I think I know where you are coming from when you say this, and no doubt some are tangled in words more than their meanings. But I must say that for some a certain amount of linguistic exuberance/indulgence is as natural as whistling a tune. For some, the word "transrational" is suspicious. I feel that the hyper-rational is as good a path, as long as a person ends up joyful rather than tormented. I offer this with respect as a can of Coke to set beside your can of Pepsi.
I love that Beatle's song/album. Now I must mention Harvest by Neil Young.

Ah, but are you fooling yourself when you say this?

And as it is so hard to observe the self objectlessly we must come to the conclusion understanding others is the best way to quickly come to understand ourselves and become truly objective.
This is deep. I agree. We find ourselves in others and others in ourselves. All this man-is-an-island is just snakes on a plane. (Felt right to put it that way instead of sh*t on a stick.)
