The Reality that Materialists are Afraid to Understand

In light of this extraordinary and exciting knowledge, consider
that all the material things you know in this world—your house and
belongings, spouse and children, your parents and colleagues—are
perceived as images that occur in the darkness of your brain. Has it
ever occurred to you that you are fixed to an image that occurs in
your brain, you can never see the outside, you can see the things
listed above only in your brain and you can never get outside this

would have to throw aside all the principles and goals on which
they’ve based their lives. Angered by this great miracle, they have re-
sorted to many methods to attack it and made irrational claims to ob-
fuscate the facts. Some materialists pound tables with their fists or
kick walls to convince themselves that matter is not a perception.
Other materialists may claim that a bus hitting someone is no mere

the “actual” bus. Again, all the sensations of the blow are perceived
in the darkness of the brain, by the human spirit.

The Huge Trap into Which Materialists Have Fallen

Materialist philosophy has always existed throughout history.
Very assured of themselves, materialists revolted against God Who
created them and maintained that since matter had no beginning nor
end, it couldn’t possibly have been created. Denying God out of their
arrogance, they took refuge in matter which they held to have the
only “real” existence. So confident were they in their arrogance and
denial that they believed that no argument put forth could ever dis-
prove it. That’s why the facts regarding the real nature of matter sur-
prised them so much. Suddenly it destroyed the very basis of their
philosophy—matter, on which they based all their lives—and left no
