What's the difference between material and non material?

[Eric Tarpall]

I'll contemplate this for myself too but I'm curious what you guys think. 

[Shadowraix]

Depends on the lens you are looking through. 

[Marinus]

attachment (to objects, people, ideas, memories, etc.) and non attachment (letting go)? 

[Truth Addict]

On the ultimate level, there's no difference at all. Same exact thing.

On the mainstream level:

Material is anything that can be "quantified" by some scientific measuring tool and broken down to smaller portions and then expressed in theories and/or mathematical equations. So that we can "objectively" test and derive scientific (material) truths from (which happen to be absolutely relative).

Examples: apple, car, bus horn, magnetic field, atoms, electrons, gravity, etc...

Non-material, is what's not the above.

Examples: thoughts, love, fear, God, paranormal abilities, dreams, out-of-body experiences, etc...

As you can see, material requires the confirmation of others (what's called "objectivity") an example of herd mentality, non-material only requires first-person's confirmation. So that's an easier way to answer your question.

[Anton Rogachevski]

No difference, both are concepts.

You may say there's just non-material emptiness which has the potential to manifest as "material", but it's not that simple.
