What we're taught about the nature of matter and space is pretty much the opposite of the truth. Space is presented as void (absence) in mainstream physics whereas matter is presented as "presence", as "something", some density at least. But, in occultism the opposite is taught/believed: space is actually infinite density -- that's the reason you can move through it -- there is no "space" between space, i.e. no gap in space, it's infinitely dense. Matter on the other hand is absence, it is "the void", the "hole in space" that ancient myths depicited as being carved out of space with knives or thunderbolts (i.e. thor's thunderbolts and also the knives of ... ancient amerindians I believe). The way you can tell that matter is actually a hole or perforation in space is because you can't move through it -- it is obstruction pure and simple.
If you draw a 2-D simplification of our world on a piece of paper (just draw a big rectangle) -- and within the 2-D world, draw a circle to represent a 2-D simplified being. Draw a line next to the circle and imagine what that "being" will see when it encounters that line in the 2-D world. It will see nothing but an obstruction -- a hole moving from the top of it's world to the bottom (except there is not top or bottom because it's a flat world). Matter is the exact same thing, except in a 3-D world -- it is a perforation in 3-D space (coming, therefore, from a fourth dimension; this very phenomenon is depicted in Star Trek TNG episodes, esp. early seasons -- that show had some very gnostic themes hidden behind the veil of symbolism).
The only reason matter has color, texture, or has any qualities whatsoever that make it accesible to perception is because all matter is impregnated with spirit. Matter that is not impregnated with spirit is simply like a hole in space that has, like most holes, a "drawing in" capacity, and some spirits (like us) fall into it (the fall of man, the original sin) -- finding afterwards that it's impossible to get out of it! The Greeks associated matter symbolically as water, in some analogies at least, and Heraclitus said -- "The dry soul is the wisest." Spirits that get caught in the "hole" must go through evolution in order to finally fully reemerge into the spirit world. This is depicted in the movie "slumdog millionaire" in the first "incarnation" (the first flashback of the movie) when jamal, as a child, falls into the waste pit of the outhouse and is covered from head to foot in sewage, which symbolically is pure matter, which is pure inertia and abbhorent to spirit which is pure motion.
Why am I mentioning all this?
All this to say that the entire purpose of life and evolution is for spirit to fully "redeem" matter (the fallen one) by not only impregnating it, but, through the various steps of evolution, to totally spiritualize it. Only humans have the capacity to totally spiritualize matter -- locked within the base of the spine lies the evolutionary energy -- the serpent power or kundalini -- that, once unleashed, travels up the sushumna nadi (the 6th ventricle of the spinal cord), activating the pituitary body which then sends its "wave-like" energy towards the pineal body and reopens the gate to the spirit world. I don't really recommend premature opening of the pineal gland via LSD or other drugs -- the only way to achieve "nature's end" is to live your many, many lives and pay your karmic debt in full -- once the debt is paid, your sushumna nadi naturally reaches a state of purity, enough for your kundalini power to rise of it's own accord. Along the way of it's rising, NB, it interacts with the peripheral nadi (the ida and pingala) to actually effect a reversal of the direction of spin of every one of your seven major chakras. It is that reversal of direction that, I believe, gives the adepts much of their superphysical powers. Drugs can't pay karmic debt, they can't cause kundalini to rise, and they certainly can't reverse the direction of the spin of the chakras.
The total spiritualization of matter was talked about among Buddhists as the "splitting of the atom" -- yes, they conjectured on atoms just like the Greeks did. For the Buddhists this was the end of all evolution -- the day that matter actually was fully redeemed by coming completely and totally under the jurisdiction of spirit -- in such a way that there was no longer a distinction.
