All that exists exists in one of three realms. What is a realm? A realm is a domain or jurisdiction, such as a kingdom or an area of operation. A realm can be physical, but it also can be spiritual or even figurative, as in a field of study.

All that exists exists in one of three realms: 1) the Supernatural Realm, 2) the Preternatural Realm, or 3) the Natural Realm.

We are most familiar with the Natural Realm because it is sensible, or rather that we perceive much of the Natural Realm through our five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling, or tasting. The Natural Realm is first known to us through what is physically present. All present in the Natural Realm was created from nothing by God.

The Preternatural Realm is a spiritual realm that is not sensible through the human five senses. This realm includes both angels and demons. This realm was wholly created by God.

The Supernatural Realm is the simplest and most complex realm of the three. The Supernatural Realm consists of God and is uncreated as God is uncreated. The Supernatural Realm has always existed and is eternal. Without God’s indulgence, the Supernatural Realm is beyond the five senses of humans.

This is a brief description of the three realms. Much more will be shared about these realms, and your understanding of both the roles of the three realms and their significance will be revealed as we use them in further studies.

For now, reflect on the existence of the three realms. Consider our presence in the Natural.

May the peace of Christ in the womb of Mary be with you.
