a bird house (scredrivers don't work the same as saws or hammers) why would you limit the tools you use to explore something as abstract and unreachable as dimensions, God, etc. to only materialistic ones. I know the standad response is because that's the most objective way we have. Could that be because we spend almost all of our time in the material plane using those material tools that have been honed and trained. Could training tools that aren't materialistic by nature (intuition, sense of time, sense of balance) be practiced at and improved to the same usefullness level?

@CP- I had a similar experience in GCS at Washington, DC down the hill at the dark parkinglot. I was ver thankful for my training as well.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
