The rational mind, which originally developed as a tool for cutting through superstition and finding the real and true, has become the means of robbing the world of poetry and magic and instituting information and depression instead. This is because it is now in the hands of people unqualified to wield it. Any tool of such power and potential is dangerous and requires a deeply humble egoless mind to properly put to use, otherwise it serves he who wields it rather than any objective truth.
