The Primacy of Consciousness: The Starting Point of Reality
Consciousness is at the core of existence. With the famous phrase “I think, therefore I am,” the fundamental importance of thoughts and the world of consciousness is highlighted. Everything we experience is shaped by our own thinking and imagination. Objectivity remains a theoretical assumption since all perception is subjective and filtered through consciousness.
Critique of Materialism and New Perspectives
Materialism holds that there is an absolute reality independent of consciousness. However, this view is increasingly questioned. On the one hand, contradictions within materialism reveal its limitations; on the other hand, scientific discoveries, such as those in quantum physics, offer new approaches. Phenomena like observer dependence show that reality does not exist independently of consciousness. Instead, the mind actively shapes the world as we perceive it.
Spiritual experiences and ancient wisdom teachings emphasize the power of the mind to influence reality. Examples such as near-death experiences or meditation illustrate the profound power of thought, which transcends the boundaries of materialism.
The Seven Principles of Spirealism
1. Primacy of Consciousness: Thoughts are the source of existence.
2. No Absolute Reality: There is no independent reality outside the mind.
3. Relativity of Things: Everything that exists is created by consciousness.
4. Limitations of Materialism: The assumption of an objective reality leads to logical contradictions.
5. Quantum Physics and the Mind: Scientific discoveries show that observations influence existence.
6. Spiritual Insight: Experiences such as enlightenment and near-death experiences demonstrate the power of the mind.
7. New Models of the Universe: Concepts like parallel universes and the relativity of time and space can be explained through this perspective.
Leaving Familiar Thought Patterns Behind
Shifting from a materialistic to a consciousness-centered worldview is a challenge. Limited mental frameworks and deeply rooted thought patterns make it difficult to question the familiar understanding of reality. Nevertheless, Spirealism offers a radical approach that unites both science and spirituality. The gravity of thought shows that the mind is not entirely free—but with new perspectives, this boundary can be expanded.
