t is obvious to me that if we human beings think and have a mind, it is because what created this world also has a mind, but on a much higher level

than ours.

Why is life as it is? Why the world of the mind? Its not a "physical"(concept invented by the human mind ... atoms don't even exist, there isn't a minimum physical unit, they don't even know what the fuck those electrons are and all that stuff, only thing they know is to manipulate these shit to a certain degree to get certain effects) thing.

Why are we able to see this reality of things? "a, but your perceptions of things are full of flaws"
There are so many flaws that I can even realize that there are flaws ?? I think we do have good access to the outside world as it is.

Folks will never "know" nature, the most that can be done and what has been done is to discover patterns and manipulate them technically.
You can't know what you have not made. JFL at these modern scientists "philosophy".

The human being has access to the outside world and can observe how the whole nature articulates. No other animal species has this ability, for example. All of this only makes sense in the human intellect. Now, does that only exist in our mind? I don't think so. I think God, this thing that has this bigger mind did that and allows human beings to see it.
 
I want to add that just as human sight is limited, so are our brains.

Also God is not a thing, andGod has a face, and only the righteous will see it, then they will forget whatever other blessing they had in paradise.
 

From the earliest Greek philosophy, of which European philosophy is but a continuation, the philosopher has had to contend with the question: how is reality known? The answer is given from two principal viewpoints, the materialist and the idealist. The materialist method stands at one pole, the idealist at the other.

The distinctive features enabling us to recognise a materialist thinker can be summarised as follows:

1. The Basic proposition of materialism refers to the nature of reality regardless of the existence of humankind. It states that matter is first in order. When the earth was still a flaming sphere, resembling the sun today, before it cooled there was no life on its surface, no thinking creature of any kind. First we had matter incapable of thought, out of which developed thinking matter, humans.

2. The second aspect of materialism covers the relations between matter and mind. If what we have said above is the case — and we know it is from natural science — mind does not appear until we already have matter organised in a certain manner. The human brain, a part of the human organism, thinks. And the human organism is matter organised in a highly intricate form.

3. It is clear from the above why matter may exist without mind, while mind may not exist without matter. Matter existed before the appearance of any kind of mind on the earth’s surface. Matter existed before the appearance of a thinking human. In other words, matter exists objectively, independently of mind. Mind is a special property of matter organised in a special manner.

What are the distinctive features of idealism?

1. The basic element of reality to the idealist is mind, or spirit. Everything else comes from mind or spirit and depends upon its operation.

2. Mind or spirit exists before and apart from matter. Spirit is the abiding reality; matter no more than a passing phase, or illusion.

3. Mind or spirit is identical with, or emanates from, the divine, or at least leaves open the possibility of supernatural existence, power and interference.

4. From this it can be seen that idealism is a diluted form of the religious conception, according to which a divine mysterious power is placed above nature, the human consciousness being considered a tiny spark emanating from this divine power, and the human a creature chosen by god. The number of absurdities associated with idealism; such views as deny the external world, ie, the existence of things objectively, independent of the human consciousness, will be brought to the notice of students later in this course: it will be seen that the extreme and most consistent form of idealism leads to the height of absurdity in the so-called solipsism (Latin solus, alone, only; ipse, self). In a word, nothing exists outside myself, there is only my ego, my consciousness, my mental existence; there is no external world apart from me; it is simply a creature of my mind. For I am aware only of my internal life, from which I have no means of escaping.

Thus, it must be noted that the basic propositions of these two types of thought are absolutely opposed to each other. One must be right, the other wrong. Whoever maintains consistently the position of one is inescapably led to conclusions exactly contrary to the other.

Nice copy and paste

I want to add that just as human sight is limited, so are our brains.

Also God is not a thing, andGod has a face, and only the righteous will see it, then they will forget whatever other blessing they had in paradise.
we are so limited that que can perceive we are limited. Does It come from our limitation?
 
We don't even know if all of this is real.
