Commentary

...The two oceans of reality, one of inner existence and one of the outer world, have been separated by an illusion of mind and flesh. The veil is broken by a new sight and wisdom, as represented by the third eye and radiating light, that recognize the harmony of its existence with that of the world outside. The ocean of consciousness can be seen erupting from the center figure’s head as it opens completely, and falls into a rushing sphere around him. The sphere is the last barrier between his world and the outside, and it is breaking like an egg under the pressure of light and realization. As the boundaries are broken his consciousness crashes over the falling ocean of the outside world to overwhelm it with the serenity of his awareness. The large eye formed by these waves parallels the figure’s smaller third eye to represent the simultaneous view of the world and one’s self.
