Plato said that the ultimate reality (or realities) are ideas. The truth is ultimately formal, not material. The ideas that we have in our minds of various things are a recall of ideas that actually exist in a spiritual realm, what we would call a “supratemporal realm,” a realm above and beyond this world of physical things that we perceive every day.
