The spirit, if it could be seen with mortal eyes, would appear in bodily shape like a full-grown person with individual endowments that make it a counter-part of the body in which it resides, 'that which is temporal in the likeness of that which is spiritual.' (DC 772.) It was that which came from God and entered at birth into the infant body prepared by its mortal parents. The spirit was of the 'Lord from heaven.' The physical body was 'of the earth, earthy,' (2 Cor. 1547) or in other words, composed of the elements of which the things in the physical world are composed.
