Palas Atenea

Statue of Pallas Athena outside the Austrian Parliament Building, Vienna

Palas Atenea, la Diosa de la Verdad, es un ser de luz formidable que anima la conciencia cósmica de la Verdad.

La llama de la verdad es de un verde esmeralda intenso y brillante. Combina el flamígero poder azul de la voluntad de Dios con la brillante iluminación dorada de la inteligencia de Dios. Su presencia en el universo es la exaltación de la llama de la Verdad viva. Palas Atenea sostiene esta verdad por las evoluciones de la Tierra como miembro del Consejo Kármico, donde presta servicio como representante del quinto rayo de la verdad, la curación, la provisión y la precipitación.

The one who holds the office of the Goddess of Truth has always given great assistance to the messengers of the Great White Brotherhood. Her scepter of power is the flaming sword of Truth that cleaves asunder the Real from the unreal and keeps the way of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden.

Embodiments

Palas Atenea estuvo encarnada como la suma sacerdotisa del Templo de la Verdad de la Atlántida, sirviendo bajo Vesta.

Más tarde guardó la llama de la verdad de la Madre en la antigua Grecia, cuando ese templo y esa llama del templo fueron transferidas desde la Atlántida a aquella tierra. Prestó servicio como directora de las vírgenes y los oráculos del templo de Delfos, que eran mensajeros de los dioses y las diosas que hablaban la Verdad y la sabiduría de la Ley a los antiguos. Palas Atenea y los miembros de la Hermandad quisieron mantener vivos los misterios interiores de los retiros. Los recuerdos de los dioses, las funciones de las vírgenes del templo y los oráculos de Delfos fueron los últimos vestigios de la comunicación por parte de los maestros ascendidos en la cultura griega. Tras el cierre de esas fuentes debido a la discordia y rebelión de la gente, comenzamos a seguir el curso del pensamiento moderno cuando alcanza y culmina en lo que hoy se manifiesta como humanismo.

In ancient Greece

Pallas Athena is the twin flame of the Maha Chohan, the representative of the Holy Spirit to the earth. Together they are an indomitable pair in defense of truth. The Maha Chohan was embodied as the Greek poet Homer, who spoke of Pallas Athena in his epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Pallas Athena is one of the most important deities in Greek mythology, and in Roman mythology she is identified as Minerva. Her influence spans everything from the administration of government and militaristic pursuits to the delicate arts of spinning and weaving. She is seen as the very personification of wisdom who presides over the intellectual and moral side of human life.

Athena was the heart of the spiritual life of ancient Athens. The Greeks adored her as the defender of their cities and honored her with many titles. She is revered as the Goddess of War and Peace, the Goddess of Wisdom, patron of arts and crafts, and guardian of cities. She is also honored as the inventor and protector of culture and as the protector of civilized life and agriculture. She has been called the Counselor-Goddess and Goddess of the Assembly for her role in maintaining law and order in the courts and administering justice. She is also looked to as the Goddess of the Working Woman because of her mastery in spinning, weaving and needlework.

Among the many inventions attributed to her are the plow, the rake, the flute, the ship and the science of numbers. Her emblem is the olive, emblem of peace; and her bird is the owl, representative of wisdom.

Athena is popularly admired as the “martial maiden” who inspires and accompanies heroes in their adventures and battles, yet never succumbs to amorous advances, fiercely defending her virginity. She was one of three virgin-goddesses who could not be stirred by the influences of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. One of the earliest accounts of Athena appears in the Iliad, where she is a war goddess, inspiring and fighting alongside the Greek heroes. To possess her favor is considered synonymous with military prowess.

According to the traditions of Greek mythology, Pallas Athena was the favorite daughter of Zeus, the powerful father of the Gods and king of Mount Olympus. Her mother was the Goddess Metis, whose name means “thought” or “intelligence.” Metis was believed to be so wise that she knew more than all the gods and men together.

