The '''Spiritual Realm''' is the realm of existence in the [[cosmere]] that contains the essence or soul of things. In this Realm, the [[Connection|interconnection]] between objects, people, and ideals are made apparent.{{tes ref|12}}
Everything in the cosmere has a Spiritual aspect, a soul, which represents the idealized form or concept upon which their existence is based.{{tes ref|12}} Among sentient creatures, this soul is sometimes described as a [[Spiritweb]]. Several manifestations of [[Investiture]]

The Spiritual Realm is not a place.{{wob ref|11708}} The Spiritual Realm is made up entirely of [[Investiture]] in the form of [[Spiritweb]]s and the [[Connection]]s between them.{{wob ref|8812}}{{wob ref|9280}} As such, time and space are “irrelevant” or “compounded into one” in the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|6129}} This timelessness means that the Spiritual Realm breaks causality, but in a controlled way{{wob ref|9286}}

[[Vorinism]] equates the Spiritual Realm with the [[Tranquiline Halls]]{{book ref|sa1|16}}{{book ref|sa1|i|8}} and the [[One]] teaches that the Spiritual Realm is the same as the [[Beyond]].{{wob ref|1729}}
