Thread Name: BS: Matter and Spirit
Subject: RE: BS: Matter and Spirit
I understand matter but its defining Spirit that baffles me.
The worst topic I ever picked for a university essay was, Spirit and/or Soul. I was trying to find out if there was a cultural difference in the concept. The best I could come up with was that soul was individualistic while spirit was a a collective of souls. I was amazed at how prevalent the concept was in all cultures.
What do you think the difference might be? Is it strictly cultural? Do all cultures identify spirit and soul or just one or the other?
