TROY
A symbol of the causal-body, the seat of the Self
on the mental plane.
"The tale of Troy. Many of its incidents and characters are clearly
symbolical; and the entire story can now be treated only as a sacred
legend, a drama of religious strife reflecting the supposed
operations of nature. . . . Troy was a divine city, its capture a
divine event." - R. W. Mackay, Progress of the Intellect, Vol. I. p.
168.
"Ye sons of Atreus, and ye other well-greaved Greeks, to you indeed
may the gods, possessing the heavenly dwellings, grant to destroy
the city of Priam, and to return home safely." - Iliad, Bk. I.
The appeal of the spiritual mind (Chryses) is made to the Self
through illusion (Atreus). From the higher planes (heavenly
dwellings) may the Divine Power (gods) grant that the desires, in
captivating the mind, become the means of apparently destroying the
perfect causal-body, and so assist in furthering the evolution of
the soul which is to return to its home above.
