Are the shadow and vase equally real? Scripture says that we should fix our eyes on that which is invisible rather than that which is visible, for that which is visible is fleeting, while that which invisible is eternal. Does Being by its essence entail a trade-off between the eternal and real and invisible, on the one hand, and the palpable yet unreal? Odd, isn't it, that both the Platonic tradition and Christianity seeks being in that which, by every outward appearance, has no being whatsoever. Assuming that Heaven is both real and visible and palpable, why is that which is most real here on earth is the least tangible?
