Does the spiritual "I" express itself through the physical "I"? If not, then of what relevance is the spiritual "I"? If so, and this 'god' affects the spiritual "I" then its doing so affects the physical "I" and therefore, if it does interfere, it interferes in the physical world. (Which also means that it and the effects of the spiritual "I" should be detectable in the physical world.) I get it, you want these things to be real in a way you can't imagine being possible in physical terms. And since your imagination isn't up to the task, and you're unwilling to part with your romantic notions, you punt to a mythical metaphysical realm, hoping to evade the problems your mind couldn't solve in the physical realm. First off, that simply doesn't work, as it creates more problems than it solves. Second, your argument then becomes an argument from ignorance for the existence of this realm and these things, making it worthless and your conclusions invalid. Moreover, this whole exercise seems like little more than coddling your wishful thinking and to hell with the consequences. You want these things to be true, so you insist they must be true. Besides being total bullshit, that's the answer of a child. If these things matter as much to you as you say, then they are important questions and deserve better from you than this wishful bullshit. If you're just trying to escape reality, do so; but don't try to wallpaper over the fact with a bunch of worthless romantic shit. It takes more resolve to hold firm at "I don't know," rather than making up bullshit answers like this. The god you've created here is little more than a projection of your infantile needs.
(And for what it's worth, I can account for basically all of these concepts in terms of physical processes, which, even if I'm wrong on some, points to the fact that you threw in the towel way too early.)
