Ok, I came across something in my travels that finally explained what so many on this forum have been trying to get across about uber-control of all-knowing mind or whatever...
"If we can reason, it is because our thoughts can obey the order of the logical relations among propositions-- so here again we depend on a Platonic harmony.... I call this view alarming... [because] it is hard to know what world picture to associate it with, and difficult to avoid the suspicion that the picture will be religious, or quasi-religious. Rationalism has always had a more religious flavor than empiricism. Even with God, the idea of a natural sympathy between the deepest truths of nature and the deepest layers of the human mind, which can be exploited to allow gradual development of a truer and truer conception of reality, makes us more at home in the universe than is secularly comfortable."
