GOLD MAN
A symbol of the atma-buddhic monad or Divine
spark ensouled in the buddhic causal-body of the human race. The
higher individuality.
"If the dviyagus brick is that same Sacrificer who is that Gold man
(Pragâpati or Agni), which then is that real form of his? Well, that
Gold man is his divine body, and this brick is his human one. As to
that Gold man, that is his immortal form, his divine form; gold
being immortal. And as to this brick being made of clay, it is
because this is his human form." - Sata. Brâh., VII. 4, 2, 17.
If the causal-body represents the Archetypal Self, who is the Divine
Monad ?-which is the original Divine Self? Well, the Divine Monad is
the spiritual expression direct from above, and the causal-body, is
the expression of the Self working from below upwards in the matter
of the planes. As to the Divine Monad, that is the Self's primordial
eternal condition, his state of being in atma. And as the
causal-body is formed of higher mental matter, so it is the
expression of the Self through human involution and constitutes the
Individuality.
