I meant: No effect is greater than it’s cause”

Thank you Father. It’s good to be reminded that the spirit is the voice and that the physical is the echo. The spiritual is not an icon for the physical, but the physical is an icon for the spiritual. No cause is greater than its effect, so that to apply analogy with equal merit in both directions I think does injustice to what is of the higher order. In other words, while I think it is helpful to be aided in understanding the divine order through anthropomorphisms, it is possible if we go too far, that we can find ourselves risking the distortion of our understanding of the meaning and purpose for our God-given gifts. Thanks again.
