Symbols - What does heaven look like
Celestial pole
See Hourglass, Egg, Cone and Matrix.
There is a figurative pole that marks out the centre of ascent and descent of the cones. In spiritual terms this is termed the celestial pole………..
Other terms for this ‘pole’ include the ‘Axis Mundi’ or ‘World Axis’ or ‘Cosmic Axis’ or ‘Cosmic Tree’.
The celestial pole may be ‘seen’ in visions and dreams as a pole or a column or a tree trunk rising from the plain of the soul cone.
It is important to realise that wherever you are in the egg, the pole effectively rises up to the centre.
