Deeper beauty

I quote the NYT:

the world we see around us is, as the Nobel laureate physicist Steven Weinberg has put it, “only an imperfect reflection of a deeper and more beautiful reality.”
(Where Protons Will Play, by Jim Holt, January 14, 2007)

Now doesn't that sound mystical and metaphysical and all that? Incidentally, I'm reading a great book by Dr. John Hatcher titled Close Connections: the Bridge between Spiritual and Physical Reality that goes into some detail about the nature of the link between physical and spiritual reality. Warning: it's for the serious reader only.
