ANAPHE, THE ILLUMINED ISLAND

A symbol of the soul suffused in Truth, implying its salvation. "Apollo taking his stand on the rocks called Melantian Necks, shot an arrow into the sea: the arrow flashed a vivid light, and the Argonauts beheld an island which they named Anaphe." - Argonautic Expedition.

The Higher Self taking his stand on the sense of truth and duty, sends forth a ray of Itself which illumines the whole nature. And so the qualities behold a way of escaping danger. This experience being illuminating, it may be called salvation.
