This is one of the clearer things I’ve ever read on the relationship of spirit and physical existence:
Traditional knowledge informs us that there are fundamental Laws according to which the entire Universe is made manifest.
This Universe, in turn, is composed of many ‘Worlds’ which could be said to be ‘nested’ at vastly varying levels within and among each other. In this respect an order of greater materiality develops along with the ‘descent’ toward Worlds of a ‘lower’ or ‘denser’ scale; reciprocally a ‘lightening’ occurs with the ‘ascent’ toward ‘higher’ or ‘finer’ Worlds. With this condensing of materiality that occurs as we approach Worlds of a lower order, there is a corresponding ‘condensation’ of the Laws regulating their existence. Thus it can be said that Worlds of differing levels will be subject to a correspondingly greater or lesser number of Laws—those of the Primary order as well as all laws corresponding to Secondary and Tertiary, etc. orders of existence inclusively. ➡
