For most people today, materialism is the most popular lens through which they view reality. However, this worldview ignores the important part that consciousness plays in how we perceive and experience reality. This book seeks to change this by pointing out the inconsistencies of materialism, while presenting a new vision of reality that the author calls the spiritual worldview. This alternate 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. These include the "observation problem" and nonlocality of the quantum realm; the connection between space and time in Einstein's theory of relativity; and paranormal phenomena. Other mysteries concerning a collective mind, evolution, animal instincts, and animal homing behavior are also explained from the point of view of spiritual ideology. Dr. Richheimer also 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.
