Spirits As Software Dr Joscha Bach Explains

Dr. Joscha Bach suggests that the concept of spirits in animist cultures can be understood as self-organizing software agents within us. These “spirits” are like software driving our behavior, not violating physical laws but operating as the real essence that maintains and repairs our bodies. When this software fails, the body disintegrates, and life becomes available for other agents. Essentially, our consciousness and identity are deeply tied to this underlying software, which is the true driving force behind our existence.
