NAKEDNESS (LOWER ASPECT)
A symbol of a state of ignorance, a lack of
ideas and opinions (clothes). As all external states have analogous
reference to internal states, this condition is emblematic of an
empty state of soul.
"And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves
aprons.' - GENESIS. iii. 7.
And both the emotions and the mind perceive their utter nakedness or
ignorance, that is, they recognize the necessity for further
evolution. Fig leaves, so used, signify concealment of the inward
growth of the Spirit.
“Now when Adam and Eve were awakened in the bestial property, the
beast stood there naked and bare. When the Image of the Heavenly
Essence did disappear, then the bestial property was manifest." -
BOEHME, Mysterium Magnum, p. 96.
“By nakedness is signified ignorance of truth." - SWEDENBORG,
Apocalypse Revealed, n. 706.
