How so? The word “surpass” here is completely clear; there is nothing metaphorical about it unless it’s being ignored, and the reason is as follows:
It was mentioned that the Otherworld is higher than the heavens and the human world, and here the word “higher” indicates elevation in the literal sense, meaning that the Otherworld is a divine and spiritual realm that is superior in its nature, and so on. Then it is said that it is a celestial world that surpasses dimensions, and the word “surpass” literally means exceeding the dimensions, not something else. Therefore, up to now, I see no excuse to reject this. That’s why I think I will open a topic if the reason is truly based on something like this, because I see it as a refusal to accept reality and the evidence, not that the evidence is insufficient—everything is clear.
You have the phrase “higher than the heavens and the human world,” which here means divine elevation and the divine and spiritual nature of the Otherworld, which is higher than the heavens and the human world. Then later in the next sentence, it is said that it is a celestial world that surpasses dimensions, and in this context, “surpass” really means to exceed the dimensions, not its nature—because its nature was already mentioned. The term “surpass” is used to refer to something that exceeds something else directly. There are only those who will object and say it’s just a celestial world, perhaps implying this surpassing and so on, but this is not correct because prior to that sentence it was already indicated by the word “higher.”
