Zeus came to Leda as a swan. The aquatic bird represents an emanation (Aries) from the<br />

Great Sea of Pisces. Leda (Taurus as the Verbum) bore two pairs of twins (Gemini) one<br />

pair being Castor and Pollux. They are the Dios kouroi or sons of Zeus. One (Pollux) is<br />

the Higher Self and the other (Castor) is the Lower Self who was killed (descended into<br />

manifestation) by Idas, son of Aphareus. Zeus offered Pollux immortality but he refused<br />

to accept it unless reunited with Castor. Zeus therefore allowed them to<br />

spend every alternate day together, one day in Heaven and the next on Earth. (This refers<br />

to the Soul being able to leave the physical body during sleep and become active on the<br />

astral plane.) Finally, they were both brought to Heaven (at the death of the physical<br />

body) and became the twin Stars (Star-Monads) of Gemini.<br />

Hypermnestra (the Great Mother) had twins (the Monad in Gemini as the Higher and<br />

Lower Selves). These were Proteus (the formless Higher Self) and Acrisius, who had a<br />

daughter Danae (the Soul). She was locked in an underground chamber (the physical<br />

body) but Zeus visited her in a shower of gold. (Gold is the Solar metal of Leo-Atma, the<br />

Spirit of the Higher Self, which can awaken the Soul<br />

imprisoned in the chamber of the physical body Danae gave birth to the divine child<br />

Perseus from whom came Heracles.<br />
