   You're right, I don't believe in the existence of what I'm assuming you   
   mean by "the soul". However, I enjoy a good hypothetical argument as well   
   as the next man, so on with it..

   Well, of course, now you'd have to define "spiritual energy", and explain   
   why a soul would be sensitive to it...

   ...and then explain why, as you appear to be suggesting, an audio tape   
   recorder would be capable of recording and playing back such energy.   
      
   (Or are you suggesting something more prosaic?)
