SOUTH WIND

A symbol of currents of the emotion of love stirring the mind to thought and action.

“Once, the south wind upset Adapa's skiff, and in revenge he broke his wings. But the south wind was a servant of Anu, and the God of the Sky demanded the punishment of the daring mortal. Ea, however, intervened to save the man he had created." - SAYCE, Story of Adapa.

On an occasion in the mind's awakenment, the vibrations from the emotion, or higher astral, plane,—a strong breeze of love,-surged about the primeval mind so that it was well-nigh capsized, and in its perplexity it put forth an effort of will and restrained its emotion, so that it could not for awhile soar into the realms of fancy, for it had reflected. But the emotion-nature is a servant of the Highest (Anu), and an aspect of the One Life: and so it was that the daring and presumptuous mortal was called upon to account for that which he had done. He had asserted himself. He had become one of Us." Intelligence is the function which involves choice, and as such introduces will,-which makes man, the individuality, as God. And herein arises karina. The Supreme (Ea), however, intervened. God does not leave man to the karmic law alone; in other words, the lesser life, the individual, after its fall into matter, is even yet in touch with the Greater Life, or more correctly, the Greater is in conscious communication with the individual life in order to raise it from the lower conditions.
