Self knowledge

If knowledge can be obtained (an unprovable metaphysical assumption, and one that I hold) then whether through the senses, intuition, or reasoning, all knowledge must come through our personal experience of ourselves—meaning— the very first thing we must know, through which all other things may be known, is the existence of our mental, spiritual selves. Even knowledge of our bodies is secondary to that.

The typical modern, materialist, faithful believer in scientism, holds these same natural assumptions despite it's seeming conflict with their conclusion that our consciousness is merely a byproduct of stuff-doing-things. They believe that through their personal experience they have interacted with a material world, and thus have come to discover that their self-awareness is merely derived from that which they observe. It's difficult for me to articulate this type of backwards thinking (despite having once held this belief), because it is psychotic, absurd and cannot hold up to an ounce of scrutiny. Only Satan could be the author of such evil nonsense.
