BIBLE VERSES

ARGIVES

A symbol of the lower desires and emotions active on the desire-mental plane.

Apollo aimed against the Argives his deadly darts. So the people began to perish in multitudes, and the God's shafts ranged everywhither throughout the wide host of the Achaians."-Iliad, Bk. I.

The Higher Self opposed with the Will (sword of the Spirit) the workings of the lower self. Hence the lower qualities gradually diminished in strength and numbers; and the action of the Divine Will being directed to the suppression of the lower mental qualities, these are overcome.
