Spirit, soul, etc. what is it?

Some say that a spirit, soul, ghost, etc. is some kind of energy? If so is it positive or negatively charged? We hear about blessing a location to end whatever is taking place there like a haunting, etc. to send the spirits away. But sometimes a blessing does not work.

If the spirits do not want to go, why not flood the area with some kind of negative or positive ion charge? We all know what happens when we short our car battery...whap! and a spark. If the spirit is a type of energy, then meeting an opposite energy will cause something to happen. Flooding the area with a charge may be like an electric fence, or maybe the charge might send them into another realm?

    According to the Bible the word soul refers to the entire living being, or to the life of the being -- when used as life, it is said to reside in the blood of the being.

    If with spirit you refer to the word being used in Eccl 12 then it refers to what returns to God when we die -- this is better read more deeply than here:

    The spirit is what makes you know and be known to God, while soul is what makes your physical body alive. Actually it doesn't have to be associated with the physicality of our world, these things is a state of mind that treats us negatively or positively, thus giving us what people conventionally call "energy".

    A persons Spirit is the essence of who they are. It is the thoughts, dreams, fears, ideas, beliefs of an individual. It is the non physical base of who we are. It is the one part of a person that cannot be destroyed.

    A spirit is neither positive or negative to begin, it becomes what that individual becomes. If you fill a jar with dirt, then you'll have a jar of dirt.

    Your body is the Temple of your soul. The energy

    you are asking about is that same energy that created this worldly dimension. The Creator of all of this created man by pulling him from our mother the earth, of all that he created the angels his most beloved creation he gave them every thing.

    their strength,the bueaty, and rule over man.

    When he created man The all Mighty gave us

    the one thing that he him self only had and this is

    The un bound will is ours as his own. When our Father created his most loved and bueatiful angeles will is bound to him .

    When God gave man what made him as he is ,he gave us the way to become as one with him.

    This free will he gave us is the key to creating the greatest thing of all. that is an open mind. that is the key you need to understanding of what our life is about and what we are suppose to due to become one with God.As he is to stand with The

    Creator of the Light. You see with free will you can make every thing come to pass as He wants it. The problem is that free will traps souls too. it gets them in to A closed loop so to say. Creating A closed mind only able to understand so much and cant accept the truth of our existance. the closed minded ones are as you put it negitive souls that are traped by the thinking of their earthly bodys. This is where religeon and

    what the Truth of what our creator wants us for.

    Not what Religeon say we are to become servants in god in heaven. That is closed minded thinking keeping its self from the truth.

    Your now A informed person take this knowlage

    and open your mind to becoming one of many that walk with our creator as he is and was and ever will be.The AllMighty Creator of us all.

    both that, or a particular form of remember which acts as a more beneficial open receptable for power. From a Mormon attitude, i chanced on one scripture in Doctrine & Covenants 131:7-8 - "there is not any such difficulty as immaterial remember. All spirit is remember, although that's more beneficial nice or organic, and would purely be discerned by utilising purer eyes. we are able to not see it; yet at the same time as our bodies are purified we will see that this is all remember." This become recorded in would, 1843, by utilising Joseph Smith, as a revelation. yet another verse in Doctrine & Covenants seventy seven:2 (recorded in 1832) says "...the spirit of guy (is) contained in the likeness of his individual, as also the spirit of the beast, and one yet another creature which God has created." it will be that we are going to no longer understand the precise relationship between remember and spirit and power till we see the Resurrection in procedure after the 2d Coming of Jesus Christ. Have a chuffed day, and sturdy question.
