We cannot disconnect the physical with the divine, as it arises from the divine and it makes sense that it is maintained by the same.
It can be understood and approached from different perspectives.
To answer more fully, I'll take what Albert said earlier and elaborate some,
"Bodies operate in a manner that is very sophisticated because they were designed by intelligent beings. Bodies can't be given credit for their sophistication anymore than a machine can be given credit for its sophistication."
A metaphor related to the above. Say a person represents Consciousness. Consciousness decides to, or becomes involved in creating a computer.
This computer is pre-programmed some by the person. Say for whatever reason, the person (consciousness) decides to experience reality from the computer's limited perspective.
It transfers some of it's consciousness to the computer, or rather and more accurately, it decides to really believe/perceive that it is at least "part" computer. After a time though, it becomes overly identified with the computer concept that it or some other consciousness originally created. It starts to think that it is a computer.
This metaphor while somewhat helpful, still lacks, because what really happened is more complex and relative. A part of Consciousness split/fragmented off a part of it's awareness, it became stuck. That stuck part or level is a distorted reflection of it's source. Like the image that is reflected from a fun house mirror.
That IS the physical. However, once the physical came into being/temporary manifestation, spiritual beings and forces, became involved in shaping the physical.
This has very much included working on what we call physical bodies. Much of this work has come through a combo of ET modifying human bodies, and Consciousness gradually changing/morphing the physical from inside out. Aka us Souls that imbue these forms. It's a two way street of influence/interaction. We facilitate change by and through our very connection, and the physical experience causes change in us on a consciousness level.
In a sense, there is no real separation, but rather different levels and states of focus. Or, like above, we can either believe/perceive we are more the computer, or more the person who created same. Of course, the true reality always was and always will be, that we are the person who created same or temporarily believed we were the computer.
Another metaphor might help. All is essentially and at it's core essence, pure White Light (Source). However, our Souls/Spirits, the individualized parts/aspects of Source are like prisms.
We either let that pure White Light shine through us clearly and it remains it's true essence and manifestation, White Light, or through our will/thoughts/choices, we have a distorting affect on the pure White LIght and we refract that White Light into many different, seemingly separated "colors".
The physical and many other dimensions ARE the colors that came into perceptual existence when a number of Souls distorted that flow of Light through themselves.
But again, beings fully intune with the White Light, and nearly so, also became involved and have been influencing and modifying those various refracted levels since, in the hopes of facilitating us getting back to Reality.
Reality is Love, Source, the White Light. It's the Alpha, and the Omega. It is a circle, it's complete unto itself.
Putting the temporarily refracted manifestations on any kind of pedestal is VERY limiting.
This is the very meaning in the Bible of the commandment to not worship idols. The form is the idol, the refraction is the idol, people get caught up in the forms and the refraction's and they worship/idolize same.
I'm not sure I can explain it any more clearly than this. But yes, Divine beings and intelligences have certainly been involved with the shaping of the physical since it's manifestation.
Oddly, the physical is a paradox in the sense that it's both the result of error/lack of attunement to Source and PUL, and yet, at the same time, it's the suffering impetus and facilitator to get many Souls back to conscious union with their Source and true natures.
The ideal attitude towards the physical, is that of detached appreciation/gratitude for it's role in facilitation of growth/remembrance back to our true heritage. Thankfulness always helps, but putting it on any kind of pedestal or worship of the forms, is very innately limiting.
Imagining/creating form in and of itself is not inherently or innately limiting. It's part of our creative side. It's Consciousness artistic expression in action.
What was the limiting part of it all, was some Consciousnesses deciding to go into another Being's creation of forms, and they started to change the forms according to their whims. They decided to go into/become the forms. This manifested inharmony. This led to two things happening. Densification and distortion of those forms, and stuckness of some of Consciousness in relation/connection to those forms.
That is when what we perceive as the physical, came into temporary manifestation. Both the Creator of the original forms, and many of Co-Creator's friends/associates/co workers, have been trying to retrieve the ones who started this and/or who got stuck in the whole thing otherwise.
That Co-Creator is Yeshua's "Disk"/Spirit. He was quite "proud" of (more delighted in) the creation of forms and patterns he had come up with. At first he was delighted that his fellow siblings and/or children took delight in his creation as well.
But he wasn't too happy when some of them starting going into them and changing the patterns, etc. And he was grieved by their increasing suffering, as they became more and more stuck in the reflected, distorted versions of the forms they had temporarily manifested.
Essentially "belief system" versions of his creation and those forms.
All of this is very hard to explain accurately, as words don't really suffice. It's like communicating in symbolic metaphors of metaphors.
One thing I'm farily certain of, it's not really about a vacation from eternity. Or, if it was, it was unconscious and the consequences and reprocussions weren't really pre-perceived. It's kind of like, crap, why did we do that? Well, now that we enacted it, we got to see it through and make it right.
That latter is what "karma" is and all about. It's the inner knowingness that we have to heal/retrieve it and ourselves.
There really isn't judgment involved in the sense of being bad or negative. It's more like, "well, kids will be kids, make some mistakes, but they'll eventually pick the right path". However, sometimes some of the children take it too far, and cause too much problems for others, and that's when the Co-Creator Beings and Source aren't particularly happy or as tolerant.
