Viruses are considered by some to be a life form, because they carry genetic material, reproduce, and evolve through natural selection.
However they lack key characteristics (such as cell structure) that are generally considered necessary to count as life.
Because they possess some but not all such qualities, viruses have been described as “organisms at the edge of life”.
In my work I feel viruses in the field around the human body. They feel like a cloud that has an energy of its own. Thus they feel to me as if they have a life energy and function as parasites.
They are sometimes difficult to differentiate from an attached earthbound spirit or ghost around a person that also has a life energy of its own but no physical structure at our visible level.
