I know many here in R&S do not believe in the supernatural, but could an idea be considered as a type of supernatural material/element? It is not physical (arguably), and ideas cannot be quantified, or measured, so are they "supernatural?"
It takes a certain amount of "mental energy" to form and process an idea. Does this "mental energy" form spiritual articles into corporeality?

My personal take is, no, that thought/idea has no tangible spiritual reference. If this were so, then a communication would be possible with many great thoughts that have since been lost---that is, granted one accepts the idea of a spiritual plane that one may access.
Ideas have, however, been spiritual inspiration for many. As an idea takes on life and men are moved to explore its potential, great things may be achieved. It all begins with an idea, though.
Ideas may come and go, live on in the minds of men or be forgotten, but the human spirit, that which survives in the face of suffering and reveals its beauty and dignity, will always live on, so long as there is a man to draw breath.
This is the real definition of the spiritual: that which allows dignity in the face of adversity, and facing adversity with such dignity is also wonderful ideal for us all to aspire to.

An idea, like many other things going on in our bodies, are results of electrical charges in the brain. I do beleive in the supernatural. I am a Christian, but I don't have some Gnostic idea that everything that isn't physical is spiritual and therefore good.

Panangel has a good one there. Have that saved myself.
Personification.
Spiritual truths are alive.
These truths are powerful.
These change lives and the course of lives.
As far as an corporeal existence - no. These are an energy that is measurably by a person subjectively.

Here we go again...skating on the thin ice of Quatum Physics!
What is the power of thought and the mind?
When we take a serious look at the 100th monkey theory, it would seem is if thought were an entity of it's own, capable of traveling from one mind to another without any physical contact or communication taking place.
...and great minds will always ponder what maybe possible!

The barghest. It could be a lot like a werewolf, but so very very different. One of them was said to be able to appear in the form of a headless man, a headless woman, a cat, a dog, a rabbit, and most importantly, a BIG BLACK DOG. It's most well known for appearing in the last form. It's also known by other spellings, including: Bargtjest, Bo-guest, Bargheist, Bargeist, Barguist, Bargest and Barguest.

If the ideas are formed by physical energy and stored in physical media (brains, books, and disks), they are not supernatural.
