Spirit and reason

Logic and reason attempt to kill spirit, or at least deny spirit, in order to advance the agenda of technology and scientific materialism. The material is something we sense with our major subjective senses ie. sight, hearing, sense of touch, sense of taste-- but our inner senses are also subjective, yet the scientific world discounts the value of our subtle senses and places high value on our skills in regards to sensing the outer world.

Reason kills spirit. If you disagree with this please respond.

Well, that's what Thumbscrew is doing, really. TS is probably a gray. If you know that term. Ya, TS is an alien, and wants to destroy the spirit of this world, so the grays can take over.

But ah, seriously, it's like I said before, some people don't experience the other half, so they conclude it don't exist. Unfortunately for em, they are not the centre of the universe, and many people do experience what they do not ...

They are like blind people telling everyone that colors don't exist. They will never see color, and they'll never accept from me that they exist. Yet they do.

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

Glad to know that some scientists contemplated these things......
