Hey, y'all --
I just joined today, and the discussions are intriguing!
I'd like to add something here -- the way I see it, we humans are spiritual entities just like all the others -- the demons, angels, spirits, deities, whatever you want to call them.
At any rate, just as there are people who do not have our best interests at heart, so are there nonphysical beings who also don't have our best interests at heart.
The most outstanding difference between humans and nonphysical entities is that we have this dense overcoat we call a physical body. It's an earth suit, really. Like an astronaut wears to navigate space, we have an earth suit to help us navigate earth.
We encase ourselves in it because we are here to experience not just the spiritual, less dense worlds, but the physical world as well. We're here to play with gravity, for example.
In short, we have more dimensions to explore than they -- that's my guess.
(For the moment, it might be wise to leave out discussions on whether or not these entities have a soul.)
Further, I don't see how this is at all unscientific. I'm no expert in physics, but the little bit I know about string theory says that there are at least ten dimensions, some furled and some unfurled. I take that to mean some in the process of manifesting and others more potential. And these dimensions are all around us right now.
A little visit to the wikipedia gave me this:
"When the calculation is done, the universe's dimensionality is not four as one may expect (three axes of space and one of time). Bosonic string theories are 26-dimensional, while superstring and M-theories turn out to involve 10 or 11 dimensions. In bosonic string theories, the 26 dimensions come from the Polyakov equation.[5] However, these results appear to contradict the observed four dimensional space-time."
I don't quite follow it all (well, the Polyakov equation has me beat), but it seems to me to boil down to ""There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Or mine, for that matter.
So why can't these non physical beings we call spirits or entities have an objective (whatever that means) existence in one or more of these ten, eleven, or twenty-six dimensions? It could possibly explain quite a bit.
In short, I think it's important for us to recognize that just because we can't see something when looking through the visor of our earth suit, that certainly doesn't mean it isn't there.
Anyway, thanks for letting me join the party. This is fun!
