CHRYSEIS, HIS DAUGHTER
A symbol of the intuition of Truth—the buddhic
consciousness reflected on the higher mental plane, and bringing
true knowledge to the soul.
"Apollo, enraged with the king (Agamemnon) stirred up an evil
pestilence through the army, because the son of Atreus had
dishonoured the priest Chryse; for he came in the swift ships of the
Greeks to ransom his daughter (Chryseis), and bringing invaluable
ransoms, having in his hands the fillets of far-darting Apollo on
his golden sceptre." - Iliad, Bk. I.
The Higher Self working from beneath is the means of causing strife
and unbalanced conditions upon the lower planes, whereby the lower
qualities are destroyed. Illusion (son of Atreus) has cast a veil
over the features of the spiritual mind (Chryse), for illusion
overlays the astral impressions which lead to the mind and engage
it. The enlightened mind is eventually to be the means of liberating
the intuition of Truth; and illusion, having thus quickened the
evolution, the aroused spiritual mind becomes the means of offering
up gifts to the Self, that is, through buddhi, “laying up treasures
in heaven.”
