AMAZONS

A symbol of the higher emotions,- the buddhic,-which oppose the desires.

“A mythical race of warlike females, are said to have come from the Caucasus, and to have settled in the country about the river Thermoden. Their country was inhabited only by the Amazons, who were governed by a queen but in order to propagate their race, they met once a year the Gargarians in Mount Caucasus."

The higher emotions which contend against the desire-mental qualities, arise upon the buddhic plane as result of aspiration from below, and are contiguous to the "river of life." They are above the mental qualities, and are co-ordinated by Wisdom. At one period of the cycle (year) they become allied with the higher mental faculties, and this alliance brings into activity many qualities, buddhic and mental.
