My experience is that believing that I am a spiritual being having a physical experience empowers me, improves my physical experience, opens me up to meaningful spiritual experiences, and allows me to love myself and others more fully. Thinking I am purely a physical body does not. Whether it's objectively true or provable is not relevant to me. I'd rather have a functional belief I can't objectively prove over a less-functional "true" belief any day, and WAY over a dysfunctional one.
