Sequestered in her meditation cell, St. Hildegard received a series of psychic tableaus that she sketched on wax, which were subsequently turned into paintings. Her accompanying interpretations of these visions were also later transcribed.
She says, "I saw a vast instrument, round & shadowed, in the shape of an egg, faithfully showing Omnipotent God, incomprehensible in His majesty & inestimable in his mysteries & the hope of all the faithful."
One hymn of the Rigveda (RV 10.121) known as the Hiranyagarbha Sukta, suggests a single creator deity. Hiranyagarbha is also Brahma, so-called because it is said he was born in a golden egg.
The Matsya Purana (2.25-30) says after Mahapralaya, Swayambhu, the self manifested being arose. It created the primordial waters first & established the seed of creation into it. The seed turned into a golden womb, Hiranyagarbha & then Swayambhu entered into that egg.
