PROMETHEUS IN ACADEMIA
Erle
Frayne Argonza / Ra
Welcome, Prometheus!
Descend upon the pillars and corridors
of Academia!
Have your merriment and feasts among
The expectant adherents of your holy
fire.
Illuminate the residents of Academia
with your
Undying light: mana of reason and
knowledge.
Awaken us to the flowering
consciousness of the knower
As your light fires up the longing
lamps of us all.
Remain! Linger on! Let your sacred
essence be
Of the inherited Elixir of our
triumphant march
Along Life’s trek!
Happy at last will be Zeus over our
sublime fraternity.
[Writ. 11 November 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila]
REFLECTION
‘Prometheus
in academia’ signifies the mystic who, though still challenged to rise above
the surplus Desire (signified by Prometheus tied on a rock, continuously
consumed by a vulture), chooses to base in the academe. Many of us would-be
White Robes did choose this platform for spreading higher Light, an experience
that I found very fulfilling.
When
I was still actively teaching at the University of the Philippines (old
Manila campus), I met another mystic there, Prof Piwi Aragon. I was so glad
that we were both teaching for the same department (social sciences). Glad all
the more as I found out that other faculty members were seekers, and altogether
we enriched our library with esoteric books, mentored students in the Teaching,
and spoke on prophecy right inside the university on certain occasions.
In
2008, I ascended spiritually, finally transcending the ‘Promethean phase’ of my
initiation. Looking back, the teaching profession actually taught me a lot
about how to become a guru, and I needed that very much in as much as I was a
great warrior in past lives who just wasn’t keen on mentoring the way a
professor and guru does. The academe was my training ground to teach well, to
practice flexibility in handling seekers of diverse psyche (personality).
Now,
as to Zeus, in case some seekers still aren’t knowledgeable about the matter,
Zeus signifies the Dyaus-Pitar or ‘sky fathers’ of antiquity. They were the
Solar Pitris who were called forth to help evolve humans that we know today,
for as Blavatsky cogitated, nature alone cannot breed humans. Beings of higher
awareness must be involved in the creation of human species. The Solar Pitris
were preceded by the Lunar Pitris, who were the creator fathers of the
primordial Pangean races.
