: "So, for me Steve, anything that
: resonates within me that is accessible
: through intuition is mystical."
:
: That works for me, gar.
:
: 'Philosophical,' for me, implies 'rational.'
: Through the thinking mind.
:
: 'Mystical' implies sensed, but not known or
: knowable. Not accessed through the brain,
: but through the gut.
Mystical means non-Empirical in Nature, hidden, Secret, Sacred, not readily apparent,
immeasurable, mysterious, unknowable, not Universal in Nature.
A gut feeling is hidden from Our Five senses, a gut feeling is a sensation generated by One's Sixth Sense, is an intuitive sense of Reality, Spiritualism, the Imagination Gone Wild.
Properly attuned the Sixth Sense, our Intuitive Nature is Rational, Not properly attuned and rather that being rational we have a tendency to lean towards Irrationality, to go off on a tangent.
: The two are not mutually exclusive. I can
: have a philosophy that relies on my gut to
: inform my brain and guide me through life.
Knowledge is acquired only through the Senses the
only problem being the Sixth Sense, which is central to Both Man's Rational and Irrational Behavior.
Knowledge acquire through the five senses do man no harm if dealt with Rationally; While Knowledge acquire through the Sixth sense is extremely Harmful if not dealt with Rationally.
In order to Tao, Reason properly (meaning to be reasonable) One must be sensible, Rational.
Our sixth sense has a sense of Realities that exist beyond the Material World of Reality,
a sense of Realities that are not readily apparent, measurable, Our Sixth sense being the Gate Way to manifold Secrets, the Mystical, Mysterious, Female, our Mystic Mirror.
