The Sacrifice of Understanding

Our ability to understand is the very gift of life, not our ability to “think”. Thought is something else entirely. Understanding is love. It is the offspring of infinity, and the Living Truth. We routinely sacrifice our understanding to the false god of reason everytime we put our faith in human rationality. We even sacrifice our children's understanding by teaching them to trust reason over intuition.
But understanding allows this sacrifice, because if it did not then we could never come to realize that understanding is eternal, and freely given (never earned).
