Spiritual vs. Phenomenal

The spiritual world is like unto the phenomenal world. They are the exact counterpart of each other. Whatever objects appear in this world of existence are the outer pictures of the world of heaven.

Reading the book: The Arc of Ascent by John S. Hatcher. Highly recommended – I am starting to understand better the statement of human purpose in the short obligatory prayer: “I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee”. In very brief, to ‘know’ God means practicing reflecting the attributes of God (as instructed by the Manifestations), and to ‘worship’ refers to the actions performed in service. There is so much more to it – and I hope to be able to understand better what the Arc of Descent and Ascent mean by the end of the book.
