PRIZE OF HONOUR GAINED
A symbol of credit taken to itself by the lower
egoism for having made an effort to surrender itself to the higher
nature; pride being the motive at this stage.
“Only make ye me ready a prize of honour forthwith, lest I alone of
all the Argives be disprized, which thing beseemeth not; for ye all
behold how my prize is departing from me (i.e. Agamemnon)." - Iliad,
Bk. I.
This vanity in seeking for honour signifies the growth of the
egoistic feeling as the lower emotions increase in intensity. As
this takes place the Desire-mind realises how its captive, the
Intuition of truth (Chryseis), is destined gradually to recover its
liberty and manifest in the soul.
