Symbols - What does heaven look like
Hill
Symbolic of a cone. As we should be aware, however, the size may indicate something a little more important.
A small hill may simply be a small soul cone – but the larger it gets the more likely it is that it is a symbolic mountain. Very very large hills thus have the same symbolic meaning as mountains.
Symbolically each hill should appear to rise spiritually from the Earth level through Water [a moat, the sea, a ditch] up through the Air to the Aether level. Its head should be in the clouds, its feet on the earth. Below, we may find Caves that tunnel below the mountain to get us to the Underworld or even Hell. As before the symbolism is identical to that of the Mountain.
