Between our material world and heaven stretches the infinite ocean of the soul.
Within this unstable sea feelings and passions are flowing. Picture-like thoughts appear and melt away to foam.
For the human being lost in thoughts these dreamlike sensations may become dangerous and he can perish, if he dives down with them into the depths of his soul-world and his Ego vanishes.
On the other hand, special treasures can be brought up from the very basis of the unconscious to conscious daylight, just as this rainbow- colored being rises up from the depths of the unconscious to the conscious under extraordinary suffering, her fish scales mirroring all of her different stirrings of the soul.
First the cold-blooded mermaid attracted men instinctively with her mysterious fishtail and her irresistible siren`s songs for the purpose of enjoying her might over them with inhuman irresponsibility. Her instinctive longing for consciousness finally led her to this painful process:
As it happens, she is falling in love with her prince, but she doesn`t meet response and has to witness silently, how the prince falls into love with another woman, whose place in paradise is now granted. Her might as a mermaid she has lost now in this stadium as a human being. She suffers from this love until her fins are bleeding.
Indeed she will perish from infidelity of men, but the soul bird from the spiritual heaven-to-come will carry down the knowledge, that in the end she will have to let go all, for becoming her Self and thus becoming one with all and become immortal in timelessness. In this way she will in the end of time have mercy with all beings, like the patron of Tibet, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
