Of the three terms: Matter, Energy, and Spirit, the first two are manifestations of “one thing” so they are convertible one to the other. Matter is then commonly referred to as Energy condensed. Einstein’s equation:
E = mc2
Shows this relation between the two. A small amount of matter releases a huge amount of energy.
It’s okay to say that Science knows a good deal of it all and it continues to evolve for learning more and perfecting towards ever better levels of knowledge. For example, matter is now a minority component of the Universe and because of that Cosmological evidence, scientists are after new entities, so to say, such as dark matter and dark energy.
Another curiosity among all these new facts is that energy itself bends to a gravitational field. This is important for energy has no mass.
To further enhance this picture, a great debate between mind and brain was battled up and down and now, even life itself, is promised to be recreated in laboratories, as the renowned Genoma Project has bequeathed us.
To add to these viewpoints, the French word esprit, for example, still keeps both the meaning of “mind” and the meaning of “spirit”, so one imagines that they — francophone speakers — perhaps do not bother much whether one is really crossing a borderline between the two, if there were indeed to be such a borderline between mind and spirit.

However the cases, there is yet one interesting sideline of it al.
Much before Science got the idea that mass was a condensed form of energy, the millenia Yogi philosophy had already long been saying so, perhaps they used different terms, but somehow they already knew it.
Surprisingly as that may sound, they would even say it with one outbreakingly extra detail: whereas mass is condensed energy, so also is energy a condensed form of Spirit.
