The bucket is the physical consciousness; milk is always a symbol of the flow of consciousness from Above; the mountain is the Adhar with its ascending levels from the physical to the Above¹. The golden mountain is a symbol of the ascent to the Truth.

¹ In a vision during meditation, the correspondent saw a stream of milk flowing down a mountain and filling a bucket at its base. – Ed.
