Anarchistbanjo's World

An effort has been made to exult scientific consciousness as the only true and valid form of awareness. It does this with an absolute doubt of anything the mind does not accept as rational and logical. It does not recognize nature, personal experience or opinion, and will not stop until everything is logical and rational. What they’re really getting at is a way to say that reality is rational and understandable, and if it doesn’t make sense, if it’s not rational and understandable then it’s not real!

This is obviously flawed thinking because it’s easily demonstrated that the reality we experience is often subjective and infinite in nature. Consider the emerging science of chaos theory. Chaos theory shows how an infinite nonrepeating pattern or sequence still has a structure and orderliness even if we can’t completely comprehend it. A perfect example is how each one of us is human, but none of us are identical. This is a simplistic example but it’s a valid example! We don’t understand how we can all be human, but at the same time all be different. But that’s the way it is!

Logic and reason cannot comprehend the infinite and it cannot comprehend chaos theory. Logic and reason lead only to paradox and that was proven back in the 12th-century when the highest form of art was to prove something and then through dialectics disprove it! But we have conveniently forgotten that.

Feelings and emotions exist and their effects are real. Emotions are not rational and they are not logical but they make life rich and worth living! The physical senses are not rational or logical but they give us information that we need to survive in this world.

The person that thinks logic and reason is the highest thing that humanity can achieve is like a paraplegic compared to the life experience of a childlike heart! It takes a childlike heart to bring true life and vitality into this world! The person with a childlike heart that lives in simplicity is the true philosopher, not the person that lives in their head withdrawn from all life experience. The person with a childlike heart understands the true divinity within life itself!
