Reply #64: I am not particularly talking about the "beyond logic" OP [View All]

[kwassa]

The word "beyond" is a sticking point that implies it is better than logic, rather than just being a legitimate alternative to logic.

We have a wide variety of perceptive abilities. Logic is the after-the-fact analysis of the experience. Attempting to immediately derive meaning from many experiences is impossible, for those that are profound and shake us for some reason. Have you ever seen a movie that you really didn't like, but you couldn't get it out of your head? You continue to process the information because it reaches you in some way, and you might file that experience away without coming to a conclusion about it.

Attempting to come to a logical conclusion about this film could fail, and you could give up in frustration, and call the film bad. It might be bad, but still have something to say that is important to you in some way.

And yet somehow you know it is important. Where does that knowledge come from?

and as you said, you do the best you can, and for many, that means a spiritual practice.
