Our material existence has also mental, psychological and occasionally psychic conditions. We think, imagine, visualize and fantasize. Our ways of looking at the world as sentient beings can include all such mental conditions and much more.
To be a materialist pertains to a philosophical view of looking at the world. Some thinkers have held such views since the ancient times, where matter (in all its various forms, including energy) is seen as the foundation on which everything rests.
Speaking only about human beings, their ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., take place within their physical bodies. Without bodies, their thoughts and ideas cannot float as disembodied things in the air. In other words, without a living body, there is no mind or its activities. On our physical death, mind and its activities cease.
