MAGICAL PRACTICES (LOWER)
A symbol of the inward stimuli of the desire-mind
(kama-manas) urging the soul towards fresh experiences of the lower
life.
"When Zoroaster had attained his seventh year, the inimical
Durasrobo and Bratrok-rish still continue to connive against him; to
harass and assail him. By magic practices they endeavour to daunt
his spirit, and they attempt to destroy his body by poison." - A. V.
W. JACKSON, Zoroaster, p. 32.
The seventh year signifies the growth of the soul upon the lower
planes. The conspiracy is the means by which the soul is ensnared
through the desire-nature and the lower mind which intensifies the
strength of the desires. The "magic practices" are the untried
routes of the lower nature over which the soul must needs pursue its
way, and the way appears appalling and interminable. The "poisoning"
signifies the immediate result of the severer experiences upon the
lower planes whereon the effects of the coarser functionings of the
lower self have all the appearance of effects of poison.
