metaphysical claptrap #1

Who knows how the spirits work? 
It's possible they work without limits 

Slaving away unphysically 
by any means you care 
to explain, 

they can do it 
you see

because spiritually 
is like mentally: it 
is

unphysically bound. 

For real. It is so. For when
have we ever seen a spirit 
physically bound? No
physics or forces or matter

or charge 

can put obstacle in, 
where a spirit's at large. 

Yet responsive they are! 
To emotion and thought 
- they're attracted to these, 
and so sometimes caught 

I believe it's the hidden 
affinity 
between mental and spiritual 
which they
more clearly than we
can see.
It enables the spirits 

to notice, react 
to anguish, desire, 
fear and pain 
- strong pull, clear call 
even though they're not really
in your brain at all.

It is six of one 
and nonetheless:
because the spirits 
are like
imagination 

I guess - in limitlessness,
if in nothing else. In lack
of hard bounds to block 

oneself, such as physical beings
like we
find 'round. In every shape 
and size you could want. 

This link of unlimitedness
(mind for us, spirit for them)
is the kink that fascinates.
They can't quite believe
we believe
that sh!t,

so 

of course they spring 
to prove how great
and limitless, responsive, 
if not
exactly responsible they 
can be. Pretty much doing anything 

(except
affect 
the world you see) 

they can function, move about 
and operate invisibly  

any spiritual way we conceive,
or care to explain. They are
as limitless in being and action 
(provided ineffectual) 
as we are in brain. Conception and fancy, 
immaterially - that aspect of ours
and their entirety
works almost precisely the same.

It really is remarkable 
- and suggestive. Perhaps, 

the mind is infinite, 
and we are all spirits? 

Let us not get 
too far ahead
of ourselves

on that. 

There's a very long way 
to go - a limitless way - 
in understanding spirit 

before we can truly 
conclusively say. 

Besides 
nobody wants to hear it.
