| Similar concepts in other languages include Greek [[Pneuma]] and Sanskrit ''[[akasha]]'', ''see also'' [[Prana]]. In some languages, the word for spirit is often closely related, if not synonymous to [[mind]]. Examples include the German, 'Geist' (related to the English word ghost) or the French, 'l'espirit'. In the Judaeochristian "[[Bible]]", the word "[[ruach]]" (רוח; "wind") is most commonly translated as the spirit, whose essence is divine (see [[Holy Spirit]]). Alternately the word [[nephesh]] is commonly used. Nephesh, as referred to by [[Kabbalah|Kabbalists]], is one of the five parts of the Jewish [[soul]], where "nephesh" (''animal'') refers to the physical being and its animal instincts. Similarly, both the [[Scandinavian languages]] and the [[Chinese language]] uses the term "breath" to refer to the spirit. | | Similar concepts in other languages include Greek [[Pneuma]] and Sanskrit ''[[akasha]]'', ''see also'' [[Prana]].

− | In the [[evolution]]ary [[multiverse|superuniverses]] energy-[[matter]] is dominant except in [[personality]], where spirit through the mediation of [[mind]] is struggling for the mastery. The goal of the evolutionary universes is the subjugation of energy-matter by mind, the co-ordination of mind with spirit, and all of this by virtue of the [[creativity|creative]] and unifying [[presence]] of personality. Thus, in relation to personality, do physical systems become subordinate; mind systems, co-ordinate; and spirit systems, directive.
