In the predominant thinking of todays scientific world matter came before mind, regarding mind almost as an accident of matter or in best case an offspring evolved out of matter, but inessential and unimportant compared to matter.
On the other hand in a mind-before-matter belief the connection between mind and matter would be much more intimate. It is a living, dynamic connection. Not only did matter emerge from a cosmic mind, but it was even created in order to provide the conditions in which the human mind would be possible. Everything in the universe is alive and conscious to some degree, responding sensitively and intelligently to our deepest, sublest needs.
