“I’ll believe it when I see it”

“I’ll believe it when I see it”

Too late! One can not believe “it” when they see “it.” The statement, the concept is incongruous, internally incompatible. The statement is, therefore, inherently untrue. A belief, to believe, is an acceptance or trust in a future or otherwise unknown event or occurrence. A capacity to believe is quenched or extinguished upon knowledge. The state of being in belief and the state of having knowledge are mutually exclusive

“I don’t believe in spiritual things”

An unprejudiced conscious being; namely, one perceiving, apprehending, or noticing with a degree of controlled thought or observation and with an open mind not clouded by suspicion, fear, or intolerance; may not truthfully say, “I don’t believe in spiritual things,” In consideration of Misters Merriam & Webster, the term “spiritual” things includes incorporeal things, having no material body or form. Many incorporeal things are widely acknowledged, including light, wind, and consciousness

Light, for example, an electromagnetic radiation, is incorporeal. Light itself is not perceived. One does not see, smell, taste, touch, nor hear light. Rather, one perceives that which is illuminated. Like wind. One does not see wind, nor smell, taste, touch, or hear wind. One perceives the effects of wind, the effect of a movement of air, though wind would not be the air itself, only the movement

To deny the incorporeal, one must deny one’s own consciousness. In the instance of a person at the point of death, the only difference between the live person and the corpse a few seconds later is a few seconds and the presence or absence of consciousness, the soul or spirit of the person. One’s consciousness is not a physical body or form. Can not, for example, organs and even a whole body be mechanically maintained without any measurable brain activity, without the consciousness? Yet, without the consciousness, the body is not a person, is not considered viable. Back in the day as it were, a human body was determined to comprise about fifteen dollars of common chemicals. Like light or wind, consciousness is not seen, smelled, tasted, touched, nor heard. Only the effects of consciousness are perceived
