Because the materialist philosophy is based on the only knowledge that human beings can obtain via their five senses - the knowledge of matter - it is not a true philosophy but one of appearances. Appearances are obviously real, but they do not show us all of reality, and we shouldn't be taken in by them.
Appearances act as a starting point for further reflection. They can be compared to Ariadne's thread, which we must follow if we are to find our way back through the labyrinth and out finally into the open air, into the light of the spirit.
We need to work with appearances but not stop there. Those who allow themselves to be seduced by appearances face spiritual death and are devoured by the minotaur.
-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
