SHIPS, BEAKED
Symbolic of directed aspirations from the mind.
"Now I (Achilles) will depart to Phthia, seeing it is far better to
return home on my beaked ships; nor am I minded here in dishonour to
draw thee (Agamemnon) thy fill of riches and wealth." - Iliad, Bk.
I.
The Personality resolves to regain those higher states of
consciousness (Phthia) which are the outcome of the manasic
evolution. The resolution involves the directed aspirations, and
these are realised as the sense of right. The Personality decides
that it shall not be enslaved by the Desire-nature with its objects
of sense.
