This semester I argued that there were these "transcendental presuppositions" that connect humanity to reality. One was the law of non-contradiction. I think that this is a grounding principle of human existence.
My big question now is if God can be "experienced" through logic. What i am saying is that they way we have been describing myth there is an emotional connection. However, one could argue that emotions are in the mind. Meaning i guess that they are chemical level or something that goes on up there or if not the mind then somewhere in the body. However, all these are part of a finite being and what we have been talking about is eternal truths being revealed.
However, if the eternal can be experienced though only for a moment through emotions then it seems that it could be through logic as well.
Meaning I believe that logic as well as emotions and everything else are gifts for God. This make me think that although both are finite both could get a piece of the eternal because they come from the same place.
For instance I think Descartes had a great experience when he formulated his "proof of God" through logic. And when that one dude found out about buoyancy of water he ran down the street naked. Talk bout an experience.
What i am saying is that i think you can analyze to death a experience like we have been saying all sem. but i do think that you can logically experience God or the eternal truths for moments as well.
