In this place, you will find the ideal tree, the ideal house, the ideal...well...everything. It has existed since the beginning in the perfect state in which it does and shall continue to be, never changing. Our world is imperfect however, because it is made of matter. There are two substances in the universe, matter and ideas. The Demiurge impresses these ideas upon the matter, but the matter is imperfect, and serves as a barrier preventing our ability to change our frame of reference. It is because we are encased in an imperfect shell that we cannot rise above sensory perceptions and attain an understanding of the ideal.
