When the part of man which remains on the surface and occupies itself with the outer world identifies itself with Pandora and seizes knowledge for himself, all the ills which spill out of the jar automatically appear: attachment and desire and the suffering which they bring. This tree must not be confused with the symbol of “the tree of life” which we have spoken about previously and which is itself made up of two trees. “They lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting beyond the reach of all evils. The evolutionary impulse manifests itself through Prometheus as through the snake of Genesis. For many, he is also a source of inspiration for the arts, new inventions and for everything which elevates man and distances him from his animal nature. The poem is a celebration of Prometheus, a figure from Greek mythology known for stealing fire from the gods to help humanity. As he progresses into the separative part of the cycle, his perception of Reality becomes blunter. Prometheus's Theft of Fire, Christian Griepenkerl (1839-1916). This is why the warning given by Prometheus did not prevent his brother from accepting Pandora: the intuitive capacity of man cannot avoid the development of an unavoidable process of distancing. This is the primary meaning of Epi: on top, at the surface of.

(In the vital being, the expression of the Absolute can be considered to be the highest level of natural magic, of which some manifestations still live on in shamanic practices in the widest definition of the term. But having attained adolescence, he did not have much longer to live, being a victim of his foolishness. Although Hesiod perceives signs of this in the first stages he seems to have given up all hope in the Iron Age in which he lived. Other civilizations use religious taboos in similar ways. The story of the ascension of the planes of consciousness in the mind is carried out entirely in the lineage of Iapetus. He tricks Zeus into leaving the best eating parts for humans. The war between the gods and the Titans closed an idyllic period (the “Golden Age” under the rule of the Titan Cronos, or in the Bible the time in which man lived his days in happiness in the Garden of Eden under the benevolent care of Yahweh) and assures a transition under the predominance of the mind. But there is also no possibility for individuation: according to occult traditions, the animal kingdom is principally constituted of “group souls” governing evolution. But the Absolute does not leave the seeker stranded in a desert: it offers him new bases for the nascent spiritual path in accordance with his nature and through his highest capacities (Hermes). Their only interest was in fighting, and they ate no bread. The Fall came to disturb this harmony, for being called to wider horizons humanity had only attained a provisory summit. For on the vital plane instinct oversees both the perception of what needs to be done and its execution. (Goethe's rebelliousness, however, did not last long. The fourth race also seemed to be a brazen one, although Hesiod dos not specify this. While the golden race is associated with the physical mind, the silver race can be associated with the development of the vital mind. From this moment only Ish and Isha become Adam and Eve, the individualised couple. He then presented her to Epimetheus, who accepted the gift even though his brother had warned him to refuse any present from Zeus. It would seem that his identification as Noah in the biblical account occurred later on.

For this reasoning mind originating from the movement of separation, the only ultimate expression possible is a frozen desert in which each being is fixed in his solitude, cut out from the warmth of life. Some say that Athena was still a very young girl at this time, which is to say that the inner quest had just barely begun. It is through woman, the intuitive polarity and therefore the first to become aware of the transformation to come, that begins the mutation, the entry into the separative movement aimed at the acquisition of discernment, for “your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil”: There was therefore in man a strong inner impulse of divine nature for evolution.

When the creation was complete, Zeus named her Pandora. As the duration of a cycle is very long compared to the vestiges that we keep of the human evolution, the awareness of the phenomenon by the initiates most probably only occurred at the beginning of a phase of separation. The eagle sent by Zeus, who during the day devours the liver of Prometheus regenerating itself at night, represents the action of this principle in the mind: the alternating influence of the forces of fusion and separation, of intellect and intuition essential for the acquisition of “discernment”. He then clashed with an all-powerful god, perhaps an even cruel or sadistic one. When man realises that the latter cannot answer his most essential queries he is faced with an important calling into question.

