When people talk about Truth, they come at it from two different ways, either discussing a rational, unemotional approach, or a high sensation, “trust your gut” approach. However, some researchers believe we begin with that feeling, that sensation, and then reason backwards into the conclusion that we’ve come to, rather than letting reason be independent of our feelings and sensations.
It’s a hard road to walk away from something that we think “we KNOW” is true. But that’s one of the implications of my last post; namely, we need to vigorously revise our assessments. Unfortunately, we haven’t evolved to do that. Our brains do better working backwards, using heuristics (shortcuts), and generally finding fast answers. If we’re after for something bigger than those, we have to work against our own natures to dig deeper towards the Truth.
