Thank you for your interest, Claudia. First, although I feel I cannot comment on the actual nature of the manifestation, you say the spiral ‘moved counter-clockwise’ — if it was rotating counter-clockwise then that’s symbolic of a movement, or invitation, to the unconscious; a clockwise motion would represent contents of the unconscious turning into the conscious realm. The spiral pattern is deeply embedded in the human psyche, and is symbolic of the process of spiritual growth, in the age-old idea of an initiatory spiral path that can be climbed in stages to reach God (without or within) or ‘enlightenment’: from each turn of the spiral one can look back to the equivalent point in the past as to what one has achieved and upward towards continuing fulfillment of potential. Perhaps the spiral has some spiritual significance in your own life at present. See also my essay, here at Medium, ‘Spiralling towards a new understanding of reality, consciousness and our role in the universe’.
