"Whether we believe it or not, that higher reality isn't itself abstract; it's concrete. What IS abstract is our knowledge of it. Abstraction is a process our minds engage in, so that we can hold vast amounts of knowledge. When we "abstract," we take all the relevant similarities and differences among concrete things and group them into higher-level concepts."
