Allah’s Throne Was On The Water
The Quran says that God made every living thing from water (21:30). It also says that Allah’s throne was on the water (11:7). Modern science now confirms that all live evolved out of water. Every human being still goes through a water-breathing stage while in the womb. Only later in the gestation period do the gills disappear and oxygenbreathing lungs develop. But the Quran, like other scriptures, uses physical phenomena to represent non-physical phenomena. The visible is used to represent the invisible. The Bible says that when God breathed into mad the breath of life, man became a living soul. “Living,” in the sacred language, refers to divine life. Divine men and women are “created from water.” The Two Roads There are two basic approaches to spiritual cultivation, energy and consciousness. The energy approach seeks to awaken the kundalini force and the consciousness approach incorporates elements of the other. The Consciousness Approach Water symbolizes attainment of the state of trance in the consciousness approach.
When the meditator falls into trance he feels as though he is being submerged under water. He may feel like he is floating. Trance is the very first step toward achieving godhead in the consciousness approach. Trance gives access to the subconscious where the power to effect inner change exists. That divinity lies sleeping in the deep conscious was depicted as Ausar (Osiris) laying at the bottom of the Nile River in Egypt. That also meant that to access the god part in man one has to go into trance (Nile river).
