consciousness on the mental plane of the soul-the Individuality (Pollux)
and the Personality (Castor), or the Higher and the lower Selves.

Zeus, and Castor was the son of Tyndareus. Hence Pollux was
immortal, while Castor was subject to old age and death like every
other mortal." - Smith's Class. Dict.
They are said to be the product of the matter side of manifestation.
The individuality and the buddhic principle (Helen) were begotten of
the Spirit (Zeus), and the personality was originated by desire (Tyndareus).
Hence the individuality is immortal. and the personality mortal.
"Zeus rewarded the attachment of the two brothers by placing them
among the stars as Gemini." - Ibid.

by giving them important functionings among the mental qualities
(stars), in the cycle of life (the Zodiac).
