The stream of oil leaking into the Gulf was first reported to be 1000 barrels per day. Later it became 5000 barrels per day, and now it is reported to be 60000 barrels per day. I think this is not only because the early estimates were wrong. The flow of oil from a deep high-pressure source naturally increases, as it causes erosion of blockages that hinder it.
The oil that flows into the Gulf is a natural example of a Ma'ayan Mitgaber, a spring that grows stronger. This one is a curse from Tehom, but it mirrors one that is a blessing from Shamayim.
Who merits "drilling into" the spiritual level of Keter experiences a Ma'ayan Mitgaber. The "fluids" coming from Keter flow via Chochma, Bina, Da'at into the "spine." As blockages are removed by the flow, the Ma'ayan becomes stronger and stronger. For who merits, Chidushim can become a continuous experience.
