Argument for the existence of spirit (ritual, spiritual, philosophy)

[methylatedghosts]

This is an argument I'm going to begin to develop for the existence of spirit/soul/whatever you wanna call it. It came to me today as we were discussing dualism today in class.

I just would like some help pointing out holes in the argument and such as we go along, as I know some of you are VERY good at that

Ok, to start.

As far as I know, we have 4 dimensions

Vertical
Horizontal
Depth
Time

Would it not be possible for another dimension which I will call the "spiritual dimension" that exists in the same point

The dimension of time you cannot feel, taste, smell, hear or see. The spiritual one, you can also not feel, taste, smell, hear or see.

The basis for dualsim is that the physical and spiritual interact. If a spiritual thing exists in the same point as me, that is a part of me, and exists in a separate "spiritual" dimension, you won't be able to sense it, but it'll be there and effect the physical. In a similar sense, time has an effect on us.


Ok, away you go. I'll try and keep a regular post in to reply and TRY to counter the holes all you people poke into it =D

Interesting thoughts!

My only criticism would be that using the term "dimension". That implies that our spiritual aspect can be quantified, which seems a bit strange to me.

Ok, I only realise this now *facepalms*. This is TOTALLY in the wrong place. Is there a mod who can move it to the Philosophy part?
