We live entranced by a materialistic spell, deluding us into believing the physical world comprises all of existence. From birth, we’re indoctrinated with a dogma asserting reality begins with matter and ends with our finite lives. Any notion of grander metaphysical forces or the eternal soul is dismissed as mere fantasy. Yet this reductive worldview results from heedlessly imbibing assumptions while failing to deeply ponder our cosmic origins and spellbinding consciousness. To awaken from this materialistic trance, we must bravely scrutinize its intellectual premises through the light of rigorous reflection. As we flex our philosophers’ minds, the ephemeral veil dissolves to reveal the unmistakable hallmarks of a supreme immaterial Reality that preceded space and time. Our existence screams out its Divine authorship – if we’d only break the spell’s hypnotic grip.
