2. There's more than one way to answer this, and I would say they're all right, more or less. I recall back in 2005, approximately. There was this dude that I used to talk to late at night(or very early) in the AOL Metaphysics room, his screen name was DewHickey, so yeah, he was the (spiritual) metaphysics guy, and there was this one other guy his screen name was CoolMedCat, and he was the science physics guy, and I would say I learned more from the latter, but anyway. One night I did ask Dew this very question, and he very matter of factly said "It's made of light". So you could say that answer stuck with me. Here it is nearly two decades later.
You could say that it's made of energy, with "light" being a more descriptive form of that, but this isn't the visible portion of the EM Spectrum we're talking about here. More like an unknown element of the spectrum. We also know that energy and matter are just different manifestations of the same fundamental concept, which is to say, it could be a combination of subtle material as well as energy, but what would be key here is that it would not be gross material since its' existence would be so independent of spatial dimensions that it would be understood, for all intents and purposes, to function as a zero volume parameter. Which aligns with the zero volume aspect of the primordial. This is consciousness we are talking about here, and as such, not only precedes the spatial dimensions, but is a creator of them via a process of subconscious expansion, usually. This consciousness is more than likely a most fundamental aspect of existence.

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.

I've decided to make this into an eight part blog, as opposed to cramming everything into one, and also so we don't have to work as hard, or for as long - all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
