Right, and I agree with both of you. There has been an historical trend
whereby rationality is favored over, for lack of a less trite word - emotion,
and "emotion" as a quasi-term of art has been equated with the feeling of
the fully experienced gestault of existence. Folks internalize disdain for
the experience of existence and become angelized. They value the
intellectual or spiritual more than the actually experienced. For that
reason, they don't really experience anything except their own angelization.
My original point was that traditional western philosophy helped create this
artificial divide between reason and the rest of life.
We're all talking about the same thing, I think. It's just a matter of coming
around three ways to say it.
