DISEASES, WASTING AND PUTRIFYING
Symbolic of the lowest states of the instinct and desire nature, which become obnoxious and gradually disappear.
“And I wept and shrieked on beholding the unwonted land where are murder and wrath, and other species of fates, and wasting diseases, and putrefactions and fluxes." - Empedocles, FAIRBANKS, 385.
The lower self, through the awakenment within, "wept and shrieked," hat is, feared, trembled, and suffered, all through the earlier troubles and difficulties which befell it. "Murder and wrath "signify the primitive and fearsome manifestations of the Divine indwelling principle. The "other species of fates " are the karmic liabilities which are incurred during the early state of strife. The "wasting diseases, etc." are the lowest aspects of the soul's lower desires.
