    I'm only saying we have to walk before we run. I'm only saying that if one
    does not have a normal emotional development, all the higher stages will
    suffer. In other words, to the extect that a person is neurotic, they'll
    have a very hard time with seemingly unrelated cognitive functions like
    logic and rationality, that such cognitve skills require a healthy emotional
    foundation. So I'm not saying that emotions interfere with intellect, per
    se. I'm saying that emotional dysfunction has effects all the way up the
    ladder.

    Aha! So: in order to employ logic and rationality correctly, one must be
    emotionally functional (wise) first? In other words: only the holy can see
    truly?

    I don't know if I'd use the words "wise", "holy" or "truly", but yea. Think
    of Maslow's hierachy of needs. His model is just one specific way to express
    this idea. I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of today's developmental
    psychologists accept some version of the notion.
