TAMMUZ, GOD,-LOWERA symbol of self-love and separateness. "The gate of heaven was guarded by the gods Tammuz and Nin-gis-zida, who asked Adapa the meaning of the mourner's garment which he wore." — SAYCE, Story of Adapa. The portals of heaven, or devachan, are protected by the laws of the lower planes, which prevent their being entered by the force of desire. The symbolism of the guardians is very simple, one is love of self, the other is love of form-life. While the ego is captivated by these, it remains on the lower planes. The guardians interrogate the ego under its aspect of a sufferer and probationer upon the path to perfection. |
