Spiritual Corporeal

In the minds of some strangely motivated persons, if science shows that some aspect of the mind corresponds with what is known as spiritual or the 'God' concept, then this apparently is a moment of great proof that the spiritual doesn't exist. The existence of something is the proof that it doesn't exist!
What kind of materialists are these? These people think they exist, without degrading delusion, within the world of matter, but the entire substance of this 'materialism' is to be an idea, and so these people are idealists, which they are then imposing upon the world. That they are in fact completely alienated from 'external' life or matter and specifially the life of their own bodies is shown by their bizarre notion that if the 'spiritual' can be shown to be an aspect of the mind-body organism, then this is proof that it doesn't exist. So for them to be a part of the world of matter, and especially the body, is to be sufficient to be explained away as esentially non-existent. The body is an embarrassment and counts for nothing. So what are they left with? They seem to want to exist within some kind of void, which is to say, not to exist at all, for apparently if something exists this is proof it doesn't exist.
The spiritual and material properly understood are identical- and are in fact both simply ideas, falsely segmenting life- whereas these materialists are alien to all life, lost within the parameters of a senseless idea whose entire essence is the desire to negate.
