Life is like a hole
Mitch's hole

My interpretation (on AIM to Mitch)

Dan C Lucking (12:02:58 AM): For a start, the hole is life- when you really get a clue about what's going on you realise that you're surrounded by death all the way through. The fallen angel, to me, is Satan- pretty obvious there.. but the reason he's in the hole with you is that he thrives on the destruction -and often is the cause of it- in life. His gun to your head is there for fear- if you know he's there, he wants you to fear him above all (will continue in a sec)
Dan C Lucking (12:04:45 AM): he says "Life" because that's what he encourages- to live. Despite the fact that it gets you nowhere and that in the end you die- he encourages you to live as though you are alive and always will be. He is the source of life in yourself, the experiential and the concept of getting all you can out of life. (tbc)
Dan C Lucking (12:08:43 AM): The light at the top of the hole- some form of hope but seemingly unreachable. The cross (which I take to be horizontal in the wall of the hole) is between the light and the bottom of the hole- a kind of intermediary or a bridge between the light and those living in the hole- a way of reaching it, I suppose. And the blood dripping down is to do with the covenant blood that was shed on the cross- ie a covenant ritual (these used to be ceremonies between humans in way ancient times) between God and man to become one via the shedding of the blood of his son on the cross (again tbc)
Dan C Lucking (12:11:42 AM): The angel is worried by the blood not out of compassion but fear- that you might understand what the blood is about. It is ultimately to do with the power which you can have over him- and the last thing he wants is for you to know that- to the point which he fears it, but he will try to put on a strong face, to try not to let you suspect that he actually fears you. He forces you through the small passage into the other hole in order to lead you away from the blood and the hole. Also to give hope that you're actually going somewhere even if things don't really change- to keep you complacent (tbc)
Dan C Lucking (12:15:32 AM): the large hand is the hand of God pulling you out of the hole- out of the control of the angel. It exposes the lack of control the angel actually has by shielding you from it's attacks and taking you out of the reality that the angel has crafted for you. You might even argue that the hole is less to do with life, but perspective, or your mind. You get drawn out of the mindset of death put in you by the angel- that which he is so adamant to keep you in. The angel fears the hand because the hand has no misconceptions about the power it has over the angel. Not only is it strong, but it knows it. (tbc)
Dan C Lucking (12:18:38 AM): It has no reasons or intentions to harm but only to comfort, despite it's beauty and grace it has no problems in going into the rankness of the hole in order to lift out one seemingly insignificant being. When you are taken up by the hand, the angel can not take you from it- you are held firmly within it. Completely protected, as if from the Devil by God.
Dan C Lucking (12:19:32 AM): and when you finally get out of the hole all you feel is the warm that comes from the being that controlled the hand- god. You are aware of the presence of the angel, ie the devil, but you don't fear it because it's lack of power has been demonstrated to you
