Conservation of Matter and Energy

Elsewhere I talk about spiritual information as being some kind of barely developed sense organ, perceiving some sort of reality that cannot be seen otherwise.

This leads to a serious issue - how does this information exchange take place without disrupting the conservation of energy in our better known space and time continuum? (a related problem if if "souls" are real, why can't their mass be measured? I won't get into this, because I think they aren't.)

The only thing I have come up with so far is the possibility that the exchange of information is an energy neutral transaction. What I mean is that whatever amount of energy, or even some thing more basic than energy that subsumes our concept, has to be taken from the spiritual plane to transfer the information, an equal amount of energy is transmuted back out of our "normal" space.

This exchange would also have to be "friction-free", it would not obey the second law of thermodynamics (it wouldn't have to). There would be no waste, no heat produced, or at least not in our known universe.

What I mean is, imagine our universe as we currently think we know it. In that universe is a little "machine", the poorly developed organ in our brain, that is capable of receiving intact sense data from another "dimension" - but in order to receive it, exactly the same amount of energy represented by the data is returned to the other "dimension". Perhaps the only change here becomes the slight alteration of chemicals in our brain, even in such a way that no energy has increased - ie it is lost elsewhere. In the other "dimension", of course, the energy we trade might be disorganised, the entropical byproduct of the reaction. We cannot see it or measure it, though, because it has changed state.

This may sound far fetched, and maybe still be poorly thought out, but it is easy to draw parallels to scientific knowledge in less "advanced" times. Where does the wood go when we burn it? It had mass! Now it is just heat and . . . what? Well, now of course we know that the gas produced plus the mass transformed to energy equals the original mass of the wood - but there certainly was a time when this was all a fantastic mystery.
