easy there doug, your going to make yourself cross-eyed!
who knows what sort of energy spirits posess, it may be nothing we know of in our laws of physics, after all they are super natural. this means their laws do not conform to our laws, if they did we would be able to see them and talk to them all the time. this is not the case however because we do not posess the capabilities to do that, apart from from some people. this is actually a major debate which could go on for an eternity, and still we will never know, and thats the way it is meant tobe otherwise we would be born knowing. but i like many people are driven by the constant chase of studying them and with the buzz of actually experinecing them.
