Whether I can see it with my eyes or not is inconsequential. Certainly you understand why. If you were trying to make some comparison between spirit and wind, I believe you were falling very short on your logic. Nobody wonders whether the wind is real. And everybody can certainly feel it, so it’s not a good comparison. The question is how do we Test the existence of spirit?

I don’t believe your claim how do you propose to convince me, and everyone else that requires proof before believing you? You do understand that you can’t just simply make claims and demand that people believe them.

Confirmation requires proof, otherwise it’s just a personal experience. If you have proof I would love to see it but if you have personal anecdotes, I am not interested.

you have jumped the gun quite a bit there. We would necessarily need to confirm the existence of spirit before you could ask such a question.

The universe might, but if she does she not willingly giving up that secret willy-nilly.
Further understanding of consciousness and/or how such emerges is required i imagine.
Yes, of course, but is spirit solely comprised of consciousness? What came first spirit or consciousness?
No, you need confirmation, I do not.
If you want to write fiction have At it. But if you want to be taken seriously, confirmation is indeed necessary. The OP is asking a serious question, they are looking for answers. I will be the first to mention that I do not think these answers will be forthcoming because I don’t think the subject matter is real. But, if people here are truly serious in this quest to find out whether this is real or not, there are certain methods we could employ besides simply stating things as fact or denying the need for confirmation.
I already have my confirmation, you do not, therefore it is up to you to confirm that it is hooey.
Exactly, and my confirmation is based on proof via OBEs. How do you propose we measure an OBE?
I am relaying my experiences to hopefully find others with the same experiences/realities of existence. Can you see the wind?
But can you see it?
Because people are able to make up all kinds of stories. My neighbor thinks he’s John F Kennedy. Should I accept his claim is fact or should I be skeptical?

It is a guess in the dark. About something that has never been confirmed. What we should be focusing on is how to confirm this?

The term energy is very vague. Far too vague to make such claims.

energy...thought processes of the viewers by different levels of ability to see, hear and feel...some can't see...some don't see, some won't see..visions and "impressions" of people, places and time past.
Places and people-events past...can leave an energy "imprint"...
It's the closest description I could use in general
Why dismiss people's actual experiences just because you have not experienced what they have?

You keep on bringing up the terms quantum and space time. I’m guessing you think they sound cool. But I know that you have no idea what those terms mean or how they would apply to this situation. If you are truly interested in coming to the truth about this subject, I would ask you to stop making stabbing gases in the dar you keep on bringing up the terms quantum and space time. I’m guessing you think they sound cool. But I know that you have no idea what those terms mean or how they would apply to this situation. If you are truly interested in coming to the truth about this subject, I would ask you to stop Stabbing at guesses in the dark. And stop using scientific terms that you think sound cool.

Following a linear progression of time that's a perfectly valid question.
But if our essence/connection to the macro universe eliminates from the quantum realm then questions such as what came first could be rather arbitrary.
I'm thinking some kind of shared group consciousness myself that transcends our notions and current understanding of space-time.

Wow dude you have serious issues... lol....
Nothing wrong with anyone using the words quantum and space time. All they are talking about is something outside of both space and time. Maybe another dimension exists, who knows.... It is beyond your conception.
The OP is asking what is spirit material.

I dont work in that field, i repair and build computers. LoL
Special knowledge, well i read, does that count?
All knowledge is useful dependent on circumstance.
I don't really think you are entertaining into the "Spirit" of the thread. LoL
Do you have anything useful to contribute other than nonconstructive criticism?
Else crap or get off the pot, please. x
I have a high standard when it comes to these discussions. That high standard comes from my training as a scientist.

If I ask you to hand me a wrench, and you don’t know what a wrench is , and you bring me a bowl, Then it is not my use of the language that is in question.
You have just made a claim there that spirit is ethereal. How did you come to that conclusion? Have you tested the spirit and found it to be a serial seria you have just made a claim there that spirit is ethereal. How did you come to that conclusion? Have you tested spirit and found it to be ethereal? Which definition of ethereal are you using?

If so I would love to see your work. But I’m guessing you are also just using words that you think sound cool.
Can we please stay on topic and will you please refrain from making threats That you obviously can’t follow through on?

Go condescend to someone that actually cares mate.
I have been stating actual science and experimentation is required repeatedly in this thread.
Jog along now inflammatory little doggie and burn some things before you get bitten. x
Let the adults debate in peace.
I have $10,000 waiting for you if you can prove that you have any sort of life in the ethereal.

Just from experience which is my reality in the ether, much more than what you have. And the words are cool because the experience is cool, it just comes through, I guess.
