A perception that induces people to believe in death instead of in life
But since actual realities exist behind the above-mentioned expressions, the "Evil One", "Hell's punishment", "the children of Satan" and so on, albeit in quite another sense than in that put forward by unkind beings, then individuals who completely deny the existence of these realities, indeed, completely deny the Godhead or everything that may be expressed as superphysical, cannot either be regarded as "high-intellectual" since their denial shows a complete lack of material of experience in the area of feeling. Because of this lack, they live with the perception that the solution to the riddle of life is to be found in weights, measures and vibrations. They are thus absolutely ignorant of their perception's glaring disharmony with reality. If the solution to the riddle of life was to be found in weights, measures and vibrations, only "matter", "substance" or "chemicals" would exist.
      But has one ever seen that matter, a collection of substances or a combination of chemicals can be made to think independently, to calculate or analyse? Can a machine be invented and created without a living "something" that is endowed with the intelligence and knowledge that are prerequisites for the manifestation of the invention? Impossible! Every created thing presupposes a creator. But research that aims at finding the solution to the mystery of life in weights, measures and vibrations cannot possibly be "scientific" in the true sense, since it is based – albeit unconsciously for the individuals concerned – on the perception or view that things can come into existence by themselves, a perception that accepts creation without a creator, a perception that makes matter the highest source of existence, thus inducing people to believe in death instead of in life.
