SUN-DISK, WINGED

A symbol of the higher Individuality, which is the atma-buddhic, and which ensouls the causal-body.

"At this juncture the divine Isis asked her father Ra that the winged sun-disk might be given to her son Horus as a talisman, because he has cut off the heads of the fiend and his companions (Legend of the Winged Sun-disk). - BUDGE, Gods of the Egyptians.

And now Wisdom (Isis) craves of the Supreme (Ra) that the mind may be so raised that it be consecrated entirely to the service of the Higher Self (Horus), so that the Divine impress or seal (talisman) be made upon it, and it rise to be one with its Father in heaven, as the Individuality. For it is in this pre-requisite, the conquering over the lower powers, that the soul is entitled to aspire towards the higher possibilities of the upper planes.

"Horbehûdti (Horus) came in the bark of Ra Harmakhis in a many coloured form as a great winged disk." - Ibid.

The Second Logos approached the soul in the "bark of Ra" which is a symbol of the higher or buddhic causal-body of all humanity, containing the complete collective experience of the race. The "many coloured form is the buddhic vehicle of the higher Individuality.
