I’m walking an increasingly spiritual path in my life, but this article lays a solid foundation for my thinking: yes, emotions can be amazing and they pretty much run the show; yes, you can only access those deep transcendental feeling by being in this ‘mythic’ mode where you see crazy coincidences; but no, they don’t have to be truths about the nature of the world, and it is important to be able to navigate both to lead a fully satisfying life.
