BIBLE VERSES

GINUNGA-GAP, THE YAWNING GULF 

A symbol of primordial formless matter in space, prior to the involution of spirit.

"It was time's morning when Ymer lived. There was no sand, no sea, no cooling billows; earth there was none, no lofty heaven; only the Gulf of Ginunga, but no grass." - The Voluspa.

At the dawn of manifestation, the potential lay dormant. There was nothing firm, no outflow of life. There was no lower nature, nor higher nature; only chaos, and no growth from below.
