Beyond Thinking: What Rumi Knew About the Limits of the Rational Mind
from Luminary Flow · host Kolbrún | Luminary Flow
A 13th century Persian poet and a Greek philosopher 1500 years before him described the same thing — a mode of knowing that the rational mind cannot reach by its own methods. In this episode we trace Rumi's precise distinction between the partial intellect and the universal intellect, why he called the threshold between them bewilderment, and what it actually means to receive knowledge directly rather than construct it. Not mysticism. Not religion. A natural human capacity that most people have already touched without recognizing it. Receive my free guide "5 Inner Blocks That Keep You From Deep Spiritual Growth."
