That boils down to the god of the gaps fallacy.

What are you proposing precisely? That an entity or agent dwells inside each person that is incapable of being detected (i.e. doesn't react with our world of matter and energy), but then can at times interact with our world of matter and energy?

How does this happen? Does this agent move electrons and atoms in ways and force chemical reactions that would not naturally occur? If it did this, this could be detected.

No it does not by default get answered by god but it is a question to be pondered.

I'll try to explain further. It isn't that some other entity invades us. I look at it as god or this life force is everywhere and if it's everywhere than it's inside of us also. Think of it as what's inside is like a drop of the ocean.

Kabir says,
“All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.”

This experience is inside of us. I don't know what it's limits are and I believe that some chemical changes probably do occur inside me because I feel a lot different when I do this thing.


Here's another quote from Kabir.

“Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
you will not find me in the stupas,
not in Indian shrine rooms,
nor in synagogues,
nor in cathedrals:
not in masses,
nor kirtans,
not in legs winding around your own neck,
nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
When you really look for me,
you will see me instantly —
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.”
― Kabir
