My problem responding to the OP is that I don't know what the word material thing means as opposed to immaterial thing. Anyonce care to offer a working definition that fits?

I think you can do it in a subjective fashion by talking only about your experience, with the assumption that one can talk about ones experience.
The way you interpret what's been said it makes sense. The way I did, it didn't.
