I found that post rather hard to follow... Anyway, I think that our mind could be a spirit, of some sort. Maybe it isn't, but it's possible. I'm leaning towards (but not completely subscribing too) the idea that our soul, body, mind, or whatever you call it does not live on past death. I can't really be sure at all, though. However, I believe that absence of a life affter death might not be at all that bad. Think about it; freedom from all of the pains of life (sort of a Buddhist nirvana-like thing I have goin' here,  )I obviously do not take a strong side of belief on this, but I'm putting this out for consideration. It seems likely enough. But you never know .

I agree. There is a lulling sense with death, the loss of perceivance, the breaking of reality with actuality, the ending of causality

Much to my surprise, all of the books dealt with witchcraft, mediums, and ghosts. Is this the sort of metaphysics you are refering to?

I don't believe in the supernatural in terms of what u r refering to, in fact I don't believe metaphysics should have anything to do with that sort of thing. Is metaphysics not the study of principles and the effect they have on the universe. There is no proof that such beings exist therefore why construe them with explaining events and the universe. It is a frivolous, childish concept.

Don't get me wrong though, I believe in a transcendence that governs the existence and morality of God and what it stands for. I also believe in the soul, but not a spirit. I don't believe that at any point there is an incorporeal part to the living that coexists with it. It is to me, an illusion created by transcendence, however humanity would be insane with it.
