INSIGNIA OF THE IMPERIAL POWER OF JAPAN

Symbolic of the spiritual endowments of the soul upon the mental plane (Japan).

“The Goddess Amaterasu proclaimed her grandson Ninigi sovereign of Japan for ever, and appointed his descendants to rule it as long as the heavens and the earth endure. Before starting for his kingdom he received from his grandmother the Three Divine Insignia, viz.—the Sacred Mirror, the Sacred Sword, and the Sacred Stone or Magatama.” – The Nihongi.

The Wisdom Principle (buddhi), being the director of the evolutionary process, assigns to the Germ-Self on the mental plane the future sovereignty of the Soul in a series of stages, as long as the Cycle lasts. She is able at the outset to endow the Incarnate Self with the Causal-body (mirror), the Intuition of Truth (sword), and the Spiritual Ego (stone).
