The lesson, he said, may be that time and space are only illusions or approximations, emerging somehow from something more primitive and fundamental about nature...

I like this. It allows for the view that the fundamental reality and nature of existence is that it is spiritual. This material, mortal, earthly perception of existence is an illusion and when we allow the influence of spiritual reality to come into our experience (the reality that Jesus Christ demonstrated - overcoming every human problem and limitation) we realize our true nature and existence as spiritual "children of God" - spiritual offspring of a spiritual Source.

Please note that the quote you cited ends with the words "something more primitive and fundamental about nature", where by 'nature' is meant 'the physical world'.

Your# 43.....nope.

....experience (the reality that Jesus Christ demonstrated - overcoming every human problem and limitation) we realize our true nature and existence as spiritual "children of God" - spiritual offspring of a spiritual Source.

Jesus (the Creator-Blood-Redeemer God, second Eternal person of the Trinity

[Jesus was NEVER a pre-existing angel or spirit creature,...neither were we human creatures]...

There NEVER was a time Jesus did not exist!

There WAS a time when we creatures and all creation Did Not Exist!

When Jesus incarnated (God became FLESH) He Bodily/Materially RESURRECTED from among the dead ones....(St. Luke 24:39)

At His 2nd comings......believer too will resurrect same as He,.....Bodily!

Angels have only single-natures and are created spirit creatures,...

......Humans are creatures having BOTH Material and spiritual natures...

ie.,......we creatures are NOT God,....never were....The creation is NOT God-the-Creator,...

The INFINITE Creator-Redeemer-God created thisFINITE universe,...Ex-Nihilo ( From/out of NOTHING)...

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

(Tonight is 1st lighting!)

Hanukkah Tree.....Hanukkah is another of Jesus' MIRACLES!

Shalom Shalom!

See the unique LIGHT of The World, Creator/God Jesus!.....that ain't natural light!

:-)
