I believe a body is not a spirit and a spirit is not a body, but that does not mean that there can be no such thing as a spiritual body.
A spiritual body is a body that is quite different from the one we have now and it cannot be described because we don't know what it will be like.
No, a spirit is not physical, nor is a spiritual body physical.
A spiritual body is a body that is different from the one we have now.
I agree with you about the spiritual body, but I think it can be described by those who have seen spirits. I'm referring to genuine psychic mediums or even people without mediumship who have encountered spirits, such as paranormal investigators or others who were in the right place at the right time or in the wrong place at the wrong time, depending on the type of encounter it was. In response to yours posts, I'd like to repost what I wrote on a similar topic.
The following is what I previously wrote on this subject.
This is what I believe and have personally experienced. As I've mentioned in previous posts (including this
one), the majority of the earthbound human spirits that I visually see are translucent, and they typically manifest themselves as they perceived themselves prior to death, including the clothing that they associated most closely with their identity in life. I've seen the spirits of Union and Confederate soldiers manifest and appear in their uniforms, as well as other spirits manifest in the clothing of the era in which they died. In my experience encountering these spirits, they are often mistaken for historical reenactment actors or local residents who are dedicated to the history of the location. I understand that such an encounter can be shocking to the living.
Read my post
here for further details about my past experiences with these spirits.
Full-body apparitions are the closest I've ever seen to earthbound human spirits that resemble living humans. These spirits can accumulate enough energy to manifest into more than a spectral image. They can appear and feel like a real living person, but then they will totally shock the hell out of living people by walking through a solid wall or door, vanishing right before their eyes, or vanishing without a trace in a matter of seconds. I've seen these extraordinary spirits mostly in homes from the Civil War era, in Civil War museums, and on Civil War battlefields. My husband has also seen a couple of these spirits. In fact, he had a shocking encounter with one that literally changed his personal perspective of the Bible's depictions of the afterlife. It truly changed his life.
I've shared the story of his encounter in these prior posts:
post #1 and
post #2.
I've often said that the primary distinction between us and the earthbound spirits all around us is that they are dead and we are still alive. And although most living people may never visually see a spirit (a.k.a., a ghost), their bodies will certainly react to being close to one. The goosebumps on a person's arm, the standing hair on their arms and the back of their neck, and the dreaded feeling of being watched when no one else is present are commonly believed in the paranormal field to be our physical bodies' reaction to encountering something metaphysical, like earthbound spirits, whether human or non-human. However, it is becoming increasingly normal for living people to freely acknowledge that there is more to our physical world than meets the eye. In fact, belief in the paranormal, such as in ghosts and hauntings, is more widely accepted than in years past. It's more acceptable to talk about it.
I further explained this favorable trend and provided current statistics in my previous post
here.
Personally, I find this information to be pretty positive, and I'm really pleased with it. As someone who lives with paranormal phenomena on a daily basis and has since I was a small child, I can honestly say that I believe it is a small step in the right direction. Poltergeist activity is very common in my house, and it doesn't frighten me or my family. It's not unusual to hear footsteps in the hallway in the middle of the night when everyone is in their room, to hear knocking on the walls, to hear disembodied voices coming from an empty bedroom or from the living room in the middle of the night, or to see a partial or full body apparition. If the activity becomes annoying, such as returning home to find the cabinet doors and drawers open in the kitchen, I'll fuss about it, and it won't happen again for a while. It's usually the new spirits who cause this activity, though. I consider the resident spirits in my house to be family because they have been here for a long time. In fact, my family and these spirits live peacefully in my home. Most of these spirits followed me home and opted to stay, or they have a connection to my house or the land. We're not afraid of the activity because we understand what it is and why it's happening.
