Understanding human experience must occur only with the utilization of both sides of our brains. All emotion and gestalt perception can't see the trees; and all abstract, sequential reasoning can't see the forest! When we try to make sense of ourselves and the world in which we live, we have to think intuitively and rationally. They are two sides of the same coin of knowledge, understanding, sense-making, truth-finding.
And so, to those who think that reason is the only way to truth, I mention this quote:
El hombre que pretende obrar guiado sólo por la razón esta condenado a obrar muy raramente. -Gustavo Le Bon
(translation: "The man who functions solely by reason is condemned to function very rarely.")
