Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes
I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The
thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the
terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.
Inner Minerva
Our inner Minerva is the Goddess of wisdom and the Lady of
justice within us. Our inner Minerva is a part of our Being that we all carry
within.
How our Inner Minerva Helps Us
Our inner Minerva gives us wisdom and helps us by giving us
insights to understand the teachings and she also imparts new teachings to us.
She gives us wisdom, which is knowledge plus comprehension.
It is knowledge that goes to the intellect. This information can come as facts and
as symbols.
She gives us though impartial knowledge. She also helps us
to comprehend the doctrine. She perhaps does not give us knowledge related to personal
issues or problems or knowledge related to the lives of others.
To understand the doctrine of Master Samuel we can rely on
the help from Minerva. When our inner Minerva is more active we can comprehend
the teachings much more.
She can help us to interpret the symbols that come from or
are related to the doctrine.
Our inner Minerva teaches us what we needed to know at the
right moment.
Master Samael and Minerva
Master Samael says our inner Minerva has knowledge about all
things. Master Samael said that the parts of the Being all have their function
and they wish to perfect themselves in their function.
The parts of the Being can present to us as an archetype in dreams,
meditation or during deep reflection.
Master Samael once invoked the Goddess Minerva that the
Romans knew, and what appeared was a triangle made of stone. Then in the middle
of the triangle shone a blue light where the Goddess’ blue eyes shone and then She
spoke saying "I am Minerva the goddess of wisdom, what do you want of
me?".
Master Samuel said ''Wisdom". “What do you want it for”
She asked and he replied “to help humanity".
What Master Samael understood from his experience with Minerva is that to acquire wisdom one must crystallise the three primary forces within oneself.
Minerva Amongst the Romans and the Greeks
Minerva was known as Minerva amongst the Romans and Minerva was
known as Athena amongst the Greeks. She was the daughter of Zeus and emerged
from the head of Zeus as a fully grown adult dressed in gold armour with a
spear. She was also a very fierce warrior, almost like a Goddess of war.
She was portrayed to be very logical and practical as the
goddess of justice to both the Greeks and Romans.
Conclusion
Our inner Minerva is above the conflicts of decision making and
She is above right and wrong. She is the one who makes decisions based on
ethics.
Moral judgements are very rigid and difficult work within,
and they also change. Justice, lion, scale and sword are all related as well as
an open book.
She can help us when confused about the do tune. She can dungy
our thinking. When stuck in the mind she can help us to see the way out, especially
when we can not get out of our moral judgements.
End (610).
