"This magnificent work is sweeping in scope and inspirational in its message -- a powerful, much-needed document for our time." -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Why Our Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters.For people today, materialism is the most common lens through which they view reality. This is despite the fact that there is overwhelming scientific evidence that disproves this morbid worldview. The evidence includes the important part that consciousness plays in how we perceive and experience reality; the “observation problem” and nonlocality of the quantum realm; the connection between space and time in Einstein’s theory of relativity; and the fact that paranormal phenomena such as ESP, mystical experiences, near-death experiences, and reincarnation memories are fundamental aspects of human experience. In this book, Dr. Richheimer presents an alternate vision of reality that he calls the spiritual worldview. This model of reality portrays creation as cyclical in nature--beginning and ending with cosmic consciousness. It offers a logical, scientifically sound explanation for phenomena that materialism fails to explain or attempts to deny. In addition, the author explores why scientists find it difficult to reject materialism, and how the adoption of the materialist worldview by most scientists and intellectuals is a root cause of many of society’s problems.
An interesting, must-read book “The fallacy of materialism: how consciousness creates the Material world and Why it matters” turned out to be a thought-provoking and eye-opening book penned by Steven Richheimer. In this work, he states that there are two different ways of seeing or interpreting reality, which is through the materialist and spiritual worldwide. The latter is the ideal option to people. To my mind, having a spiritual outlook helps a lot to understand and empathize with other individuals. It is a well-explained and easy to understand book. Each chapter deals with a specific topic that is backed up with examples. With this book I learned a lot of ideas that are necessary in life. It´s concise, interesting, and I truly recommended.
In this eye-opening and intellectually stimulating book, our ways of looking at materialism and how we perceive things change right after finishing the last page. It is a beautiful and magical book that puts emphasis on how we perceive and experience reality. The meaning of life and death is revisited by author Richheime, who has crafted this book in a great manner, and he reveals entirely fresh ways of considering the values and beliefs of materialists. The Fallacy of Materialism is a necessary book to understand how spiritual connections work in our minds when dealing with materialism. I’m very happy for having chosen this book out of the array of narratives related to the topic. All in all, it is a good-quality piece of literature that would interest any type of reader.
Very well written. Convincing. This book is not an easy read for the lay person but, as a whole, the ideas expressed therein deeply resonated with me as a spiritual seeker.
