Enlightened rationality

In our searching, we are asking for the actual experience. In all the scriptures it has been said that we will be born again. We are looking for a second birth, which is within us. All the religions talk about it. We have to stabilize ourselves to get the experience and it will work out. We search with our minds and rationality for the truth. This mind is not connected to the whole. We are not aware of the whole, we have so many problems. Thinking, unenlightened rationalization, and awareness, are different. Rationality has all the time been living with the ego. We can't separate the ego and rationality - neither is perfected nor mature. If we are mature enough to know why there are vibrations in the molecules - through rationality we cannot discover this. We cannot give answers to questions - e.g. Why are we human beings? We take too much for granted. If we try to rationalize everything we'll go mad. Our rationality is not mature enough, it is not enlightened. The "I" within us knows the rationality, but rationality doesn't know the "I". We can't know each other's point of view. Why human beings are made out of an amoeba - through rationalizing and logic?
