The Residence Astral The descent into hell as a test for Hierophant
The descent to the abode of Pluto has been from earliest antiquity of esoteric tests that initiates into the mysteries had to pass to get integrated into the totality of themselves. This is reflected in countless myths and legends that speak of this place than the infernus ° which is neither more nor less than the representation of our unconscious world.
Pluto is the Roman version of the Greek god Hades, the god of the dead, the son of Cronus and Rhea and brother of Zeus and Poseidon. Obtained the power of the underworld after he along with his brothers divided the universe, having defeated his father. It fell the worst part being the younger brother of the family. They lived in a fierce and ruthless with Persephone, kidnapped from the upper world as the only way to break his celibacy Hades. Contrary to what seems logical, since there was no prayer to appease him, was not too evil. The world of the dead also called Hades. Was divided into two regions: Erebus, where the dead die and fall in Tartarus, the deepest region, famous for being eternal abode of the titans. It was a gloomy, dark and dismal, inhabited by disembodied shapes and shadows and guarded by Cerberus, the three-headed dog and dragon tail and Heracles / Hercules was able to capture. There rivers that separated horrific hell on earth for those who are led by the old man passed Charon. Somewhere in all this gloomy world stood the palace of the god Hades, with many doors, and mournful souls wandering. In the underworld was judged the performance of the dead and decided their fate: the Elysee for good souls and Tartarus for the wicked. The Roman version of Hades, Pluto, was more lenient because he was considered the giver of the world's wealth. But the abduction of Persephone, where we will stop to examine the myth of Pluto.
Persephone is the daughter of Zeus, father of the gods, and Demeter, goddess of earth and agriculture. Hades, god of the underworld, Persephone fell in love and wanted to marry her. Although Zeus gave his consent, Demeter was contrary to the wedding. So Hades grabbed the girl while she was picking flowers (poppies) and took her to his kingdom. When he left in search of her lost daughter, Demeter was devastated and goes to look for nine days and nine nights, in the end the old Hecate tells the situation, but is in Eleusis, the tenth day, he learns of the abduction. Knowing this, along with Hecate Helio will see the all-seeing that they confirmed the incident. Demeter goes mad earth and all the plants die and famine ravaging the land. For this reason, Zeus sent Hermes, messenger of the gods, to recover and return Persephone to her mother, but tells Demeter that her daughter may have provided has not eaten anything from hell. Before letting her go, Hades asked to eat a pomegranate seed, the food of the dead, which ate seven seeds. Thus, it was forced to return to the underworld and stay there for the third part of each year. As the goddess of the dead and goddess of fertility of the earth, Persephone was the personification of the renewal of the earth in spring. Hecate was found to be at the end which would monitor Core, which was the name of Persephone. The Eleusinian Mysteries were celebrated in his honor and his mother. It is clear that we have a Triple Goddess: Core, Persephone and Hecate. Core is the maiden, Persephone is the mature woman and Hecate the elderly.
would have to go back to how the Greeks lived their esoteric mysteries in order to introduce the topic and gain an understanding of this myth. The myth of the Rape of Core was held primarily at Eleusis (coming) in the month called Beodromión (running for help.) The Mysteries of Eleusis included sexual rituals in honor of Demeter.
Persephone is the daughter of Zeus, god of Olympus and of Demeter, goddess of the Earth. So we have the heaven and the earth produced a being that is ours Persephone soul, our consciousness, originally called Core and then the rapture will be called Persephone.
Hades, infernal representing us, the fire inside the earth falls in love, rather say that you have a crush, as taught by the teachers, which kidnaps her and takes her to hell. It is important to clarify this point because according to tradition Hades rarely went to hell and one of their reasons for leaving was lust and it uses the helmet of invisibility is difficult to see.
is important to understand this point, is not really in love, but gets a crush, a concept that sometimes is not clear. Infatuation is a narcissistic projection is made on another person and where one of the most important elements to achieve identified is that one is not really aware of the other, there are components of fascination, euphoria, etc.
Because of this fascination with the adept ¸ falls and he falls and loses Unfortunately many times the honor. Recall that Core is picking poppies, which are representing the sleep of consciousness, loss of real consciousness of itself. It started the fall, when circumstances of life is lost the way, he loses himself and falls in final of consciousness itself, is losing the light, thus begins the path of darkness, Persephone is in hell, conscience is the abode of Pluto.
the adept suffers neglect, is lonely and it should find the way to the light. Anyway, there are aids, because Zeus sends Hermes, messenger of the gods, the Archmage, to recover consciousness, is the stage of return. While going to rescue, Hermes also represents all the work with the mind, she can not eat anything from the underworld, but tempted by a grenade, and eaten seven seeds so that results can not definitely out of the abyss, then must pass a third of the year there and the rest on Earth with his mother. This is symbolizing that we started debe aprender a vivir incursionando en los mundos infiernos, de otra manera no puede rescatar los valores que allí hay. Las siete semillas son los siete demonios internos de los clásicos, Pereza, Orgullo, Codicia, Ira, Lujuria, Gula y Envidia.
El último paso es el de la verdad, aquí es cuando comienza la maestría, la sublimación, la luz, pero una luz que ya está signada por otras cosas, porque a raíz de todo lo que ha vivido, la experiencia lo va a llevar a no caer de nuevo y en cierta forma este primer drama define todos los procesos que el iniciado va a tener que vivir en su vida.
Sea como sea Perséphone se transforma en la Reina del Infierno y viene a representar esa parte de nuestra alma que deberá ser rescatada en algún momento, es nuestra parte oscura, esposa de Hades y gran compañera de Hécate, la bruja infernal.
