In the Eucharist they are really indentifying the body as spirit, which it is in fact, for beyond any metaphor, the body is where all the energies are. But leave it to the men in robes to complicate things to pretend to be speaking of "something else" but this is all unecessary "mystery speak" just to keep mythic metaphors held together. If the body is the temple of the soul, here we are back to the body again and the mind/body/spirit problem is really no problem, all is the same thing. Speaking of spirit is not adding anything real, we are always led back to the body when one peers past the mumbo jumbo. ( brummys physical resurrection nonsense)
There are the purer material elements of water & light, the latter being the most etherial of the material universe, light is life, light illuminates, light is energy. Even those dear men in robes seriously began to realize in essence they were seeing God in the streaming light down thru the Cathedral stained glass windows. Well keep it simple stupid, they finally got the real part right. Light is life & light is one of the supreme causes and the the source of everything we call life on this planet ( and sustains the body)
Goethe's final words: "More Light."....(light is the ultimate metaphor, try living without it)

Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that's been our unifying cry, "More Light." SunLight. TorchLight. CandleLight. Neon, incandescent Lights that banish the darkness from our caves to illuminate our road, the insides of our refrigerators. Big floods for the night games at Soldier's Field. Little tiny flashLights for those books we read under the covers when we're supposed to be asleep. Light is more than watts and footcandles. Light is metaphor... Thy Word is a Lamp unto my Feet... /Amy Grant/ ...Rage rage against the dying of the Light. ...Lead, kindly light, amid the circling gloom, Lead thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead thou me on. Arise, shine, for thy light has come. ...
Light is knowledge, Light is life, Light is Light!
