Hard Problem of the Spirit

Often used interchangeably with "soul," but can imply a less personal, more universal or energetic essence. The hard problem here is similar: what is its substance? Is it a field? A vibration? A form of information? And how does this universal "spirit" give rise to individual, bounded consciousness? It risks becoming a vague, all-explaining metaphysical ether that, by explaining everything, explains nothing in a testable way.
Example: "She said she was 'raising her spiritual vibration.' The hard problem of spirit: what is 'vibrating,' and what instrument could measure it? If it's just a metaphor for a positive mindset, call it that. If it's a real energy, point to the gauge. The term floats in a realm between poetry and physics, accountable to neither."
