In which way are you adverse to materials, Cap?

Personally, I find that attachment to the finite, rather than just enjoyment of it, leads to the suffering so many experience. That inability to let go of that which we find pleasant is the issue. Not the "things" themselves, so to speak.

True.

Articles, quotes, and videos in this thread are purely for educational purposes. A lot of people on this planet still believe that they live in a Newtonian clockwork reality made of matter so this is my humble attempt to open their minds.

How someone who knows through HER OWN EXPERIENCE that SHE IS NOT THE BODY and that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT EXIST looks and talks.

Notice the smile, notice the relief, liberating empowerment and understanding such experience can bring, although this is just scratching the surface of true nature of reality and what one really is.

Sleep-dreaming proves we're not our physical bodies.

True. Still, the majority of beings think they are their body.

What is even harder to grasp is that consciousness is not in the body. It is the body that is in consciousness, together with all this what we call the Universe.

And what is really a tough nut to crack, impossible without direct experience, is that mind and ego are as much illusory as the body and this whole reality. So, to put simply, there is no person inhabiting a body.

And still, there is underlying beingness/nothingness (there is really no right word for this) that encompasses everything and can be experienced as one's own true nature/being.

The elites have socialist capitalism
while the working class have trickle down economics.
Markets are propped up
by taxpayer-funded government giveaways for big money elites.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country burns.
