> How does it effect your understanding?

[Platt]
Understanding of what? I don't understand your question.

[Case]
You say that reason and emotion play a role in you appreciation of beauty.
This I think I understand; but you add this spiritual part and I am curious
about it. You say it is inexpressible in words. How is that different than
emotion? Is it a connection to the supernatural? I thought there was a
pretty extensive vocabulary for expressing ideas about the spirit. Is it a
still small voice? The vague apprehension of you know not what? Does it aid
you in determining Truth? If so, does it factor in, as say, a third with
reason and emotion each getting a third? How would you weight it?

I ask because I think for example that reason plays almost no role in
determining Truth. Reason is a process for checking your work. It does not
lead one to the truth it just verifies that the path taken has validity.
