BIBLE VERSES

LATONA OR LETO, MOTHER OF APOLLO

A symbol of Wisdom, or the buddhic emotion-nature which gives birth to the Self within the soul.

“Leto would therefore (from her name) signify the obscure or concealed, not as a physical power, but as a divinity yet quiescent and invisible, from whom issued the visible divinity (Apollo) with all his splendour and brilliancy.” — Smith's Class. Dict.

Unperceived by the lower nature, the buddhic nature (Leto) brings forth the Self in the souls of mankind, to save and illuminate them.
