The Spiritual-Physical (old)

Please see Postulate Mechanics.

The Spiritual-Physical

The universe represents all that is knowable. This universe has generally been divided into spiritual and physical. 

The physical are those aspects of the universe that are sensed as ‘energy’ and ‘matter’. These sensations are given meaning, and so they acquire identities that we study in the subject of science.

The spiritual is assigned the remaining aspects of the universe, which are thought and awareness. But thought is a category of substance that is sensed like energy and matter. 

So, thought may be moved to be with  ‘energy’ and ‘matter’. This reorganization of “physical” may be called substance. This leaves “spiritual” to be pure awareness. This reorganization of “spiritual” may be called Self. 

The reorganized dichotomy of Self-Substance is a more scientifically precise division of the universe than the dichotomy Spiritual-Physical.

Misconception

It is a key misconception to think that the spiritual phenomena, which we can inherently sense and know, is not part of this universe. The truth is that anything knowable is part of this universe.

You may discover more misconceptions on your own, if you contemplate on each sentence of the above definition with mindfulness. Please see:

Good luck!
