Symbols - What does heaven look like
Fountain
Symbolic of rising kundalini energy.
The fountain needs to be distinguished symbolically from both a spring and a waterfall, as fountain water goes ‘up’ symbolically – rises – whereas waterfall and spring water comes ‘down’ symbolically.
The symbolism can as a consequence be highly confusing as where any structure that has falling water [as in the pictures] is shown is symbolically a waterfall not a fountain! Where the structure is thus a source of water pouring down on those below or being gathered into a cup or chalice we have the equivalent of a waterfall or spring with Rivers and streams. Notice the use of the garden, musical instruments and nakedness. |
