Alexa, Plato believed that most everyone lives in a cave and experience only the shadows of the world of reality. I think he believed it was possible to come out of the shadows of the cave into the brilliant light of true being. Belief is by its very nature neither rational or irrational. It is belief as opposed to knowledge. The belief may not be consistent with experiential reality. On the other hand the belief may not reference experiential reality at all. If you experience the reality of the ideals as they are expressed in the "real" world then you are no longer dealing with the disembodied archetypal ideas.
