Vestigial Materialism
From The Spirit Wiki
Vestigial Materialism is materialism which lingers in the scientific, religious, and spiritual communities of this world long past the point where its adoption is supported either by empirical evidence or internal experience.
In all cases, Vestigial Materialism can be (and should be) considered a Spiritual Pathology or blockage. Pathological clinging to materialist philosophies most often occurs as function of a damaged or unbalanced Crown Chakra. That is, Vestigial Materialism occurs when the brain is either limited to an intellectual understanding of spiritual principles and realities, or when the left hemisphere is damaged and actively rejects the insights or experiences of the right hemisphere of the brain.
Vestigial Materialism is a terminal condition. As long as individuals continue to place causal primary on the material world, aging and death will occur. However, as enough individuals awaken, put aside duality, and shift their understanding from primitive materialism, the "limitations" of physical matter will be rapidly overcome.
