A viewer asks: “Source Creator, according to Greek Mythology, Pandora was made out of clay and given certain gifts (among them the ability to lie and curiosity) by several gods on the instructions of Zeus. The box was actually a large jar containing all the evils of the world. Pandora’s curiosity was too great and she released all the evils from the jar. Understanding what she had done, she was deeply saddened and feared the wrath of Zeus. But Zeus did not punish Pandora because he knew that this would happen. Can Creator tell us about the true meaning of this story?”

This legendary mythical account was inspired by the fall from grace of the angelics who sought to understand humanity and its foibles and develop the ability to not only render assistance but control what would happen to affect their fate. This was an overstepping of boundaries, in effect, in a sense at least, learning more than was wise to know and having a larger goal than necessary for helping others, and thus cause a burden for the self from the karmic misstep represented from getting out of balance. It was all a consequence of the rise of evil. It took place first in the physical beings alive in those times but spread to the angelics, who were tasked to give assistance, and they became seduced to satisfy their ego by attaining greater power in working with and then being in a position to control and manipulate the physical beings they were created to assist, and began to feel superior, and that imbalance led to greater and greater corruption and greater and greater departure from divine alignment. The rest, as they say, is history. This opening of Pandora's Box as a symbol of not containing evil, even at the loss of something oneself, in not satisfying the curiosity to gain greater knowledge and perhaps greater power from knowing the forbidden, and would result in tragedy and the fall from grace threatening their destruction altogether.
