No materialist or scientistic thinker would have any problem acknowledging the “existence” of the spiritual, if doing so simply meant accepting that those things “exist as fictions exist—that is, in the imagination”.

The belief that to exist has to be identical to ‘exist in something is the most important logical fault of Gabriel's ontology

Recall that for Gabriel, “to exist” consists in “appearing in some field of sense,” and this must also apply to the existence of the world itself.

“The Whole does not exist, but everything exists.” This “everything” is more literal than it seems, for it does not refer to “everything that a reasonable reader would consider to exist if they reflected seriously about it”
