As an explanation of the world, materialism has a sort of insane simplicity. It has the quality of the madman’s argument: we have at once the sense of if covering everything and the sense of it leaving everything out.
What a mysterious world we live in. Full of meaning we’ve found and so much more we haven’t found yet. Full of countless things we do understand and so much more that we don’t understand yet.
To assume that the only things that exist are the things you can directly see, measure, detect and explain is not only small minded and unreasonable…but it’s boring!

Great quote!
It’s only our small-minded Western culture that attempts to constrain reality into the tiny box of materialism. The rest of the world has no problem acknowledging the existance of the spiritual realm.
Why are we, as a culture, so determined to ignore the greater reality?
