BIBLE VERSES

DISK, WINGED SUN

This symbol signifies the higher Individuality which dwells on the buddhic plane and ensouls the causal-body. It is the buddhic vehicle or vesture of the Atman.

"Horbehudti (Horus) changed his form into that of a winged sun-disk, that which rests over the prow of the bark of Ra.” - Legend of the Winged Sun-disk.

Now from the perfect form of man on the lower planes, the Son of God assumed the vesture of the higher Individuality, the buddhic, which ensouls the causal-body (the bark of Rā).

“When perfect and fully winged, she (the soul) soars upward, and is the Ruler of the universe." - PLATO, Phædrus, JOWETT, Vol. II. p. 123.

"Almost every jot or tittle in the Egyptian worship had a symbolical meaning. The round disk so frequent in the sacred emblems of Egypt symbolised the sun. Now, when Osiris, the sun divinity, became incarnate, and was born, it was not merely that he should give his life as a sacrifice for men, but that he might also be the life and nourishment of the souls of men." - A. HISLOP, Two Babylons, p. 160.
