We hear a lot of talk about " Spirits" and things of the like, but just what is a Spirit? And for that matter, a " Spirit Being?" I think a Spirit is a " Consciousness without a body." Spirit is consciousness, life without a human form. Real life, the kind which cannot evolve from nothing. I believe every human has a " Spirit in them", which is consciousness, not to be confused with their body. Two entirely different things, our body just carrys our Spirit ( or consciousness) around, like a vehicle. The human body is the " Temple of the Spirit", it contains it.

A Spirit then is conscious life, it cannot be seen, cannot be located within a single area, and has no body itself, so it would be contridiction to say" Spirit Body", a Spirit is more like " A Ghost." I think this Spirit is the real life in humans, its battery, its true source of energectic thought; the governer of our behavior; the orgin of our emotions; the real backround of our intelligence; and I think this Spirit is a part of God himself, its the closest thing we have to him, and the most powerful witness of his reality.

When a human dies, or even an animal, ( because even animal life is a type of spirit, just unconscious spirit) the spirit is gone, so the body dies. So the Spirit is very important to life, even physical life. I think its possible to substain a physical body- alive- even if the spirit has left, with the help of technology, but only until the plug is pulled, there is no consciousness there.

Spirit then, is an ample evidence of God, its his world, his existence, his consitution, his fingerprint, his essence, its really him; a real part of him, its how he creates. Its our key to life.

Spirit could be ample evidence of god if there were any evidence of spirit.

Actually the spirit is still there willing. A spirit/energy cannot die (unlesss something greater says so) the vehicles are what give out. Death for now is like the ultimate expressive aphasia but as science progresses I think this will change things, for some.

I my opinion, Spirit is the only thing that does exist, everything else is a manifestion of that spirit, from the minerals to the highest form of life, all is spirit. It is something that we can not seperate from, some my call this "God" but for me, it is what it is and has always been so.

Well thats what makes this subject so difficult, we cannot see Spirit, but we can feel it. We cannot see magnetism, but we can see its results. We cannot see Love, but we can see what it causes. We cannot see air, but we can know that we breathe it into ourselves. Seeing would be evidence, but just because we cannot see something, in no way means that it does not exist.

So we cannot see wind, so we must look to other ways to determine the evidence of its existence, such as leaves being blown, trees shaking, and we can actually feel wind on our skin. So it is with " Spirit", we cannot see it physically, but that does not mean it does not exist, or there is no evidence of it, we must use other means. We can " Feel Spirit", just like we can feel wind. We feel Spirit with our consciousness, its the " Spirit bearing witness of itself", because Spirit is Consciousness. We can talk to ourselves within our own minds without even verbally speaking a word, this is " Spirit communication", and confirmation, something is there; within you, and its not physical, and needs no physical communication.

I don't think the Spirit can die either, unless, as you stated, something greater than it decrees it to. The vechicles give out, as I think all matter is destined to. So in matters of " Spirit", a " Spirit world" must exist, that something " Greater than." And that " Greater than Spirit world", is what I believe spawned the physical world, or started it, created it, birthed it.

Although I don't understand it, a Spirit cannot die, thus a Spirit world cannot die, which conversely means its a far greater level of life ( or consciousness) than we know. I think all conscious life, ( or all Spirits) have been birthed, or created by God, one or the other of two ways he seems to have done this. God can either birth a life, simular to human women giving birth, meaning it comes out of him, or he can literally create it from outside of him.

That's what got me started. I was presented with evidence that could not be explained scientifically.

Happened at the Golden Gate Spritiualist church in San Francisco. That was the first time. Then other times in other places.

Well I differ in view, its obvious that physical things exist. Matter exist, and these things are not " Spirit things." A mountian or a tree has no spirit, unless you get into some native american indian beliefs. I would agree that everything is a manifestation of Gods creating Spirit, I would agree there, but all physical things are not an illusion. It certainly would be something if that were true, that all physical things were an elaborate illusion.

But I think when humans are exposed to " Other Spirits", illusion is most defintely part of the result.
