The Myth of Earth

Yamblika's talks about specifically in the day mysterious that some souls come back to the cosmos, even though their spiritual rank would enable them to go to a better place and just hang out. Just stay where they are at the highest reaches of the cosmos. They come back as instruments of the gods to bring the power of the gods into the world to save us basically. Kind of like Plato's myth of the cave reinterpreted in a fourth century platonic vein.
