BIBLE VERSES

SCENT, SWEET, FROM THE SOUTH

A symbol of a pure and deep sense of the Truth which enters into the higher mind from the buddhic plane above the highest intellect.

"So Isis came to Byblos, and by reason of the sweet smell which emanated from her, she found favour with the women servants of the palace, obtained entry there, and was appointed nurse to the King's child." - PLUTARCH, Isis and Osiris, § 15.

The buddhic function approaches the lower self, and because it contains Truth, Beauty, and Love, finds favour with the emotions of admiration, veneration, devotion, etc., and effects an entrance into the consciousness of the ego.
