is a mere inference, whereas the psyche is existence itself, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.

Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical. . . We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses. Carl Jung

is energy whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.

Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.

is contrasted with mind in that while mind is entirely independent form all else, matter is inextricably linked with all else. In the case of matter, in everything there is a share of everything.

is not real. The field is the only reality.

There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field in the only reality.

Aristotle also interprets matter and form as potentiality and actuality.

is that stuff in the phenomenon which corresponds to the sensation.

The effect of an object upon the faculty of representation, so far as we are affected by the said object, is sensation. That sort of intuition which relates to an object by means of sensation is called an empirical intuition. The undetermined object of an empirical intuition is called phenomenon. That which in the phenomenon corresponds to the sensation, I term its matter... but that which effects that the content of the phenomenon can be arranged under certain relations, I call its form. But that in which our sensations are merely arranged, and by which they are susceptible of assuming a certain form, cannot be itself sensation. It is, then, the matter of all phenomena that is given to us a posteriori... the form must lie ready a priori for them in the mind, and consequently can be regarded separately from all sensation.
