Episode notes

- Accessing it may require transcending ordinary empirical perspective through intellectual purification.

- Noesis is a higher, receptive form of intellect distinct from discursive reasoning (dianoia).
- Revelation and metaphysics meet: revelation descends while metaphysics ascends to recognize it.
