not sure whether this is what you're referring to, but...
Many philosophers throughout history (plato, etc) have believed in duality, and christianity has lots of tendencies toward this idea. Its that there is a separation b/w mind and body, that every "fixed" form (things on earth that you can see and touch) also have a transcendent form (like a spiritual part of it that you cant see that is floating around in the world). An example: the soul. If you believe that your spirit will outlast your body, you believe in mind-body dualism.
