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=36

In 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 etc

When 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.

when most people say logic they really mean rationality and reason

What's your point?

>>42297805
The entire post is worthless because while logic is well defined, spirituality is not.
I would not say anything you wrote touches on spirituality at all. The closest you get is to say who is the opposite of spirituality, which I disagree with.
A person can be egotistical and spiritual. You are just used to traditions that develop spirituality through removal of ego.
You equate lack of ego with spirituality because you don't know what spirituality is, only that lack of ego might get you there.

Fact checked: True!

Logically cant explain everything but should not be discarted
Same as why intuition cant explain anything but make you FEEL the asnwer, should not be discarded either

You should use both as both are part of your move set, logic to explain why you felt such way and how to better it and intuition/spirituality to make path into better growth

Learn to type, retard.

>>42297805
If you try to explain why anything spiritual has never been problven you will be met with "it does not abide by logic and therefore cannot be tested" so they are antithetical

No. You're confusing logic with science. Science is inherently empirical, logic is not. Logic has always been part of the education of the clergy, in fact the majority of students of logic at places like Oxford in the past was those studying to become clergy, and also many of the books about logic are by clergy (Isaac Watts, Richard Whately). Monks did most of the work on logic in the Middle Ages. The Scholastic tradition was about reconciling Aristotelian logic and Christianity, which produced Summa Theologica etc, this was done by monks. Again, it's just public school brainwashing that there is any contradiction whatsoever between logic and spirituality and between logic and religion, and other media brainwash this too:

You can even check that either by the catholic books on logic or the ancient ones from societys like greece or the orient.

Logic is always connected to intuition and the spirit, plus, how many cases of people discovering mind blowing formulas in dreams

>>42298314
because all supernatural premises are not empirically verifiable, i am free to reject them and the debate ends there. without science, logic is useless because you can make up any random logical argument: all humans breathe fire, i am a human, therefore i breathe fire. this is logically valid but does not comport with reality. the premise that "all humans breathe fire" can be rejected outright. this is why whenever anyone asks how they know if the supernatural is real, you will be told that it can only be experienced for yourself. i.e., a different form of gathering knowledge than what is conventionally held. if i myself have previously breathed fire, but i cannot show it off because it is against the magical laws of the supernatural which evades scientific observation by definition, then my own personal experience becomes the only way to establish my supernatural premises as true and get any actual value out of the logic pertaining to them.

You're a complete fucking retard that can't write, can't think, can't argue, and also didn't even read past the first sentence of the OP and yet you expect me to read your scatterbrained coombrained incoherent shitposts. Study logic, you know fuckall about it. I will not read one more word of your shitposts.

>>42298372
yes you are right

when most people say science they really mean scientism or materialism
