I don't see what's so absurd here. It's like you are just laughing at it because your society teaches materialism.

Matter is defined as a substance that takes up space and has mass. Energy would then be something that doesn't take up space, but has mass. That means physical things have mass.

Do we have reason to think that there are things that exist but are not physical? Yes, geometrical figures, which neither take up space or have mass. If they didn't exist, triangulation of physical space would not work.

I would venture to guess that a spirit can take up space but has no mass. In modern parlance such a non-physical being would be called higher dimensional.

You might want to look up the mass of a photon

Also how do you expect this spirit was visible to the eye on the light spectrum not being physical or having any energy

It could affect consciousness directly.

I'm not sure how this argument works with the idea that a spirit lacks mass, energy, or physical presence. You would need to be able exert some type of influence on the electrical or chemical signals in the brain to create a perception of any sort, yet saying a spirit is non-physical removes any possibility of interaction with anything in the physical world, it would be undetectable by brains or equipment of any sort. It seems these ideas are incompatible. If spirits exists and are detectable in any way, they must have a way of interacting with the physical world
