Spiritual concepts
Form
That level [see Levels and layers ] of vibrational ordered energy which is capable of being perceived by our 5 senses. In effect, Spirit which is perceptible. It is more than likely that other things – animals, birds, fish and so on can perceive slightly different levels of ordered energy to us. This level appears ‘solid’ and ‘real’ because our 5 senses are programmed to make it appear so, but it is no different to the other ordered energy, it is the same stuff.
