118:3.7 All [[patterns]] of [[reality]] occupy [[space]] on the [[material]] levels, but [[spirit]] [[patterns]] only exist in [[relation]] to [[space]]; they do not occupy or displace space, neither do they contain it. But to us the master [[riddle]] of [[space]] pertains to the [[pattern]] of an [[idea]]. When we enter the [[mind]] [[domain]], we encounter many a [[puzzle]]. Does the pattern—the [[reality]]—of an [[idea]] occupy [[space]]? We really do not know, albeit we are sure that an [[idea]] [[pattern]] does not contain [[space]]. But it would hardly be safe to [[postulate]] that the immaterial is always nonspatial. | 118:3.7 All [[patterns]] of [[reality]] occupy [[space]] on the [[material]] levels, but [[spirit]] [[patterns]] only exist in [[relation]] to [[space]]; they do not occupy or displace space, neither do they contain it.
