32. 32. The Mystical Positivist - Part 2 - Interview

    "The Mystical Positivist," is dedicated to the application of reason in the pursuit of spiritual practice and development.

My thesis is that rationality is in no way the antithesis of deep mystical experience, in fact, I assert that it is a necessary ally - hence the blog name "Mystical Positivist."
