John 19:34 · World English Bible
However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
The spear opening the side is the final wounding of God buried in man, the piercing that lets out what was locked in the human form. Golgotha, the place of the skull, is your own head.

MANIFESTATION
The spear opening the side is the final wounding of God buried in man, the piercing that lets out what was locked in the human form. Golgotha, the place of the skull, is your own head. The whole account of the crucifixion happens there, where the infinite awareness that shaped your world lies entombed in you until this piercing sets it loose. What slept inside the flesh is broken open so it can rise.
The blood that comes out is the life set free, the being of the one who was buried pouring itself out to be raised. Blood is life released, awareness leaving the form it wore so it can wake in another. Everything shut inside a person is loosed at last, because the God hidden in him was always meant to reach the surface. The wounding is the deliverance.

ESOTERIC
The piercing of the side is the opening through which the inner power is released, not an act of cruelty but the necessary wound that lets what is stored within pour out. The one who pierces is carrying out what had to be done; the crucifixion of the 5 senses in stillness is what breaks the seal, and the hand that opens the side serves the higher will rather than resisting it.
Out come blood and water, the 2 that were held inside now flowing free. Blood is the inner life force that meditation releases, the fine power that had been locked in the body. Water is truth, the clear finer awareness that runs with it. Both leave the side together, because when the seal is opened the life force and the truth it carries move as one, and the temple of the head gives up what it was keeping.
Spear: the instrument that opens the seal, the point that pierces so the inner store can be released Blood: the inner life force, the fine power set flowing when the body is opened in stillness Water: truth, the clear finer awareness that runs out together with the life force

PSYCHOANALYSIS
Two very different things flow from one wound. Blood stands for the body: warmth, appetite, the pull of ordinary life. Water stands for its opposite, the clear part of us that reaches past the body toward spirit. The mind has always paired these two, and here it lets both pour out at once, so neither can be denied.
This is why the spear matters. Nothing deep comes out of a person while the surface holds. Only when the body is broken open does what it carried inside finally show. A whole human life holds both the earthly and the spiritual, and it takes a real wound to bring both into the open.
Manifestation lens
What came out of you only because something broke first?
The reed makes music only because it was cut from the reed bed. The holes bored into it are the reason anything can come through.
Split the seed open and you find what looks like nothing, and from that nothing the whole tree stands. The opening is how you learn what was inside.
The potter shapes the clay, but the use of the vessel lies in the hollow. What was carved away is the part that serves.
