What’s the relationship between Western science and occult insight?

[axelbennett]

Understand this relationship with the book “The Snake and the Rope”
which emphasizes that at the root of the physical universe is
Consciousness or Mind – hence efforts to detect such a reality by
purely physical means will never be successful.

The author is highly critical of the onesidedness of a purely
quantitative approach, and of the ways in which scientism castigates
those who do not follow its dictates.

He is a very clearly aware of the intrinsic limitations of modern
science as an approach based on quantification and which does not have
a coherent account of the subjective nature of consciousness.

He shows how the mind is used within this structure of argument
effectively to deny itself, and draws attention to the importance of
presuppositions, criticising, for instance, the assumption that
realism can be equated with reality.
