DISSECT / DIVIDE
Spiritual Meaning:
Any division or deliberate dissection into two parts or more suggests a movement away from unity, from a state of perfection.
Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
To divide into parts signifies creating manageable portions, perhaps breaking down a series of actions to understand them better. Crossing a divide is similar to crossing a chasm:we must face our own fears.
Everyday Material Aspects:
When we are dissecting a body or animal we are trying to learn how something works or what relationships the various parts might have with one another. This might apply to a task or project in waking life.
