HOUSEHOLDER

A symbol of the Individuality, or causal Self, who occupies the “house " or causal-body on the higher mental plane.

"As all rivers, both great and small, find a resting place in the ocean, even so men of all orders find protection with householders." - Laws of Manu, VI. 90.

The men of all orders " are the egos in four stages of consciousness on the mental plane, centred on various sub-planes. These are periodically withdrawn into the causal-body from which they are again emanated by the Individuality when manifestation is due.
