1) Truth is neither the rational explanation of things according to turgid intellectual thought nor is it a rigid system of subjective morality imposed on us by institutional religion. Truth is something we can only approach when we are sensitive to the quality of the energies that are inside us and of those energies that enter us from outside.
2 ) We are only capable of pure or objective reason when the intellect, feelings and intelligence of the body are in perfect balance and working harmoniosly together. How far away we are from such a state! Ordinarily we see reason as just one leg of a three-legged stool and ignore the fact that the stool couldn't function as a stool without the other two legs.
3) We are too easily impressed by the winning of an argument. If we have more intellectual muscle, and are able to be more articulate and persuasively convincing in our line of argument, it does not mean to say that we are right. It simply means that we have more tools at our disposal with which to build a more impressive facade.
4) Many of our psychological problems are caused by ignorance of our physical constitution and how best to feed the intelligence of the body with what it needs in terms of the right balance of food, drink, exercise and practical or physical work. And this is variable in each and every one of us.
