Embodied existence in the material world is necessary for God's purposes, so most of the time people should experience material reality rather than spiritual transcendence, but spiritual experiences reveal the inadequacy of materialism.

“it's a it's a world that you're supposed to be in, right? You're supposed to be in this world. Whatever whatever God is up to doesn't work if we're not in this world most of the time. And having a spiritual experience is getting our mind a little bit out of this material world. But it's not the way things are supposed to work all the time”
