Symbols - What does heaven look like
Abyss
A gap between vibrational layers of energy often discovered during spiritual experience, where energy is consumed and recycled. There is more than one abyss, as some are used also as a protective device to stop further spiritual travel. For more details the concepts section has a detailed explanation - see Abyss.
The Map of the Egg below indicates where abysses have been found. There is an abyss [shown in black] between the Fire and symbolic Planet levels. There is an abyss between the Inner and Inward Court. The outside of the Egg is its own abyss.
