GODDESS, LADY, OR WOMAN (CELESTIAL)
A symbol of the buddhic principle, or of the
matter aspect of manifestation, in its highest condition.
"I have remembered in Her (Lady) what I had forgotten; and I, even
I, live and am not hurt to my destruction. Therefore give unto me,
give Thou unto me bliss and Thy peace: that the grasping of the four
winds may knit together my parts." - Book of the Dead, Ch. CX.
In the buddhic (Lady) nature of the soul is seen to be all that is
contained and evolved in and by the lower vehicles through the
building of which the recovery of the true inner Self-knowledge has
alone been rendered possible. And the true Self lives and alone
survives the temporary associations in the lower life, which have
led to the Higher Self's apprehension of Itself. For this reason
bliss shall be committed to the soul, inasmuch as bliss is of the
true nature of the Self which in essence is pure bliss. The full
control of the lower nature in the quaternary, as the means of
evolution, serves to knit together the nature which is to be
expressed under manifold aspects on higher planes.
"Varro derives the male divinities from heaven or Jupiter as the
active principle, and the female divinites from the earth or Juno as
the passive principle, while Minerva denotes the ideas as
proto-types." - ZELLER, Hist. of Eclecticism, p. 177.
"Heaven” and “earth” are symbols of Spirit and Matter.
"Minerva " signifies the buddhic plane, which contains the
prototypes of the manifest.
