BIBLE VERSES

ALTAR BUILDING TO THE LORD

A symbol of the setting up in the mind of a structure of spiritual idealism on which the lower qualities may be sacrificed for the sake of the higher

And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast and of every clean fowl and offered burnt offerings on the altar" - GENESIS viii 20

And the individuality is said to "build an altar" that is to raise a means of reciprocal action between it and the Self of which it is the manifest embodiment. And every desire and emotion become the means of this offering of the lower self to the Higher Self
