BIBLE VERSES

SHIP OR BOAT ON THE SEA

A symbol of the lower mental, or of the causal vehicle of the soul. "But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary." - MATTHEW xiv. 24.

This "warring of the elements " signifies the transferring of the lower astral impressions to a higher plane, that is, the transmutation of lower qualities into higher. It takes place amid much disturbance in the lower mind, and is effected only through the power of the Christ within the lower mental vehicle (ship), which is an aspect of the lower ego.
