LOLOL dear brother in Christ! We see what we see! :^)
To some it may appear that "machine" is itself composed of a myriad of living entities....
But certainly I'm in agreement that "The human body can and does cease to operate often. The spirit does not." As Plato might say, the spirit is the eternal "form" of the body. The body depends on it for its own material expression as an existent object. When the spirit "departs," the body is abandoned to the tender mercies of the second law of thermodynamics....
In short, the body perishes; but the soul or spirit does not. And thus Plato said, "Death, if I am right, is in the first place the separation from one another of two things, soul and body; nothing else." [Gorgias 524]
On the otherhand.. the human form could be a test of (some-a few)evil spirits(our spirits) getting a second chance as "a prodigal son" after reconsidering their choice of following Satan..
After all where does/do spirits "come from".. to inhabit a human body after that body is generated by human bodies?.. Surely our human fathers are fathers of our bodies.. God is father of the "spirit(s)"..
If our "spirit(s)" are really evil spirits(angelic) "getting a second chance" then that could answer WHY? Satan was allowed to get a second chance (Garden of Eden) to corrupt them.. I often wondered why Satan was allowed to be there..
Interesting topic here.. makes you think.. The drama of the human experience could be wholly about the prodigal experience.. With all operators in the prodigal metaphor present.. with Universal scope.. (Angels).. And that "We" are not human at all but Angels.. in our spirits twice tested.. with the "good" brother (good Angels) present too..
Therefore "going to hell" would because you were twice tested by God and FAILED both times.. proving that your "spirit" was defective in qualia..
Would make a good Sci-fi novel.. WAIT!.. that novel was already written.. its called the BIBLE.. if read with the right "observation"..
You know dreams may be to give the “spirit” something to do while the body sleeps.. After all why would your spirit need to sleep?..
