From Atlanta Unitarian: “When reason is forcefully appled to this meaning-making mechanism, the result is violence to the soul. Reason cuts like a knife, separating what in the soul is married. It reduces the soul to a slave, whose worth is no more than what can be objectively measured by the systems of economy or biology.  It is ironic that the great light of reason, liberator of humankind, is also capable of creating a kind of blindness, one that robs us of our deepest insight into ourselves.”
