What does "rationality doesn’t even come into it" mean in this paragraph?
I am reading a book called Advanced magic. In this book, the author said that I should look for evidence to rainforces the believe that I have the Magic Power to manifest my dream, and should explain away all the evidence that goes against that. Then the author wrote:
"Of course, when trying to cultivate a belief, you almost always experience evidence that opposes it. Your job is to ignore or explain away all evidence that contradicts your belief, and exaggerate and focus on all the evidence that it is true. When things don’t seem to be turning out right, find a way, any way, to see them either as positive evidence or as stepping-stones to something greater.
But that’s irrational!
In my opinion, rational thought is hugely over-rated! How much Magic, inspiration, creativity, and stuff of immeasurable value has been wasted and lost in the name of rationality.
The truth is, rationality doesn’t even come into it. It is not evidence that contradicts the existence of Magic; it is your reaction to that apparent ‘evidence’ that makes Magic real or not for you".

Now i'm reading a book named "What if this is heaven". In the book there a paragraph like this:
"“Basically, when I feel confused and overwhelmed with information, I don’t go looking for more of it. I just kind of let the information I already have settle. I cannot un-know any of the information I already have, of course, so I just let it be without specifically focusing on any of it.”

What does the writer mean in this paragraph?
I'm reading a book called Dying to be me, and saw a paragraph like this:
"I’VE NOW WELL AND TRULY LEARNED THAT when I become centered—when I realize my place at the heart of the universe and feel my magnificence and my connection to all that is—time and distance become irrelevant. If you’ve ever been in a deep sleep and involved in an intricate dream that culminates in the ringing of a doorbell or phone, and you suddenly awaken to find your doorbell or phone actually ringing, then you’ve experienced timelessness. Even though the device only started going off a few seconds prior to your waking up, it feels as though the entire drama of your dream revolved around that final moment. This is what life becomes like when you truly realize that you’re one with everything. Time and space lose all significance."
I don't understand the example " If you’ve ever been.... final moment" that the writer wrote to show "This is what ....significance." Why does the write write that? Thank you!

This is all part of her parents’ master plan for her future — become a doctor, marry a preapproved Taiwanese Ivy Leaguer, and produce a litter of babies. But Mei has to face some harsh truths. Like that she hates germs and biology lectures, that she doesn’t want to give up her passion for dancing, and that she definitely has a crush on her classmate Darren Takahashi — who is decidedly not Taiwanese."

What does “structural tension” mean in this paragraph?
I'm reading a book called "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life". In the chapter about enthusiasm there is a paragraph as follows:
Enthusiasm mans there is deep enjoyment in what you do plus the added element of a goal or a vision that you work toward. When you add a goal to the enjoyment of what you do, the energyfield or vibrational frequency changes. A certain degree of what we might call structural tension is now added to enjoyment, and so it turns into enthusiasm. {...} To an onlooker, it may appear that you are under stress, but the intensity of enthusiasm has nothing to do with stress. When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed. The balance between enjoyment and structural tension is lost, and the latter has won.
I understand "structural" and "tension", but i can't understand "structural tension" in this paragraph. Does it mean "a goal to the enjoyment of what you do"? Can you help me to understand it?

The writer write that "you have an early morning flight and need to be awakened by 4:00 a.m.[...]You crawl into bed you are telling yourself how important it is to get up at four.

You know it is much earlier than you normally wake up because it is still dark, you roll over on your side to look at your digital clock which reads 3:59 a.m. You reach over to turn off the alarm just as the clock moves to 4:00" and he concluded "The subconscious never sleeps. The subconscious contains all monitor circuits". Can you help me to understand the meaning of "all monitor circuits" in this sentence? Thank!
