If you restrict your conceptions to materialistic casualty, assuming your thoughts are the last link in a chain of complex gland secretions that occur behind your skull and eyes, and nothing further... they you truly are lost. But if you hold to the metaphysical viewpoint (a branch of philosophy concerned with abstract thought on subjects such as existence, causality, and ultimate truth), then we may go further here. Each judgment of a fact is reduced or enlarged by rationalizations, or what we want to believe as true, this is the filter we use. In probing further, we must ask why this is so. What psychological motivators are at work within us when the naturalistic viewpoint is temporarily suspended for the teleological principle of causation (the philosophical doctrine that states causes, design, and purpose exist in nature)? Is there a "something" pressing in on your "free-will"? How does your mind then find a way to be truly open? Why is the term “open-minded” always exclusively used to encourage people to consider worldly materialistic dogma? In today's climate, shouldn't it be the other way around? After a confrontation with perceptions of understanding that have contrary and weighty evidential credibility, if your way of thinking reveals what seems a fatal philosophical defect, what then? Could it be that your naturalist, materialist viewpoints are incorrect or at best insufficient? Be open-minded and think.
