The word ’matter’ comes from Latin materia which, in turn, is derived from mater, ’mother’. After all, the matter of our bodies comes from our mother. People also thought matter is the mother of all phenomena. Well, the relationship between mind and matter has been hotly debated by philosophers, physicists, priests and alcoholics. Right now we are interested in the latter, in a somewhat extended sense. Whether mind and matter are the same or not, certain types of stuff can certainly affect your mind. (We'll talk about the reverse direction another time.)
