On the other hand we might think of what we call the 'physical realities' of our bodies to be merely shadows of the TRUE reality, the supra-reality, the hyper-reality which is the Creator. |
I think that's it precisely.
Not unlike when Moses was told to build the tabernacle precisely according to the pattern he saw on the mountain.
We don't know much about the spirit realm, but evidently, it contains things which can be "copied" here on earth.
Even Jesus said there were many "mansions" in His Father's house. What kind of Spirit realm reality does that point to?
