Paul Ricoeur

Spirit vibrated into matter; hence, both Spirit and matter exist. Matter, however, does not exist in the way that it appears to us. It exists as we see it owing to the delusive force of maya, which makes the indivisible Spirit seem finite and divisible to all appearances. Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert.
Paramahansa Yogananda

What has become alien to men is the human component of culture,
its closest part,
which upholds them against the world.
They make common cause with the world against themselves,
and the most alienated condition of all,
the omnipresence of commodities,
their own conversion into appendages of machinery,
is for them a mirage of closeness.
Theodor Adorno
