Water: Unconscious laws.

Water: Unconscious laws.

The presence of laws in the created world, in unconscious form.

Genesis 1:2

Water is not one of the created things; it is not a separate definition. God created the heavens and the earth, and then the second verse describes this world.

The earth existed in a lifeless and unconscious form. The unconsciously existing world is darkness, the unconscious existence of the laws is water, and the unconscious existence of the network of relationships between the laws is the deep.

Water represents the laws that we do not yet know. They are present unconsciously because consciousness has not yet come to know them.

The past and the future are also water, because they exist unconsciously, while consciousness is always present. Knowing takes place in time; therefore, consciousness is always present. Experiences appear before consciousness in such an order that the laws and the network of relationships between them may gradually be recognized. Therefore, those experiences that have already passed, and those that have not yet appeared before consciousness, also exist unconsciously.

Dry land continuously appears in the present. From the sea, the present experience continuously emerges, making known to us those laws that govern the world which we are already capable of coming to know.
