If rocks aren't real make a rock disappear.

I am not into scientism.
I accept the scientific method, but not every claim made by scientist or people who claim to use the scientific method is credible or has a lot of weight according to evidence.
So I am critical of claims that material stuff turns into waves, because no one ever could demonstrate it by f.e. turning a rock into a wave.

Thanks for this clarification.
I can play with the idea of a spiritual realm existing, but that wouldn't make our physical reality any less real, let alone "fake and gay".
> You ask for “proof” etc.
That is not a bad thing in a world full of fairy tales and lies, psychological manipulation, gaslighting and self delusion. So yes I am asking for proof.
>according to gnostic thinking you cannot use the imperfect material creation of the demiurge, the body, the brain, to understand the infinite and eternal realm of the Spirit.
how convenient.
Ok, well if our biology makes us irrecoverable blind to those spiritual truths than what is there to discuss about gnosticism anyway? We can't understand a think about it as long as we live, according to "gnostic thinking".
Also where does that "gnostic thinking" come from and how can it be truthful, if no one ever living could understand that?
>You must awaken the Spirit and use the faculties of the Spirit to do this.
I think my spirit is pretty awake, or what do you mean?
>Gnostics believe that some people simply do not have their “divine spark”
So if I pretend to see a spirit which gives me secret teachings and I tell anyone who doesn't believe me or my proclamations that they just lack the divine spark (the spirit told me that) and if people ask me for proof and I don't give em any, wouldn't I be just like those Gnostics you described?
