constant escape
winter withered, warm
Science is fundamentally hermetic, with only certain narrow and heavy guarded gauntlets that administer the influx of information. We need to be familiar with the gauntlets, the inlets into the Empire of Fact.
Oh I see, like fascism is almost definitively close-minded, bolstering this one people at the expense of others, etc, whereas psychedelics are supposed to neutralize such boundaries. Admittedly I'm not familiar with the science there, but gnostically that dichotomy makes sense, and this a psychedelic fascism would be paradoxical and likely out of the ordinary.Just that with a surface reading, the fact psychedelia seemingly sits comfortably with fascism somewhat confuses claims of any neuro chemical moralistic links ie tripping makes you a better person
I tend to think of gnosis and science as the yang and yin of knowledge, seeing as both words can translate to knowledge.Does gnosis just mean the opposite of agnostic or is it something else? What would the opposite of agnostic be, that you are definitely either theist or atheist, but you believe it for definite one way or the other. So is that gnosis? That you are thiest or atheist.
Sorry, I know I could look it up and probably should but I like the lads to explain as well.
If I get what you're getting at, then yeah I'd say there is a meaningful correlation there. I tend to frame these kind of correlations, and say archetypally informed knowledge, within gnosis. Arguably metaphor is the basis the gnosis, methodologically. Feeling out the abstract parallels between situations, relations, etc.Cheers boys. So would the dualities of conscious : subconscious map to
Science : Gnosis in this case.
I think probably yes?
I'd say as the two poles of, what, scientism and fanaticism? Where drifting too close to one seems to make a return less likely.Yeah it's scylla and charybdis again amirite
