Dear Jim,
I do not understand what a spirit is if you can
agree that a spirit wears a cloak.
How are you defining spirit?
And do you agree that it can look old (i.e., have white
hair and beard? Do you agree that it chirps? Do you
agree that it eats its own dung and drinks its own
urine? IF you do not agree, why? And if you do agree,
why does this being not have a body?
That Samuel lived on after death is certain, but that
he lived on in a physical body that wore clothes, that
ate, drank, and talked/chirped is also clear (to me anyway).
So I don't know what you mean by "spirit." To me a spirit
is something that has no body.
