Take it easy with the "knowing stuff", trust me. These are powerful substances you are messing with, regardless of how many times you were revealed some deep, mystical truth. It's important to stay humble and keep in mind what you are actually using these substances for. If you're doing it to discover knowledge and learn things about the universe, there are better ways to do that, like cracking open a science text book.
I think the best knowledge you can gain is wisdom, and a deeper understanding of consciousness and the human experience. These are the things spice taught/showed me, and it led to a positive change in my life.
Its funny you mention science books, because the perspective seen through spice was beyond all rationale. It is beyond the eye of science. I also experienced a change in my life because everything I knew was destroyed. Destroyed in the sense that well.. spice cannot be comprehended but experienced.
These are two different magisteriums, we can learn a lot about the physical nature of spice through science(chemistry etc.), but we can not understand the spice "trip" through science. I agree on that.
But the flip side is true as well, Spice can not give us scientific knowledge of the universe. It is pointless to try to learn about the universe in that way.
My point being, keep the two separate.
It is not black and white either. Though spice is more intuitive, and science is more technical, trying to find how they relate may be quite interesting. I would say its not pointless, but it is more for the self and not for"truth." Or for your personal truth.
I agree they may relate in some aspects but you cannot equate things you see in the spice realm to be science.
They aren't, this isn't a matter of semantics, science requires a hypothesis, observations made upon that hypothesis, and eventually testing and review by other scientists. When this process is repeated enough times, you get a theory.
Spice provides observations, but they are internal and cannot be externalized(spice trip is different for everyone). Furthermore, supernatural explanations for anything aren't valid in science. You may be able to "prove' knowledge to yourself that you gained during a spice trip. But you will never, be able to extend that knowledge to the external world like you can do with science.
You can try to argue with me on this but you won't succeed. They really are 2 seperate fields, and for a thorough understanding of the universe you should try and keep the ideas seperate in your mind. For some it helps to think of spice as a spiritual realm. I simply don't think of it anyway as I don't fully understand what is going on in a spice trip, and I don't fool myself into thinking that I have any clue what hyperspace is.
But hey, to each their own.
