This theory involves the belief that the physical world, as seen by the natural sciences, is all that exists.

To go as far as postulating that mind is matter is a mistake вЂ“ this thesis, that mental events equals brain events, is known as вЂњScientific MaterialismвЂќ in the field of philosophy. I believe that wholeheartedly accepting the proposition that there are physical explanations for all mental events is erroneous. The recreational drugs commonly in use these days only reinforce this world-view вЂ“ matter rules mind. As one example, the successful use of anti-depressant drugs for treating bi-polar disorders, and in curing other mental problems, including hyperactivity in some children, has been a testament to the power of chemicals, physical in nature, affecting things of the mind. Of course, this movement towards chemical-based treatments is grounded in some good science. Much of psychology, once known for advocating вЂњthe talking cureвЂќ, has been reduced to a practice of dispensing drugs вЂ“ a branch of pharmacology. By using various chemicals many mental conditions, specifically illnesses, are altered and cured. It is the imbalances of the brainвЂ™s workings that cause mental issues. Most scientists believe that all вЂњmentalвЂќ events are a product of brain chemistry, electronic activity, etc. The logic of Spoke was that mind rules matter.ДЄgainst Spock we have modern science in a rush to prove that within matter we find the riddle of вЂњmindвЂќ. Through mental power you can control your emotions and, quite possibly, your physical body. He advised his fellow crew members to let their mind overcome things of the physical realm.
