Is mind or matter the primary reality?


Are the patterns we see
manifested in the bodies we observe
purely an effect of mind?


Up until now the prevailing thought among many (physical) scientists is that the material they see in their test tubes is the primary substance, the thing which gives birth to life.

However, spiritual scientists see the visual image of living matter as the effect of mind. Mind is seen as the invisible mover, the actual life that is behind the forms we see and the functioning thereof.

The experience of most people is that they are primarily MIND and that the body is a tool at their disposal to function in this reality.  This is the inverse of the view of scientific materialists who see MATTER as the primary reality and mind as an unexplained consequence of the functioning of matter.
