What did Theseus really kill in the Labyrinth?
|
The Labyrinth symbolizes the Descent of the Soul into the Dark and Complicated Realm of Earth. The Minotaur that Theseus seeks to kill symbolizes the lower animal nature of Theseus himself. Ariadne's Thread symbolizes the Memory of Light, which the Soul must preserve during its Descent into the Labyrinth, to be able to re-emerge into the Light after killing the Minotaur. Theseus is the Incarnated Soul, Apprenticing in Incarnation. Ariadne symbolizes the Help that Theseus can and must get from other Incarnated Souls. And more specifically he tells us that a man alone cannot defeat the Minotaur, that is, the lower aspects of his nature. Need Wife, Female. A port to turn around. A memory. The 7 young men and 7 young women that the Minotaur requested every year as a sacrifice from the Athenians, symbolize the 7 Stages of Descent in Matter and the 7 Stages of Ascent in Spirit. These Stages are the well-known Centers or Chakras. On top of this pattern, other events were added over time, such as Theseus's father Aegeus, who allegedly killed himself by jumping into the sea at Sounio because Theseus forgot to put up a White Flag on his ship on the way back and he thought his son was dead. And this is because the Aegean, with its scattered islands, looked like a labyrinth, which was formed when the Aegean, which was once not a sea, sank and became a sea. So we can guess that the Teaching of the Soul that we developed at the beginning, weakened and became a Myth when the Aegean actually sank. |

A clarification.
I said that the Aegean Sea sank, but it may not have sunk by an earthquake, that is, it may not have subsided.
But the Mediterranean was flooded when the Heracleian Pillars of Gibraltar were opened, by an earthquake in that area probably, and the water from the Atlantic Ocean entered and the Mediterranean was flooded, and all that was above the surface of the sea was left dry.

Continuing our reasoning intuitively, we can "see" that water entered the Mediterranean from Gibraltar when Atlantis sank, just beyond the Pillars of Hercules in the Atlantic Ocean.
