Introduction
We have while we live on Earth some connection to the Ocean.
This post, though brief is all about this connection or rather the importance
of eh Ocean to our everyday life.
Earth’s One Ocean
There is only one ocean really. It is only us that has
divided it artificially into the five oceans of the world, which are the:
Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Artic oceans. These five oceans all
connects are form the one world ocean which is also connected to many of the world’s
rivers.
This one world ocean covers approximately 71% of the Earth’s
surface, making the Earth’s surface more ocean than land. In effect the ocean
is one of Earth’s greatest powers and one of the largest parts of the Earth.
It is said that this one ocean covers about 142 million
square miles.
The Universal Waters of Life
The Absolute has been likened to an Ocean and the sexual
waters from where all life springs has been likened to an Ocean. So in the
waters we find the origin of life and as Master Samael says, the ocean is the
chaos or the primordial waters of life of the Planet Earth. Or in other words
the oceans are the seminal entity of the Earth. As we come from the Earth and
everything that is in and on the Earth has its origin in Earth’s seminal entity
or waters of life, we too have our very ancient origin in the ocean.
Ocean is like a Mother
Following on from the above paragraph the ocean is like our
Mother because our Mother is the place from where we have all come. In ancient
times the Goddesses and saints that were worshipped were given names that were
derived from the sea. Such as Mara, Maia, Mary, Maria, Marian and Miriam, where
the Latin root word for the sea is mare. Also in French la mere means mother and la
mer means sea, both words are very close. Also the goddesses Aphrodite,
Ishtar and Venus were all called Stella Maris, meaning the Star of the Sea. The
Virgin Mary also has flowing white and blue vestments symbolising the blue of the
waters and the white of the waves.
Calming
For some people the sea or the ocean is very calming on the
emotions. Maybe because when we approach the sea or the Ocean with some peace
the healing, vitality and power of the ocean as Mother washes over us drawing
us closer to our source and calming, revitalising and healing us.

The ocean is very healing for myself. I get eczema time to time and going in the ocean really helps heal my skin. I always feel so revitalized after going in the ocean as if I get a baptism each time.
ReplyDeleteThat’s really interesting, the link between the Divine Mother and Ocean. I like hearing comparisons like this, it helps me have more reverence to my Divine Mother for just how important she is and just how much work she does for humanity.
