The best way to get people lost is to develop their rational ability,

But not their intuitive understanding.

When people are lost in the rational mind anything that can be explained rationally can be sold to them, whether true or not, but the intuitive ability, once awakened cannot be fooled.

People will argue what about religion that applies to the emotions.

Yes, but the intuition and the emotions are two separate things, and emotions are more closely linked to thought, anyway, with intuition being the quiet knowing that can only be sensed when the mind is quiet.

It has nothing to do with rationality or with emotions that disturb our ability to connect with it.
