—When anything trumps reason, it is always disastrous.—
I disagree. I believe that reason has its limitations. I think of logic and emotion as two valid ways of dealing with issues, just as one will choose a hammer over a screwdriver.
I believe the spiritual realm is a third, and much more powerful tool. That said, sometimes people let it override reason when it should not.
When people talk about the spiritual realm they mean the realm of their feelings. Feelings are not Knowledge unless they are based on reason and logic in my opinion. I don’t agree with you that the spiritual realm is a more powerful tool for knowledge. I don’t live that way but I respect others right to do so if they wish.
