| ==Legend of Prometheus==
| |
| | |
| The name of Prometheus, to those who
| |
| had nought to do with the physical body, yet everything with the purely
| |
| spiritual man...Each class of Creators endows man with what it has to give: the one builds
| |
| his external form; the other gives him its essence, which later on becomes the
| |
| Human Higher Self owing to the personal exertion of the individual; but they
| |
| could not make men as they were themselves -- perfect, because sinless; sinless,
| |
| because having only the first, pale shadowy outlines of attributes, and these
| |
| all perfect -- from the human standpoint -- white, pure and cold as the virgin
| |
| snow. Where there is no struggle, there is no meritThe first
| |
| humanity, therefore, was a pale copy of its progenitors; too material, even in
| |
| its ethereality, to be a hierarchy of gods; too spiritual and pure to be MEN,
| |
| endowed as it is with every negative (Nirguna) perfection. Perfection, to be
| |
| fully such, must be born out of imperfection, the incorruptible must grow out of
| |
| the corruptible, having the latter as its vehicle and basis and contrast.
