- This symbolizes potential for life, chaos preceding creation, and birth metaphors, not literal water.
Symbols and Spiritual Reality

- Symbols guide our minds towards spiritual understanding, accessible through revelation.

- Large bodies of water also represent chaos before creation and the potential of unformed reality.
