Opposite point of view. An invisible spiritual cause lies behind every material motion. Material is subordinate to the mind. Everything has inner life. Matter is all that there is.
Mind is to the nervous system as rotation is to the wheel.
Any mechanical motion results in some kind of inner experience. All particles possess a bit of inner life, even atoms are conscious. Reductive Materialism resembles animists, but consciousness is purely mechanical property that we lack the tools to measure. Mind is the fundamental substance of the world. Experience is mental in character.
