I've just spent some fair time reading and contemplating Chana's blog entry Surrendering Our Minds To God.
See there for her blog entry, and see the comments there for my thoughts thereon.

2) Suspending our intellect when it comes to G-d's command, and doing as He commands, despite our rationality's protest.
I adduce more sources to support what she says regarding (1), but I completely reject (2), providing my thoughts on why.
