ORDERS OF THE SPACES
The "orders " signify the laws of manifestation
of conditions of progressive development. The “spaces" represent the
means by which such conditions are attained.
ORDERS, FOUR OF MANU
A symbol of four successive states of
consciousness on the mental and buddhic planes in the course of the
growth of the soul.
'The Student, the Householder, the Hermit, and the Ascetic, these
constitute four separate orders which all spring from the order of
Householders." - Laws of Manu, VI. 87.
The "Student " represents an ego manifesting in the mental-body as a
centre of consciousness on the four lower mental sub-planes. This is
the personality either incarnate or excarnate. The "Householder is
the ego seated in the causal-body on the fifth mental sub-plane.
This is the individuality from which proceed the other three phases
of consciousness. The "Hermit" is the ego manifesting in a centre of
consciousness on the sixth mental sub-plane. And the "Ascetic" is
the ego manifesting in a centre of consciousness on the buddhic
plane. The two last "orders are without lower vehicles and receive
no vibrations from the lower planes.
