IS WOO-WOO REAL?
GNOSTIC REALISM
The "knowledge of spiritual mysteries" that gnosis refers to is a pragmatic explanation for emergent pattern recognition (EPR).
EPR is a human's ability to intuitively recognize irreducible, emergent patterns.
Insights from EPR are hard to express within the constraints of finite language and reductionist science.

From this perspective, what is often called spiritual insight is simply a human capacity to recognize complex, emergent phenomena in ways that defy conventional explanation.
The lesson that humanity seems to keep forgetting is that a lack of an explanation isn't a lack of value- it just creates more of a headache for those who dictate their lives via perceptions of control.

Humanity currently operates within a reduced reality as mandated by a reductionist & retributive legal system ruled by corporate oligarchy.
The foundation of how our society operates makes what can be defined and empirically proven exponentially more important than anything that must be intuitively inferred.
Humans are intuitive creatures and our understanding exponentially exceeds our reduced knowledge. Reductionism based realism has discredited reality and dismisses any arguments that point out its blind spots.

CONTEXTUALLY PRAGMATIC
By acknowledging human intuition as the common thread between mystical explanations and what can now be described as emergent pattern recognition (EPR), we can use each contextually.

By acknowledging human intuition as the common thread between mystical explanations and what can now be described as emergent pattern recognition (EPR), we can use each contextually.
Traditional mystical and spiritual explanations aren't things that need to be "disproven" by science, but instead serve as a guiding star for our emergent pattern recognition.
Any insights can still be teased into falsifiable claims for empirical testing.
EXPLORING GNOSTIC REALISM
EMERGENT PATTERN RECOGNITION (EPR)
Gnostic realism is the belief that spiritual insights are the fruits of advanced emergent pattern recognition (EPR) and expressing infinite complexities via constrained languages and frameworks.
This doesn't necessarily validate spiritual interpretations as much as it explains their existence as primitive explanations of real phenomena.
SUBCOGNOSIS
A substantial amount of emergent pattern recognition occurs subconsciously in order to even provide us with a conscious experience.
Subcognosis refers to the insights that we take for granted as "obvious" or "common sense" but are really from subconscious EMR that hasn't been empirically tested.
COMPROMISING OBJECTIVITY
When assessing the viability of conjectures, observing phenomena, and drawing conclusions, scientists may unknowingly rely on subcognostic insights.
By obscuring these underlying biases, subcognosis leads science to become a tool that inherently favors reinforcing current paradigms over the genuine pursuit of the best available truth.
