This could be considered an esoteric argument and question you are posing, but it gives us the opportunity to point out that many things that are human notions and conveniences in describing phenomena, have a larger potential when seen from a divine perspective in their fullest expression. So, in this instance, rational thinking, meaning accurate and appropriate thought directed in a way that gets results, because it incorporates factual information and actions designed to further the being, in some respect, to add to their capability and their effectiveness in living their lives in some way or another—that view of rationality is a very superficial description of the power of love being expressed freely from the heart. We would say that is rational and, in fact, is the most rational expression of the being. If the criterion for rationality is the embodiment of divinity, this is a higher standard and a higher attainment than simply to be correct in one’s thinking and command of factual information. That is a low-level exhibition of capability, to simply have the right side of an argument. Most human endeavors are limited in their value and the depth of involvement they represent with respect to the big issues of life and the destiny of the soul. Most human undertakings are trivial and quite superficial in terms of the level of engagement with the purpose of human existence and its potential. That is due to many factors—ignorance of the true reality being one of them. You cannot be something you are not, but the true problem is you cannot be who you truly are because you lack the wherewithal while in human form. That is a fundamental dilemma of human existence. You would see that as a penalty. We would see that as a growth and learning opportunity to fill in what is missing through life experience to gain the wisdom to encompass what is missing and bring it into your awareness sufficiently that you appreciate the shortfall and know to strive for more.
