EAST; THE SUN-RISE
Emblem of the direction in which the Self appears
in the soul. The source of Life, and the light of knowledge is the
Self (sun) rising in the mind.
"Behold the Man whose name is East (or Rising)." - PHILO, De Confus.
Ling., § 14.
“The east, indeed, is the region of the gods, for this reason he
(the sacrificer) looks towards the East." - Satapatha-brahmana Verse
1.9.3.13
"The man who will feel the shining of the Eternal Sun, which is
Christ Himself, will have clear vision, and will dwell on the
mountains of the east, concentrating all his energies and raising
his heart towards God." - RUYSBROECK, Stod- dart's trans., p. 127.
"From the East our home, my parents, having equipped me, sent me
forth." - "Hymn of the Soul" in the Acts of Judas Thomas. From the
East, or along the celestial path of the Self, to which the rising
of the sun in the heavens is comparable, was the Divine Ego or Spark
sent forth of the Spirit in the buddhic vestures which clothed it
with the full powers of the soul.
