ARGO, THE SHIP OF JASON
A symbol of the causal-body as a vehicle of the
Spirit and the higher qualities, in the evolutionary cycle. "The
ship which the Greeks call the Argo was the representation of the
barque of Osiris."- PLUTARCH, Isis and Osiris, § 22.
“Argus with the aid of Athena, built for Jason a galley, called from
himself Argo. In her prow Athena set a plank, cut from the speaking
oak of Dodona." -Argonautic Expedition.
The Higher Self with the aid of Wisdom, built a buddhic vehicle,—
the higher causal-body,-for his evolution. In the forefront, Wisdom
placed a mast of Truth (speaking oak).
“And as they were passing by the Absyrtean Isles, the Argo spoke,
and said that the anger of Zeus would not be appeased until they
went to Ausonia, and were purified by Circe."-Ibid.
And as the consciousness is raised to the condition of spiritual
vision, so it becomes aware of its own nature, and realises the
Divine intention (anger of Zeus), which is that the soul shall
attain to perfection (Circe) and possess the knowledge of all its
possibilities.
