The Spiritual World: Mystery, Multiplicity, Analogy, Harmony
The general appearance of the spiritual world is the topic of this short section. Being invisible, it is not something that is easily fathomed, nor are its traces easily observed. However, three definite notions about the spiritual world are represented here: it is composed of a multiplicity of realms, it corresponds by analogy to the phenomenal world, and it operates in mystic harmony.
