CHARON'S FERRYA symbol of the division between the lower mind and the higher—the same as the “bridge of manas.” It implies a way by which the consciousness may pass from the lower nature to the higher. Through the establishment of this “ferry” the recollection of past incarnations becomes possible. The “ferry” acts, as it were, like sight through a telescope in relation to the lower consciousness, and through it a vision of the Higher Self may be gained. In this way the reflection of the Higher nature in the lower nature is in process of time and evolution fully accomplished, and then Charon’s Ferry is over-passed by the soul. The “ferry,” which at first is potential, becomes actual when the soul is ready to cross it. “The mystic is one who knows divine things otherwise than by hearsay, who sees them by an inner light; one to whom the Infinite and Eternal is no mere article of belief, but an experience. The mystical doctrine, in its essence, is that the highest in man can hold immediate intercourse with the Highest in the universe, that the human soul can enjoy direct communion with the Supreme Object, to which neither the senses nor the logical understanding can attain.” — W. S. LILLY, The Great Enigma, p. 256. |
