8. How did this spiritual realm come into being?

1. As above so below, as within so without. In Hermetic Qabalah, or, the Tree Of Life. There are two very significant emanations; they are the first, and the tenth. The first and the last - 10 is a reflection of 01 as initially stated. The archangel of the first, Metatron : meta, Greek for that which transcends, is above(the spirit), or, above and beyond, and for the tenth : Sandalphon : sandal, at the foot, or, that which is below(the soul). These two sephiroth are at the head, and at the foot of what is commonly referred "the pillar of consciousness". It is the middle pillar, and the subject of many prominent occult rituals, if that's your thing.

When it comes to the "spirit" and the "soul". I have devised my own little analogy for these, not so long ago. It is the analogy of the Hydra. The body of the Hydra represents primordial spirit, while the 'heads' represent individual manifestations, perspectives(or the souls) of the 'body' - the great spirit reservoir, sometimes referred as 'the Guf', tree or treasury of souls.

The primordial juggernaut, forever transcending the existential polarities of the Absolute; establishing a medium by which to experience via its' heads of existence. The heads come and go, where one may depart, two may grow.

I'm at a loss. I suppose it's time for the Joker Of Suicide again.

Briefly, the reflective source. Reminiscent of the second of twelve labors to be performed by Heracles involving the Lernaean Hydra.

The primordial juggernaut forever spiraling through nothingness/somethingness; existence/non-existence.

Establishing a medium by which to experience via its heads of existence. The heads come and go, where one may depart two may grow.
