Unless One is Born of the Water and Spirit...

He cannot enter the kingdom of God. I want to focus on the water and Spirit. Water is reflection (i.e. processing in thinking) The Spirit is the pure act (Nature). Let's take fire for example. So if I experience fire, I come to know it by experiencing it and reflecting on it. All this passage is saying, in a non religious interpretation: Knowing Reality is a function of two truths, the breathing truth and the reflecting truth. Reintegrated consciousness is the Kingdom of God (Pure Knowledge) or no knowledge as you would have it..  Can I be anymore cryptic?

It's hard to be certain you know anything. In the end you have to decide. Do I know something or not? To answer yes requires faith.
