Nature pulls humans back to Sense
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein.
Evolution proceeds by trial, errors and selection. The 21st century true-false way of life is an error and won't be selected. Henk Tuten
Re-entering 'reality', even if with glasses, takes realizing in a flash that Western World inhabitants are only called 'rational' because their
selfmade spectacles are of brand 'Rational'.
Not because the Christian 'God' who owns a multinational called 'Heaven' markets 'rational' glasses.
'Rational' glasses for sure produce a view on reality, in some aspects even brilliant, but such a 'rational' view can be totally weird.
Using rational spectacles means that you see a
a 'rational' subreality, just like the 'muslim' subreality. Living outside 'rational'-reality
in 'rational' view means that you're not welcome in the Christian owned house called 'Heaven', and might cause being chased as 'terrorist'.
Ancient western thinker Aristotle grew up on the huge slavefarm 'House of Macedon'.
For Aristotle human life was parasitism,
Masters not as members of human herds, but as owners/exploiters of human slaves.
Aristotle designed a god-factor 'anima' to make sense of his experience (big factor = Master; small factor = slave).
You might see the god-factor 'anima' as 'hunger for slaves' = hunger for dominance = arrogance.
Some 'Masters' (much arrogance) served by
chattel slaves (born to be slave because of insufficient arrogance) .
Aristotle's master Alexander the Great (halfgod, HUGE arrogance) spread Aristotelianism (world of godly design with superior/inferior humans) in the Middle East,
in 12 years of blitzwar (superior exploitation using military force, halfgod punishes barbarians: robbery, rape, death, slavery). Alexander also spread use of Greek language, and that way
prepaired the Middle East for later colonization by the Roman Empire that was always in need for new sources of slaves..
Middle east cultures (with exception Hinduism) did not believe in halfgods and were not familiar with chattel slavery. Persian Zoroastrianism (origin of Buddhism) even forbade slavery
(inherently forbade 'playing god', disrespect of nature).
In Catholicism the Romans 'translated' the god-factor 'anima' in Aristotelianism into 'spirit'.
This they did to explain exploitation by slavery as 'pagans' (not 'spirituals') in need of Masters. The Romans could not imagine a life without slaves,
the number of slaves expressed their 'spirituality' (superiority).
The Romans brought the arrogance doctrine of Aristotle to Europe.
In the 17th century Descartes 'redefined' anima into 'ratio' and superficiously removed the god-aspect.
From there in a few ages 'rationalism' conquered the world. The most fanatic branches of Aristotelianism/rationalism (Lutheranism/Calvinism) were banned to The New World (America).
In WWI and WWII three Lutheran variants fought for world power. Winner: US.
Steve Jobs: Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That’s had a big impact on my work.
[..]Western rational thought is not an innate human characteristic; it is learned and is the great achievement of Western Civilization.
[...] I saw the craziness of the Western world as well as its capacity for rational thought.
We, the human herds, are temporarily in paradigm paralysis (dreaming until disaster), but can stay away from the conflict thinking 'We and Nature' (and the arrogant destruction of natural variance).
We'll rebalance intuition and ratio. We'll find new leaders and we'll survive.
Evolution allways beats 'nightmares' with a final breakthrough (paradigm shift)
