Proving the non-physical is an exercise in futility.
We cannot prove the existence of numbers, but we use them in mathematics.
We cannot prove the existence of space, but we measure it.
We cannot prove the existence of time, but we keep track of it.
We cannot prove the existence of ghosts, but perhaps some of us make that bridge between non-physical entities and sensory perception.
There are countless connections between the physical and non-physical. It is all around us. We all experience it every day.
Perfection does not exist; it is a concept, but that doesn't stop some of us from perceiving it.
