'It is really the most astonishing hubris to suppose that the highest wisdom is constituted by the standpoint of conscious reason, for we hardly begin to understand the neural processes without which the very simplest act of reasoning is impossible. The entire possibility of logical and scientific thought rests upon a structure which was formed unconsciously, which we do not understand, and cannot manufacture. Should the finger acuse the hand of clumsiness?'
Alan Watts Myth and Ritual in Christianity 1954
