We have already described the division of the kingdoms of consciousness between the three brothers on several occasions. It is however useful to return to this point and add some details regarding the realm of Poseidon, as the terms of modern language used to discuss consciousness are not necessarily used in the same way in this work.

Consciousness, or waking physical consciousness, represented by the surface of the earth, is the shared domain of the three brothers. Its boundaries are not the same for every individual as each person has a different experience of the planes surrounding it.

The kingdom of Hades, the inconscient, is a consciousness closed upon itself and evolving within itself, which contains everything but in which nothing is formulated or expressed. The subconscious, the kingdom of Poseidon, is the part of our being in which there is neither will nor consciously awakened feeling, and which receives and stores every one of our impressions and experience.

It contains all the primitive reactions of a life striving to emerge from matter. Everything that is repressed sinks and remains lodged there, ready to manifest itself at every opportunity. From this area, unresolved things resurface through dreams or in the waking condition in a mechanical, repetitive, obstinate way, often without any relation to current situations. These are largely responsible for our illnesses. This subconscious belongs to the three planes of the mind, the vital and the physical, and is universal as much as it is individual.

Although it is one of the primary obstacles to yogic progress, Sri Aurobindo advises that one should only engage with it to reject it as something distinct from our essential nature, and only as a result of the action of ignorance. But focusing on this imperfect aspect of our nature causes depression and must therefore be avoided. Outside of these three planes and far lower than the kingdom of Hades is the realm of the negation of Spirit, Tartarus, which Sri Aurobindo refers to as Nescience.

Hesiod, Theogony Finally, above the three lower planes of consciousness is situated the supramental. In mythology, it is represented by the plane of creation of the Titans and of some of their children. In the first phase of yoga, the seeker is mostly in relation with the world of Zeus and his children. As he moves forward he descends progressively into the layers of the subconscious and is faced with the challenges of Poseidon with increasing frequency, as is Ulysses for example.

Like Demeter, who induces a coming and going from the kingdom of Hades with Persephone as an intermediary, Poseidon too dwells in his golden palace beneath the sea during certain periods, and on Mount Olympus during others. This explains its mythical location off the coast of Samothrace, the site of Mystery Schools preceding those of Eleusis.

Orpheus initiated the Argonauts to the mysteries of Samothrace during one of the initial periods of the path. But in what concerns this god, his characteristics do not only point to the necessary work of mastery over these same forces within the seeker, but also to the attitude that must be adopted in regards to the quest; if Poseidon is ill-tempered it is because we cannot satisfy ourselves with false appearances or half-hearted engagements, as broaching the deep layers of consciousness is a difficult process.

If he is irritable and baleful it is because tepid feelings are not suitable, and the transformation of our vital nature cannot be carried out without undergoing intense storms. If he is resentful, it is because the memories lodged in the subconscious will one day or the other return to the surface to be appropriately addressed.

As a deity he is therefore strongly present in the advanced phases of yoga, during which one must fulfill the difficult equilibrium of a mastery over the energy of life whilst ensuring its full development, for the latter is for a long time the motor force and the source of enthusiasm of the quest. There has been some muted criticism of the Poseidon Principles and questions asked as to whether the Signatories are actually willing to make less money in order to satisfy their environmental, social and governance standards.

As part of this, the industry is wondering whether the banks' commitment to the Poseidon Principles is genuine or rather a public relations exercise for the banks to be seen as "greener". However, the Signatories to the Principles are adamant that it is something that is taken very seriously and that actions will speak louder than words, as the Signatories finance more green vessels.

On 29 January , it was announced that International Seaways, a New York listed shipowner, closed a series of secured credit facilities worth USDm in green financing 4. It is said that the financing is consistent with the "decarbonisation trajectory" 5 outlined in the Poseidon Principles and that pricing will be linked to the fleet's carbon efficiency to ensure it aligns with the IMO objectives.

But what about smaller shipping companies? Alternative lenders, such as RMK Maritime, who focus on small to medium sized shipowners looking to finance second hand ship acquisitions, and who may have difficulties in attracting the traditional lenders, argue that continuing to use an older vessel can prove more environmentally friendly than scrapping and replacing one 6.
