BRIAREUS, OR AEGAEONA symbol of the critical intellect—synthetic and analytic—which destroys errors and illusions. "Then didst thou, O goddess (Thetis), enter in and loose him (Agamemnon) from his bonds, having with speed summoned to high Olympus him of the hundred arms whom gods call Briareus, but all men call Aegaeon; for he is mightier even than his father—so he sat him by Kronion's side rejoicing in his triumph, and the blessed gods feared him withal and bound not Zeus." — Iliad, Bk. I. At this period the Child of Time Illusion, or the Desire-mind, is loosed from its limitations by the buddhic nature which raises to the higher mental level the Critical intellect with its wide-reaching scope. By the Higher Self this faculty is apprehended as the Synthetic function, but by the lower mind as the Analytic, which respectively discern similarities and differences. The Critical intellect is more effective than the Astro-mental faculty: hence the Critical intellect takes its place beside Time, since it is seen to be itself a creator of illusion. And the higher mental qualities now attend upon the Self who is no longer imprisoned in low conditions as heretofore. |
