BIBLE VERSES

WRATH OF APOLLO

A symbol of the out-going energy of the Higher Self in the exercise of the striving functions for the over-coming of the lower desires and instincts.

“O Achilles! dear to Jove, thou biddest me (Calchas) to declare the wrath of Apollo, the far-darting king. Therefore will I declare it; but do thou on thy part covenant and sware to me, that thou wilt promptly assist me in word and hand.” — Iliad, Bk. I.

‘O personality, young soul! dear in the eyes of the Self; thou urgest that the laws of the Supreme are harsh and unequal, and cause suffering and sorrow, therefore will I (memory) so interpret them. But do thou for thy part vow that thou wilt render me assistance voluntarily and actively, even though it cause distress to the lower mind.’
