Our concept of what is "physically" possible is limited by our vision and reasoning - namely, four geometric dimensions (three of space and one of time.) Mathematically speaking (geometric physics) - in multi-spatial dimensions a "thing" can be both separated and non-separated from another "thing" depending on the observer. For instance, one body - a hand here, a leg there, an elbow over there. ..]

Quite true.. What do "we" know of dimensions?..... "nothing".. We surmise there be a thing like dimensions, they seem to add up to human mathematics.. But human mathematics could be so flawed its like cave art to photography..

Its possible being a "the spirit" don't even NEED shape to function well.. Maybe shape itself is redundant or limiting, and linear like thinking.. Humans are so addicted to flesh mentally.. it can be an obsession.. Idolatry seems to be primitive spirituality.. needing an "object" to hold or "observe" as a teddy bear.. to a waif..

[.. Our concept of what is "physically" possible is limited by our vision and reasoning ..]

I agree... unless we expand our thoughts to things on this earth that do not need shape.. like air or water.. Air appears to be one thing when it is many things(gases) and particles floating in it.. Water can be solid, liquid or gaseous.. itself composed of two gases available in AIR..

The bible uses both to model spirit as metaphors.. Merely metaphors but not the real thing.. Air and water could be primitive examples of what spirit is, or may be like, also.. I posit the human body itself could be merely a metaphor of what the spirit might be in some aspects.. Eyes, Ears, the NOSE, Taste, the skin(feeling), shapely identity, and more could all be pointers or object lessons toward the real thing spiritually..

What IF HELL is being limited to a "human like" body for eternity?.. BUT missing the REAL THING.. Being limited to the "picture" of the real thing BUT denied the thing itself.. Whatever THAT IS... And human life is like winning or possessing a lottery ticket to untold wealth but throwing it in the trash..

What a beautiful essay-post, dear brother in Christ!

So very true!

Its possible being a "the spirit" don't even NEED shape to function well.. Maybe shape itself is redundant or limiting, and linear like thinking..

Indeed. I suspect there are some who find it easier to believe in someone who believes in God - than to believe in God, directly.

A very engaging speculation, dear hosepipe.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. - John 3:7-8

Praise God!!!
