SONS AND DAUGHTERS

Symbols of opinions or ideas, and of feelings or emotions, -the progeny of mind and emotion. Or, the higher mental qualities and the buddhic emotions,--the progeny of the Spirit.

"Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." - 2 COR. vi. 17, 18.

The indwelling Self exhorts those qualities which have in them measure of the Divine Life to separate themselves from their lower elements,and have no alliance with selfish desires. Then the Self will transmute them, and so become their progenitor, and they will be the higher mental and buddhic qualities on spiritual planes.

"A son denotes truth and good in the understanding and thence in the thought; a daughter denotes truth and good in the will and thence in the affections. Young men signify truths, and virgins affections thereof.' SWEDEN. BORG, Apocalypse Revealed, n. 543, 620.
