The Greek Hades is the place of death of the Spirit of man, namely, the physical plane. It<br />

has four rivers, the Styx (night), Phlegethon (fire), Lethe (forgetfulness) and Cocytus<br />

(groans). The river Lethe<br />

relates to the forgetting by the Soul of its spiritual origin during its life in the physical<br />

body. The four rivers are similar to those of the Garden of Eden, but on a much lower<br />

level of manifestation of the cosmic mandala of the circle and the four-armed cross.<br />

The Olympian gods made vows over the waters of the Styx. If they broke these vows<br />

they were deprived of breath (their spiritual life) and forced to live for nine years<br />

Tartarus is the lower desire levels of the Astral Plane and the Elysian fields are the<br />

Higher Astral and Mental Planes which the Soul inhabits after the death of the physical<br />

body and during sleep.<br />

mort by the Sanskrit word karma relating to the carriage of death or the Soul in the<br />

physical body. It has to descend to the physical plane because of its karma, the law of<br />

cause and effect. Man by his actions determines his future, as he sows so also shall he<br />

reap.<br />

The dog-headed god of Anubis is the psychopompus or leader of Souls, who is also<br />

Thoth-Hermes or Mercury. Mercury as ruler of Virgo, the Intuition of the Higher Self can<br />

lead the mind of the Lower Self from its living death in the physical body. This life we<br />
