"As one will see, it is not through logical reasoning, through a series of properly interrelated ideas that the truth may be known. All reasoning leads to the adoption of a position, which opens but one perspective to us. And it would be equally vain to multiply these points of view, for the comprehension of the reality is not the sum total of all perspectives--it is not the act of totalizing. It is through intuition that goes beyond logic, outside the play of opposites, that we will be able to understand the nature of the real."
Swami Siddheswarananda

A lot of truth is this one Dan. I run into these views in my work all the time. People are looking to totalize or create 'consensus reality' because they want to share a reality, or at least a portion of a reality. It's the agreement business--trying to get people to agree to one reality that they can advance into the future. That is strategic planning. Flawed it is, but it nevertheless aims to bridge perception. Your Swami begs the question: Can we?
