All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.

What does Postmaterialism mean?
Materialism refers to assumptions about the nature of reality. In science it is expressed in terms of mathematical theories and experimental tests of concepts like matter, energy, space and time. Pre-materialism refers to pre-scientific history, when reality was understood solely in terms of supernatural or religious concepts. The prefix “post” in post-materialism refers to the next development in our understanding of reality. Post-materialism refers to the hypothesis of consciousness as a fundamental component of reality. Post-materialism is gaining support from an increasing number of scientists and scholars who have come to believe that a solely material approach (where “material” is understood in today’s terms) is insufficient to gain a comprehensive understanding of reality.
