The Metaphor

Everything we see about us is but a reflection of that which is above.
A king in our world reflects dominion above.
The sweetness of a fruit reflects the sweetness of the wisdom above.
The form of the human body reflects the inner structure of the cosmos, so that each limb and organ parallels a particular Divine force.

Each of these things descends from its Godly place into our material realm to take tangible form—so that we can grasp those Godly concepts from which they extend.
Even those inventions that only arose in the modern era were hidden all this time within the Creation, waiting for us to discover them and reconnect them with their Godly source and meaning.
