BORN AGAIN, OR FROM ABOVE

Symbolic of the consciousness raised from the lower mind to the higher, which is the second birth.

"Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." - JOHN iii. 5.

Except an ego be raised morally and purified by truth (water) and the buddhic function (fire) he cannot enter into the buddhic consciousness. The first birth is the entrance of the ego into the underworld or cycle of the lower life. When the ego dies to the lower life, he is reborn into the higher.
