“Plucking The Apples From The Trees
In The Garden Of The Hesperides”
The Garden Of The Hesperides By Frederick, Lord Leighton, 1892.
The Garden Of The Hesperides By Frederick, Lord Leighton, 1892
The Garden Of The Hesperides Is Hera’s Orchard In The West, Where Either A Single Tree Or A Grove Of Illumination – Immortality-giving Golden Apples Grew.
The Apples Were Planted From The Fruited Branches That Gaia The Earth Goddess Gave To Her As A Wedding Gift When Hera Accepted Zeus. The 3 Lady Hesperides Were Given The Task Of Tending To The Grove, But Occasionally Plucked From It Themselves. Not Trusting Them, Hera Also Placed In The Garden A Never-sleeping, Hundred-headed, Dragon, Named Ladon, See The Lenean Hydra – This Is The Same Beast As Ladon – As An Additional Safeguard.
The 16th-century German Illustrator Has Been Influenced By The Beast Of Revelation In His Depiction Of The Hydra.
In Greek Mythology, The Lernaean Hydra (Greek: Λερναία Ὕδρα) Was An Ancient Nameless Serpent-like Chthonic Water Beast That Possessed Numerous Heads— The Poets Mention More Heads Than The Vase-painters Could Paint— And Poisonous Breath (Hyginus, 30). The Hydra Of Lerna Had Heads Which When Cut Sprouted Three More, Was Killed By Hercules As The Second Of His Twelve Labours And Refers To The Rubbish Unnecessary Thoughtforms Of The Mind Created By Trauma Formed Energy Blockages. Hercules Destroyed The Heads Of The Hydra With Sacred Kundalini Fire – The Energy Enhancement Meditation And The Seven Step Process For The Removal Of Energy Blockages.
The Eleventh Labour Of Hercules
Walter Burkert Has Called The Labours And Other Myths Of Hercules “A Conglomerate Of Popular Tales Which Was Exploited Only Secondarily By The High Art Of Poetry”, And It Was Not Until The Fifth Century That Poets Of The Classic Age Could Draw The Myth Into “A Tragic, Heroic, And Human Atmosphere And Away From Its Natural Thrust Outwards To A Carefree Realm Beyond The Human” (Burkert 1985:208).
As Philosophical, Moral, And Eventually Allegorical Overlays Came To Be Applied To Hercules Death-cheating Superhuman Exploits, Behind Their Outer, Literal Meaning, The Hercules Figure Came To Represent An Inner Mystical Tradition, And Thus The Labours Could Be Interpreted In Terms Of The Spiritual Path. The Last Three Labours (10-12) Of Heracles Are Generally Considered Metaphors About Death Or Illumination. Hercules Was Unique Among Greek Heroes In That No Tomb Of Hercules Was Ever Localized, And The Olympian Sacrifices And Chthonic Libations Were Offered Simultaneously To Him Everywhere.

In Order To Make Ten Out Of The Twelve Labours Of Heracles (Also Known As The Twelve Labours Of Hercules), And Thus Destroy The Essence Of The Ilumination Myth Path, It Was Suggested That Eurystheus Discounted Those Where Heracles Was Aided Or Paid, And So Two Additional Labours Were Given.
The First Of These Was To Steal The Apples From The Garden Of The Hersperides. Heracles First Caught Nereus, The Shape-shifting Sea God, To Learn Where The Garden Of The Hesperides Was Located. In Some Variations, Heracles, Either At The Start Or At The End Of His Task, Meets Antaeus, Who Was Invincible As Long As He Touched His Mother, Gaia, The Earth Goddess.
Antaeus Was Killed (The Process Of Illumination Requires The Ability To Get Out Of The Body Into The Higher Chakras, The Same Path We Take When We Die, But Without The Advantage Of Being Able To Come Back Along The Silver Chord) Antaeus Was Killed By Suspending Him In A Tree – See The Myth Of Odin In Axis Mundi Where Odin Spent 9 Nights Supended In The Axix Mundi Tree Above The Crown Chakra In Order To Become Illuminated And Gain Psychic Vision – Make All His Sight One In The Third Eye.

Finally Making His Way To The Garden Of The Hesperides, Heracles Tricked Atlas Into Retrieving Some Of The Golden Apples For Him, By Offering To Hold Up The Heavens For A Little While (Atlas Was Able To Take Them As, In This Version, He Was The Father Or Otherwise Related To The Hesperides). Upon His Return, Atlas Decided That He Did Not Want To Take The Heavens Back, And Instead Offered To Deliver The Apples Himself, But Heracles Tricked Him Again By Agreeing To Take His Place On Condition That Atlas Relieve Him Temporarily So That Heracles Could Make His Cloak More Comfortable. Atlas Agreed, But Heracles Reneged And Walked Away.
According To Some Heracles Was The Only Person To Steal The Apples, Other Than Perseus, Although Athena Later Returned The Apples To Their Rightful Place In The Garden. They Are Considered By Some To Be The Same “Apples Of Joy” – The Golden Apples Of The Sun, That Tempted Atalanta, As Opposed To The “Apple Of Discord” – Blockages Which Exist Above The Crown Chakra, Cutting Us Off From Our Soul Chakra – Used By Eris To Start A Beauty Contest (The Ego Blockages) On Olympus.
On Attic Pottery, Especially From The Late Fifth Century, Heracles Is Depicted Sitting In Bliss In The Gardens Of The Hesperides, Attended By The Maidens. This Is The Story Of Heaven – In The Chakras Above The Head Along The Antahkarana Of The World Tree Of Axis Mundi. Later, William Shakespeare Wrote “For Valour, Is Not Love A Hercules. Still Climbing Trees In The Hesperides?” (Love’s Labours Lost, Iv.iii).
Hercules, The Son Of God, Deus Or Zeus, Needs To Contact The Chakras Above The Head In Order To Achieve Illumination.
To Do This He Needs To Gain The Help Of Atlas Of The Earth – Energy Enhancement Initiation Three Is Contact With Kundalini Chakra In The Center Of The Earth – Vitriol – In Order To Steal The Golden Apples Of The Sun Of The Garden Of Hesperides –
