Mmm. Living Logos. Love that image. Good phrase.
When my eldest daughter's grandfather died, he came to visit with me. I didn't even know he was seriously ill (long story, but this is the father of my EX husband, so...), let alone know he had died. But he came to me as clear as anything, and I recognised him instantly. I had always thought he didn't like me, but it seems he did, and he just came to say goodbye. We settled anything that needed to be settled (not that there was a lot of bad blood between us or anything) and he went, and I haven't seen him again, though he apparently shows up around my daughter's place from time to time.
The presence I experienced was like the material person, but much... I don't know... lighter? Relieved of various burdens, I guess? He seemed much more "present" than he had while he was alive, like... more vividly the essence of his character, without the veils and fog that seem to mute us in the material form. Does that even make sense? It's extremely difficult to describe.
Was this a "copy" or a "reflection"? Well, given that he was the same but different (better different, joyful, etc.), I'd say a reflection. A copy would have been grumpy and judgemental, both traits he exhibited freely in the flesh, but he was none of that when he came to me.
I dunno, though. I don't know that a model formed in material space can ever really represent what happens in Astral or greater space.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
