Quote:
When Swami Vivekananda says about going beyond reason, he is saying that one is leaving the limited circle of reason, and entering into the field of intuition, which has no limitations in terms of accessing knowledge.
And I believe superconsciousness is a state where intuition is at its peak.

I think that saying that there's some sort of limiting circle of reason is a silly thing to say. Intuition can be mistaken. Intuition itself is a complex process going on in your brain. It's certainly reasonable in many senses of the term "reason."
What I was saying was that this feels like more of the dressed up anti-intellectualism that you see in the western world (i.e. bible belt christians). There are not limits on reason. There is no "beyond" logic and reason. And by this, I don't mean to place a limit on the concepts of logic/reason or to call them ends to expansion. The words beyond and reason just don't make any sense when you put them together. It's like saying "purple" "smells bad." Its just gibberish.
Reasonable approaches such as the scientific method are what is called a "basis set." They define a "perspective" or "coordinate system." They allow for ideas to be expressed. They do not define limits nor are they limited.
