(noun) /ˈsīəns/ – from “psych” + “sense” A system of knowledge that influences or manipulates the senses and perceptions of reality, often under the guise of truth. Unlike traditional science, which seeks to understand, psyence is the illusion of understanding—knowledge constructed to psych, seduce, or suppress the intuitive senses. Origin: Coined by Joshua J. Horton in S.H.E. (Serenity Healing Eternal) book 1, to describe the subtle dissonance between natural knowing and programmed perception.
