"But the essence of it for me, is that one side says to "know" is to verify through the best application or reason, evidence, testing, and sensory input. The other side says to truly "know" one must supercede rational models - one must transcend these crude tools we have used to arrive at knowledge (not "Knowledge) and attain a more intuitive and deeper understanding."
this is the only part of your post that I question, songster.You presume that materialist rationalism is science and any other philosophy that embraces eg intuition is not science, but belief. In fact science, or knowledge as it was in the latin, does not suggest this at all. The latest suppositions to explain the physically perceived universe include matrices of parallel existence. intuition is measurable, so is subjectivity!