Zeus was warned that if he had children with Metis they would be more powerful than he and would eventually dethrone him. Thus, when Metis became pregnant with Athena, Zeus swallowed Metis in order to prevent the child’s birth. Soon after, Zeus became afflicted with a violent headache. He went to the smithy god Hephaestus, who split his skull with a bronze ax in order to relieve the pain. Out sprang the bright-eyed Athena in full armour, shouting triumphantly and brandishing a sharp spear!

The Acropolis and the Parthenon

The birth of Athena from the head of Zeus can be seen as symbolic of her rational temperament. Her very nature reflects the triumph of reason over passion, as she is consistently unmoved by the emotions of passion or romantic love. Her father is the most powerful and her mother the wisest of the gods and goddesses. Athena is thus a product of the union of power and wisdom.

To the Athenians, she was known as Parthenos, which means “Virgin,” or “Maiden.” They built the Parthenon in her honor on the Acropolis at Athens. The beautiful Parthenon was one of the largest Greek temples and a masterpiece of Greek architecture. It was the spiritual center of Athens. Built on a high hill, it was visible for miles around and stood as a symbol of Athenian culture, wealth and power. Inside, toward the west end, towered a forty-foot-high ivory and gold statue of the goddess, sculpted by Phidias.

In art, Athena is represented as a stately figure, clothed in armour and bearing her breastplate, the aegis, which no arrow could pierce. The aegis is ringed in serpents and is adorned with the head of the Gorgon Medusa. Athena often wears a golden helmet and holds in her right hand a spear to strike at a serpent near her feet. It has thus been said that she wields the spear of knowledge against the serpent of ignorance. To the ancient Greeks, Athena was known as the Spear-shaker. They placed her statue on their temples, and when the rays of the sun would dance on her spear, it looked as if she were shaking it.

Pallas Athena was the muse and inspiration of Sir Francis Bacon, author of the Shakespearean plays, an embodiment of Saint Germain. In her honor, he founded a secret literary society called the Knights of the Helmet. It is believed that he used the name Shakespeare partly in tribute to the goddess Pallas Athena, the “shaker of the spear.”

The Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness

On June 30, 1976, in Washington, D.C., Pallas Athena called for the raising of the consciousness of the people of earth by the flame of truth—the Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness. She said:

I wish you would understand this day that when I say I AM Truth incarnate, I must rely upon your body, your flesh and your blood, your mind and your soul to be the incarnation of the Word of Truth that I AM!...

I AM Pallas Athena. I AM Greek. I AM Roman. I AM freeborn. I AM a member of every nation. I AM an American. From this day and forevermore, I claim you for the cause of Truth because you have made that cause your own. In the living flame of Truth, I am grateful for your love of Truth, of liberty, for your courage and your self-sacrifice. I am grateful, and I bow before the flame of Truth within you. And I will use that flame to light a nation and to light a world!

As a result of this dictation, Pallas Athena, Saint Germain and El Morya sent the messenger and their chelas throughout the world to bring the truth of the message of the ascended masters.

Retreat

Palas Atenea atiende las necesidades de la humanidad desde el Templo de la Verdad, sobre la isla de Creta. Sirviendo directamente bajo Vesta, la Diosa del Sol, concentra la verdad del amor de Dios para la Tierra. Palas Atenea también trabaja con Hilarión, el chohán del quinto rayo, y con otros maestros de la curación y del rayo verde.

Las almas acuden al Templo de la Verdad en sus cuerpos sutiles por la noche (durante el sueño) para ser instruidas sobre las cuestiones sutiles de la ley cósmica, la ciencia de la curación, las matemáticas, la música, la geometría divina y las leyes de la alquimia y la precipitación. Muchas de las personas que llegan a la sociedad actual con formas ingeniosas para abrir las puertas de la comprensión superior en estos campos han estudiado con los maestros en este retiro.

Whenever you are engaged in a service to the ascended masters, call to Pallas Athena and her legions of Truth to go before you, to be the bearer of the mighty sword of Truth for the binding of the force of anti-truth or Antichrist.
