Simulacrum and the "Holy Spirit"
#1
Simulacrum and the "Holy Spirit"
Simulacrum-(plural: simulacra), from Latin: simulacrum which means "likeness, similarity",[1] was first recorded in the English language in the late 16th century, used to describe a representation, such as a statue or a painting, especially of a god.

I learned of this word and meaning not to long ago. I find it an interesting psychological phenomena that might explain “Holy Spirit” and other spiritual experiences. Basically based on the definition the Sub- conscious mind of an individual will simulate what (in this case the holy spirit) would feel and act like, so that the conscious mind will believe that reality. Basically for reasons that are not known due to my lack of knowledge in neurology. I feel with basic information this seems to be a logical explanation of the personal experiences a lot of times with in religious circles with in the mind.

I would be a televangelist....but I have too much of a soul.
