Hi friends, while were on the magical versus rational approach to life, heres a great explanation from Seth of just how detrimental the rational approach can be to us: The intellect CAN and does form strong paranoid tendencies when it is put in the position of believing that it must solve all personal problems alone... The rational approach, built up around this framework, insists that the best way to solve a problem is to concentrate upon it, to project its effects into the future, to ruminate upon its consequences, to stare at the bare facts head on. This brings about an atmosphere in which the problem is compounded. The intellect on its own—so it seems—must deal not only with the problem today, but with its effects in the projected disastrous tomorrows. This well-intentioned concentration, this determination to solve the problem, this rational approach, then causes an even deeper sense of inadequacy. The concentration upon the problem brings about a kind of mechanical repetition, a repeated type of hypnotic focus. The Magical Approach, Session Two (originally underlined word in caps)
