"36. No Ideas in our own complex one of spirits, but those got from sensation or reflection.-This farther is to be observed, that there is no idea we attribute to God, bating infinity, which is not also a part of our complex idea of other spirits. Because, being capable or no other simple ideas belonging to anything buy body...we can attribute to spirits no other but what we recieve from thence"
Locke says that we can, and also must, relate spirits with God and I agree with him. Spirits, of people who are now dead, are not part of human society, and are therefore not part of the body we see. Spirits are rarely seen, and are often just seen in glimpses of apparitions.
People who have had near death expierences, say they have seen the light, or God. At no other time in their life have they seen it, and when they emerege alive, they tell others about it. This shows that God is also a spirit, not a body, and only seen in really spiritual situations, like death.

i do not agree with you completely.i do believe that spirits are not visible and what not, but i do not agree with the idea that they are not part of the human society. in fact i think they are part of the human society. we may not see these spirits but we feel them around us and with in us. which is why some people strongly believe in god and other spirits.
