So there’s nothing wrong with our ability to use logic, to reason, to pick up lots of facts and induce truths from them, manufacture hypotheses or deduce things from those. That’s all great. It’s really good. But that is merely the control part of any conscious ritual.
Even a scientist or a philosopher will talk about thought experiments and playing with the rules. And it’s that playfulness, it’s that spontaneity that often gives, often reveals what the scientist or the philosopher is looking for. It’s not an answer. It’s not a destination. It’s part of the journey.
Controlled spontaneity keeps the true scientist, the pure philosopher, the romantic artist, the creator who is not wedded to technology or to making money on the path, on the journey.
