Is the universe spiritual or material?
The Urantia Book says,
"'God is spirit,' but Paradise is not. The material universe is always the arena wherein take place all spiritual activities; spirit beings and spirit ascenders live and work on physical spheres of material reality." [UB 139]
"Between you and God there is a tremendous distance (physical space) to be traversed. There likewise exists a great gulf of spiritual differential which must be bridged; but notwithstanding all that physically and spiritually separates you from the Paradise personal presence of God, stop and ponder the solemn fact that God lives within you; he has in his own way already bridged the gulf. He has sent of himself, his spirit, to live in you and to toil with you as you pursue your eternal universe career." [UB 39]
Below is a fraction of the vast universe we will be traversing in our quest to find God:
"When men search for God, they are searching for everything.
When they find God, they have found everything."
