Hi Don.
Energy, matter, AND spirit, are all part of GOD's one great creation.
Your FEAR of investigating things that have been named "spiritualism" by
others in the past strikes me as irrational. It sounds more like the
superstitious dogma propounded by certain ignorant misguided religions
of the dark ages. Believe what you want to, but your superstitious fears
serve only to enslave your own mind. This forum is about science not
religion. I suggest that if you object to the study of certain things
based on your religious beliefs, that you keep it to yourself and simply
stay away from it rather than trying to rationalize your personal
'moral' objections to everyone else. I for one do not subscribe to this
mail list to be preached to.
