I like the analogy of how some see colors when, of course, most people do. Maybe someday technology will find away to manage who sees in color and who doesn't. They can give credentials to those who only see gray and ship the others out to labor farms.

I found my spirit upon logic and reason. They do not always agree, but they agree to disagree.

I can see what thumbscrew is arguing though. One can believe in God and not believe that every coincidence and every strangely shaped rock is a sign. Believing in something doesn't mean you have to believe in everything. I don't not believe in God, but everything I've observed about the universe suggests to me that, if God created it, He probably didn't do much more than set it in motion. I certainly doubt that He wills every particle and would arrange for me to see the ghost of the Loch Ness Monster if He actually wanted me to believe in him.

Logic and reason establish the environment for which paradox can be perceived. You must be on a growth path? Someday you will allow the spirit to move you to greater heights of awareness. This logic and reason can take you just so far--then you must let go and soar on your own--here is where imagination is more important than knowledge.

Reason is not the enemy of imagination. It's what allows us to imagine truly fantastic things. Reason, reality, stimuli, make our imagination useful to us, rather than merely fantasy. Without reason, what we imagine can only take us so far, and can only become so much.
