“Before the silver cord snaps, and the golden fountain is shattered, and the pitcher breaks at the fountain, and the wheel falls shattered into the pit.[1]”
[ עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא יֵרָתֵק (כתיב יֵרָחֵק) חֶבֶל הַכֶּסֶף וְתָרֻץ גֻּלַּת הַזָּהָב וְתִשָּׁבֶר כַּד עַל הַמַּבּוּעַ וְנָרֹץ הַגַּלְגַּל אֶל הַבּוֹר ]
The first English translators saw this ‘fountain’ as the source of life and an energetic field which they called the Golden Bowl.
While there is a lack of consensus among Biblical commentators and translators of newer English versions, such as the ‘New International Version,’ spiritually minded New Ageists generally agree that it is a sphere corresponding with the aura. In other words, we live inside a sphere. As I have pointed out elsewhere, we have two parts to our unseen nature, often called the spirit and the soul, or which I prefer to describe by their ancient Egyptian names, Ka and Ba. The Ka is an etheric double of our physical body, while the Ba is the divine component and source of our Vital Life Force, or Soul. I see it as our Golden Sphere.
Many Christian paintings show saints as having a golden halo around their heads. This most likely comes from the same intuitive concept – that we have a ‘Golden Sphere.’
