BIBLE VERSES

SHIPS OF THE GREEKS GUIDED TO ILIUM (TROY)

Symbolic of the higher mental qualities directed to the causal-self.

“To them there arose by far the best of augurs, Kalchas, son of Thestor, who knew the present, the future, and the past, and who guided the ships of the Greeks to Ilium, by his prophetic art, which Phoebus Apollo gave him." - Iliad, Bk. I.

To the mind appeared Memory (reminiscence) the child of the Ego, which is the means, through correlation of experiences, of directing the higher mental qualities to centralise in the causal-self. This it effects by its higher consciousness, which is the direct offshoot or ray of the Higher Self (Apollo).

“Ships signify containers of knowledges of what is good and true, serving for use of life. Ships signify those knowledges, because they are what contain things." - SWEDENBORG, Apoc. Rev., n. 406.
