Here's the definition of reality from an unimpeachable source — the Oxford English Dictionary. Which I'm thrilled to say is now a free, on-line resource!!!

I'm going to have to remember that.

Man, made in the image and likeness of God, already bridges the gap between the temporal and the spiritual. In man, they are not separate.

I disagree. They are separated by that bridge over the gap. They have both in their aspect, and one aspect can affect the other, but each aspect is separate.

They are separated by that bridge over the gap.

What bridge?

I do not understand what you mean by this "gap."

Dear Mark, it seems to me the two cannot be separable while a person lives. For when the soul departs (the spiritual principle), the body (the temporal principle) dies.
