Yes, I read Engels's Marx yesterday... I woke up today with a clear, simple, easy-to-understand denial of materialism. In the waking state it was no longer as clear as in the dream, but something still remained. Namely, that materialists must accept that the Creator made an error in explaining why matter arranged itself in such a way as to form separate beings, of which I am the first, and with such attributes as the senses and the mind. For the non-materialist it is clear that everything I call the material world is the product of my "I". For him the main secret is the separation of me and beings.

"Da, am citit ieri despre Marx al lui Engels... M-am trezit azi din somn cu o negare a materialismului clară, simplă, ușor de înțeles pentru toți. În stare de veghe nu mai era la fel de limpede ca în vis, dar ceva tot a rămas. Si anume că materialiștii trebuie să accepte că Ziditorul a comis o eroare pentru a explica de ce materia s-a rânduit astfel încât să formeze ființe separate, dintre care primul sunt eu, și cu asemenea însușiri cum sunt simțurile și mintea. Pentru nematerialist e limpede ca tot ce numesc lume materială este produsul „eului“ meu. Pentru el taina principală e separarea mea și a ființelor."
