We really cannot think of matter as either existing or not existing. The consciousness cannot truly create matter - there is no such thing as matter. There is only the constructive interference of the interpenetrating universe. As it is written in the Mundaka Upanishad: 'By energism of Consciousness Brahman is massed; from that Matter is born and from Matter Life and Mind and the worlds.'
