PYLUS, DIVINE, AND THE PYLIANS

Symbols of the higher mental plane, and the higher mental qualities.

"Therefore to them arose the sweet-voiced Nestor, . . . During his life, two generations of articulately speaking men had become extinct, who formerly were reared and lived with him in divine Pylus, but he was now ruling over the third." - Iliad, Bk. I.

The soul had SO far developed that the lower emotions had become responsive to the charms of Faith-Hope (Nestor), and during the attractive guidance of this dual influence, the two earliest races of mankind in astral bodies approached extinction, for they could no longer proceed with their evolution on the super-physical planes. Formerly they influenced the ego on the higher mental plane (divine Pylus). Now, however, the evolution of the Third Race was being accomplished.
