BIBLE VERSES

NOSTRILS FOR SMELLING

A symbol of the function of the lower mind to discriminate the lower aspects of the qualities of the soul.

"With its nostrils seeking out the fragments of animals' limbs, as many as the delicate exhalation from their feet was leaving behind in the wood.". Empedocles, FAIRBANKS, 313.

With the functions of the lower mind, the Self seeks out the lower aspects of its nature, to the extent that it has been capable of appropriating the experiences which were acquired through traversing the astral plane (wood).
