So much of what we do and experience is dependent on the way we reason that few faculties of the human mind can be more important to grasp and develop than the ability to think things through clearly and intelligently from a sound basis.
Until we achieve that clarity and depth of spiritual perception that enables us to completely and spontaneously shuck off beliefs in something other than God's spiritual reality, we need to have a more positive spiritual emphasis, to emphasize the spiritual truth more than the material appearance.
