Yet I fear that rationality is itself the major obstacle for the scientific world in learning to deal with psi, since rationality is itself born of the very language of the culture in which it is expressed. I have become convinced of the proposition, following Benjamin Whorf, that logic, reasoning and rationality, as well as philosophy, science, and more, are a rather direct outgrowth of the grammar of a language.
All men are mortal.
Therefore Socrates was mortal. OR we are forced to admit there may be some kinds of language-based logics that are verby, and to open up the terms for a much larger meaning of multiples which gives no arbitrarily privileged position to any one. Yet most of us still have no problem picturing the Mickey Mouse head of an H 2 O molecule or the solar-system picture of the inside of an atom made possible by our education and enculturation. I don't think so.
