What is the origin of calling liquor "spirits?"?
Q. I know that spirits are distilled rather than fermented and I know that once they get above a certain sweetner amount they are called liquours, but I was wondering where the origin of calling them "spirits" came from. If documentation can be provided, it would be great. Thanks!!

A. Good question. but first the Fermentation is what produces the alcohol, yeast through a very complex process break down sugars and the byproduct of their consumption is the ethanol. Since the yeast can only produce up to around 20% alcohol it must be distilled. Distilling is kind of like a extraction process. Basically the 20% batch is heated. and the vapor is condensed and collected and Since alcohol and essential oils are more vol ital than water they are the first to be vaporized. I tried to explain it as simply as I could and I hope that makes sense. As for the question I read once that it comes from an old saying I can not remember it exactly, but it was something like "lost to the spirits" referring to the way alcohol evaporates… [cont.]

What is the supposed difference between the forms that spirits take?
Q. Why do some appear as orbs, mist, shadows, and full body? Is it believed that spirits are stuck in this form or can they take any form they choose?

A. I am a paranormal investigator. Spirits can take any form they like. From simple shadow people, to black or white mist even stay unseen. 99% of orbs can be debunked as dust, rain, etc. mostly they are dust. Though some think they are balls of energy. Most full body spirits are what I refer to as residual spirits. They are just going about their everyday normal activities they performed while alive. Granted some spirits are stuck in this earthbound world because they have unfinished business.

Spirits are supernatural beings or essences — transcendent and therefore metaphysical in nature.

Sourced

  • There is neither spirit nor matter in the world; the stuff of the universe is spirit-matter. No other substance but this could produce the human molecule. I know very well that this idea of spirit-matter is regarded as a hybrid monster, a verbal exorcism of a duality which remains unresolved in its terms. But I remain convinced that the objections made to it arise from the mere fact that few people can make up their minds to abandon an old point of view and take the risk of a new idea... Biologists or philosophers cannot conceive a biosphere or noosphere because they are unwilling to abandon a certain narrow conception of individuality. Nevertheless, the step must be taken. For in fact, pure spirituality is as unconceivable as pure materiality. Just as, in a sense, there is no geometrical point, but as many structurally different points as there are methods of deriving them from different figures, so every spirit derives its reality and nature from a particular type of universal synthesis.

Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).

  • Millions of spiritual beings walk the earth unseen, Both when we wake, and when we sleep.
  • Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings Of that mysterious instrument, the soul, And play the prelude of our fate.
  • Do we not hear voices, gentle and great, and some of them like the voices of departed friends,— do we not hear them saying to us, "Come up hither?"
