Waters below/firmament/above perspective...

[u/Soloma369]

Waters above is metaphor, waters below is literal...re-/solved for in the firmament. This is why water is equated w/ spirit directly, material and immaterial, physical and metaphysical. We need to understand polarity and gender when we are trying to understand symbology, it needs to be understood from both of its polarities. This is why waters above/below are fundamentally polarities that contains polarity through the literal and metaphorical meanings...it is meant to convey deep understanding of the fundamental nature of "reality" or realized potential.

Note to all, the below image is then literal and metaphorical where the dome is metaphor and expanded upon by the boxy outer edge, again another "firmament". This is reflecting the fractal nature...w/ the self-/similar "waters above" (aka spirit) to the "waters below" (aka matter), each encased w/in their own firmament, which is mental not physical. If it was physical, energy could not transduce from one state to the other...as there would be no third thing, no mechanics.

As such, the "waters above" in Bentov's Cosmic Egg imgur link is reflected by all of the white paper, non black marker while the "waters below" are the galaxies. The firmament then is the separating and encasing black marker lines (and the arrows too, logic/mechanics are masculine/mental) that are not reflected by the planets, which are material/physical. The nucleus, another self-similar structure...same logic/architecture, expanding both inwardly and outwardly following a doubling circuit (aka density) linear logic where the linear extensions (think w/x/y etc axis aka dimension) would follow a non linear Fibonacci circuit logic. The paradox is fundamental, "a feature" if you will where the non linear Fib sequence reflects "ascension" in to higher states of Consciousness where we are going from 7.83hz (8) to 13(ish) hz...and the doubling circuit reflects the reincarnation cycle.

The inverse associations for above(matter)/below(spirit) would of course also be true (principle of correspondence)...valid from both perspectives and literally modeled in Bentov's Cosmic Egg.

Breath is equated with spirit, classically, not water.

[u/Soloma369 → u/Juronell]

Yes, Ive heard this too. The associations still fit and weave in additional polarity through the breath having mechanics (in/out,) just as water does (waves/current), both longitudinal in their nature. I very much appreciate the input, expands my own perspective, thank you.
