I also think the quote you discuss can be better understood in conjunction with this one from him. “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

I wrote an essay not long ago seeking to "marry" science, spirituality (not religion) and philosophy as three pillars in the search for truth. Visually view them as three sides of a triangle, or better yet, three dimensionally as a pyramid.

"I see the shorter base of the golden-ratio-isosceles-triangle representing science and the other two equal-length sides representing philosophy and spirituality, as I think that we need to allocate more force to philosophy and spirituality to counterbalance the favored discipline of science.

I have also thought about a pyramid constructed of four equilateral triangles and then the question becomes which discipline gets represented twice in the square interdependent foundation of that pyramid? I leave that decision up to each reader."
