Spirits, ghosts, and that kind of stuff

[Gingerbread Demon]

Gonna be awful crowded! Like Gideon crowded.

Heaven is infinite how can it be crowded?

 

[Steve Roby]

What's bigger, an infinite space or an infinite number of people?

So it's conceivable that the process might lead to a universe evolving a collective intelligence emerging from the interaction of individual intelligences or information networks. Rather than an immanent consciousness creating the universe, the universe would create the immanent consciousness. As Carl Sagan said, "We are a way for the universe to know itself."

I like this! My studies in esoteric and occult philosophy say this is entirely possible. In fact, even probable. There's a occult concept called an egregore, which is when the collective belief in something is so strong, that Something comes into being. I can see the gradual growth of human (and other?) consciousness on this planet eventually leading to various Gods and spirits.

I'm sorry, but only science can say what's possible. Philosophy just says what some philosopher thinks is possible. It doesn't actually answer the question, it just produces a hypothesis to consider. Only observation and experiment can tell us whether a hypothesis actually holds water.
