<< I'm not sure good linear reasoning has misled us >>

Randy,

GOOD linear reasoning does not mislead. Unbalanced linear rationalization 
does. The difference is that the former is powered and harmonized by a deep 
intuitive awareness. The latter, is empty of any such intuitional resonance 
and serves only to sustain the noise of our verbosity. The image of the blind 
leading the blind, is a perfect example of our social dilemma today. 

<<Is not reason fundamental to any meaningful discussion of even the 
experiential, the spiritual, the ethereal?>>

The other way around Randy. Experience of spiritual, ethereal and 
abstractional realities is fundamental to proper human reasoning. The 
reasoning/rationalizing process, without those underpinnings is just static. 
The legacy of enlightened reasoning and inspiration comes to us from those 
who have experienced this wholeness.
