The Concept of Spirit: Myth or Science
The Concept of Spirit:
Myth or Science?
By Gwilda Wiyaka
The most common definition of the
spiritual realm is “that which cannot be
perceived by either the five senses, or
scientific instrumentation.” In order to
investigate the concept of spirit, it is
necessary to look at perception.
For the most part, human beings interpret
and define their reality based upon the
information coming in through the five
senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and
touch. For years, unless one was a mystic,
if a thing couldn’t consciously be
registered by one of the five, it simply
didn’t exist. End of story.
As science advanced, instrumentation
was developed that could register
frequencies the five human senses could
not, such as electromagnetic fields, or
sound and light above and below the
threshold of the human ability to
perceive. This discovery gave way to the
concept that there are things beyond our
perception.
ALL THINGS EXPRESS
ACCORDING TO
FREQUENCY.
Everything we experience through our
five senses is in the form of frequency.
There is a scale of frequencies that runs
from the denseness of matter to the
invisibility of radiation and beyond.
For example, our eardrums perceive
mechanical waves, while our eyes detect
electromagnetic ones. The frequency of
sound is produced by repetitive
disturbances of the air, causing waves to
travel at the speed of sound, at a
