Post election greetings.
I am always curious about what mechanism might enable the spiritual to interact with the physical. And give that it might, what purposte there is in defining the spiritual as non-physical.
Anything with properties that can be observed, and which participates in observable phenomena is physical, whether you admit it or not.

To me, non-physical would entail that which is non-corporeal, non-spatial and non-temporal. A great many things fall in this category, including mathematical structures, emotions, pain, expectations to name a few.
Moreover, when I observe the unreasonable effectiveness of math, the geometry, the "lofty structure of all that there is" (as Einstein put it), the existence of successful communication in the universe and in biological systems - I am raptured in the Scriptures which say:
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: - Romans 1:20
