But there are even Christian warnings about the soul, spirit. And even the heart: "deceitful above all things."
Often when the spirit prays, Paul warned, the mind is unfruitful.
So nice as inner feelings may be, they are not entirely reliable.
For that reason, I like logic, reason, science, data, education. Added to, modifying, feelings.

When music represents what you have come to know through logic, there is beauty.