On the spiritual plane, the flood or deluge symbolises a deep cleansing of beliefs and formations inherited from the past, of which only some essential elements must be kept. His relationship with the environment is still of a fusionary and instinctive nature. But while describing the progressive fall by which humankind is gradually distanced from Truth, he highlights by contrast the ascension of a human elite striving for spiritual heights.

There is therefore a successive liberation of the ego in the mind, in the vital and finally in the physical body.

This seems to be confirmed by Ovid’s view, as he describes the four ages (gold, silver, brazen and iron), but does not at any point mention an age of heroes. Having achieved dominance over the forces in charge of vital development and then over Typhon, the force of ignorance (disorder, incoherence, and the whirlwinds of the emerging mind), Zeus, the consciousness of the overmind, was ready to join with Metis (the goddess of wisdom, daughter of Oceanos, a current of energy-consciousness). In homothety with the secondary cycles of two thousand one hundred and sixty years, we would be on the point of embarking upon a period similar to that of the slow disintegration of the Roman Empire, a new period of six thousand five hundred years which would lead us into the fusionary part of the cycle. This will of appropriation perverts the process of the construction of the ego, which in its time is indispensable to build up individuality, to extract man from his coating of ignorance, free him from the collective “herd” and develop his potential. But to the others father Zeus, the son of Cronos, gave a living and an abode apart from men, and made them dwell at the ends of earth. His thoughts are turned towards the present moment, and are only preoccupied with vital necessities. Sri Aurobindo, in The Life Divine, (Chapter: Progress to Knowledge), states that “man has to assert himself in ignorance before he can perfect himself in knowledge”. Also metalworking eventually led to the development of plastics and ceramics. This race submerges itself in the night of matter so as to bring consciousness to it, manipulating it in every possible way, sometimes savagely. Ascribing the original sin to the gods, the Greeks thus liberated themselves from the concept of guilt which still weighs heavily on the western Christian world. Meanwhile guilt is linked to the group and seeks to maintain its cohesion, but without putting in question one’s self image. Each of its sides, ribs or “pillars” is attributed to one of the two opposing forces, fusion and separation, and the currents of energy weave themselves around them in an alternating pattern to form the Caduceus. Abandoning themselves to violence amongst themselves, men refused to honour the gods. On the other hand, the lineage of Protogenia makes explicit the realisations of the “adventurers of consciousness”, the guides of humanity. ” (Works and Days, verse 83).

Prometheus, along with his brother Epimetheus, were two of the four sons of the Titan Iapetus (a son of Uranus--Heavens-- and Gæa--Earth--, and thus elder brother of Cronus) and the Oceanide Clymene (or Asia, a daughter of Ocean and Tethys in both cases). This myth was first recounted by Apollodorus, a compiler of myths who lived in the first or second century of our era. The third race is the brazen race. Zeus, not fooled by this trickery and foreseeing the troubles that mortals had in store chose the first portion, though he was filled with rage. Hesiod's Theogony, Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound, and Apollodorus's Library also tell of the theft of fire. Five days into gluten free diet, I had the Prometheus Celiac Plus test done.

God no longer strolled in Paradise. In both accounts man lived in paradise-like conditions, in an Eden or Golden Age which was lost to him. It may originate from the words Δευω “wetting” or “not succeeding”, and καλια, “hut or cabin” in relation to the deluge. There is however a noteworthy difference between these two myths: in the Greek myth it was not men who were responsible for the fall but the Titan Prometheus, who payed dearly for his aid to mortals. Since he defeated the Titans and swallowed Metis, the latter had in fact become the guide of this stage of evolution. The lineage of Hellen, and therefore of the Hellenes, the Greeks, “they who seek a liberation in the spirit”. Since this myth was recorded, more than three thousand years have passed. But Prometheus, he who is capable of tying the bond again, as thin as it may be, with the inner fire given to men within the fennel stem, knows that the identification with the surface being dominated by the centralising movement of the ego brings with it a separation from Reality which can only be a source of suffering.
