TOMB
A symbol of the lower nature in which the
personality (corpse) is interred. A mode of functioning on the lower
planes.
"The Tomb, that is to say, the present world, which is the
receptacle of corruptible things." - DANTE, The Banquet, IV. Ch. 22.
"The Chapter of coming forth by day after having made the passage
through the Tomb. Saith Osiris Ani:-
"Hail Soul, thou mighty one of strength! Verily I am here, I have
come, I behold thee. I have passed through the Tuat (underworld), I
have seen my divine father Osiris, I have scattered the gloom of
night. I am his beloved one. I have stabbed the heart of Suti
(Set).. I have become a sahu, I have become a khu." - BUDGE, Book of
the Dead, Ch. IX. p. 57.
This is the joyous outpouring of the liberated soul on the higher
planes, after having accomplished his course through the lower
nature.
Saith the soul: I acclaim the Self, the mighty indweller! Truly I
have risen, and now I perceive the Self within. I have progressed
through the Cycle of the lower quaternary, and I behold the
archetypal Self who begot me. I have done away with ignorance and
have attached myself to Truth. I have overcome and cast out the
lower principle (Set), and have become an Individuality (khu) in a
causal-body (sāhu).
“Religious people are always tending to seek the living among the
dead, and having to be recalled to the obvious truth that the soul
of good can never be shackled in the bonds of matter, or buried
permanently in any tomb of failure and misunderstanding, however
strong." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., The Resurrection Life.
