Some people have the idea that logic and spirituality are opposed to each other. They are brainwashed. Nothing is further from the truth.https://youtu.be/tLVA07_ISUk&t=36In this video Bashar says that you don't take to heart other people's negative opinion of you or negative attitude toward you if you know that it has nothing to do with you, and the only reason you would have a negative emotional response to the perceived attack at you is if some part of you is buying into it as being about you. The thing is when you hear this talk it leaves you with a sense of vagueness. That's because he's not giving the actual method to get to this insight. You don't just hear these few minutes of his talk and then it just clicks, there's a path and a method that has been discovered and then written down. I'm sure there are multiple facets of that path or that method, but one of those facets is logic.>If you really know what these fallacies are then you can be alert for them both in the statements of yourself and of others and if other people commit them you don't then have to rely just on an uneasy feeling that there's something wrong with what he said but you don't know specifically what. You can smile in the face of someone committing one of these fallacies. You can see clearly what it is and you can just look at him and say oh that's argumentum ad ignorantiam, that's petitio principii etchttps://youtu.be/U3Jm8zF7bJ8&t=113When you don't know whether there's something faulty about someone's argument or what exactly is faulty about it you are prone to take it personally, take it as an attack on you as a person. This is an ego response, which is the opposite of being spiritual. The more you study logic, the better you get at detaching ideas from yourself, holding ideas in a space that is outside of your ego, rather than constantly mingling ideas with the ego, which is what an unspiritual and unrefined mind does.
