KAIOMARTS OR GAYOMARD
A symbol of the Archetypal Man.
"Kaiomarts was both man and woman, but through his death there came
from him the first human pair; a tree grew from his body, and bore
ten pair of men and women." - Zoroastrian System.
The archetypal man is male-female (atma-buddhi), and includes mental
(masculine) and buddhic (feminine) principles, and through the
"death" of these, there appeared the kama-manasic and astral
elements, and from these grew the "tree" of life, which corresponds
to five lower subplanes whereon the dual manifestations of the two
elements yield the number ten pair of duads, commencing the human
root-races in the third round.
"God is the eternal Substance within which lie hidden, waiting for
expression, every conceivable form or mode of the ideal good. It is
a portion of this infinite divine substance which has been ground
into the clay of our earthly human life. And just as the supply of
clay-forming rock in the physical world is practically
inexhaustible, and contains innumerable varieties wherefrom works of
beauty may be produced, so the infinitude of God contains within
itself more potencies of good than the universe of universes can
ever exhaust to all eternity. But we children of his heart are here
that we may utter some of them to his glory and our own." - R. J.
CAMPBELL, Serm., A Christian World-view.
“All this, up to the Third Round, is formless as matter, and
senseless consciousness. This Adam of dust requires the Soul of Life
to be breathed into him: the two middle principles, which are the
sentient life of the irrational animal and the human soul, for the
former is irrational without the latter. It is only when, from a
potential androgyne, man has become separated into male and female,
that he will be endowed with this conscious, rational, individual
Soul (manas), the principle or intelligence of the Elohim,' to
receive which, he has to eat of the fruit of Knowledge from the Tree
of Good and Evil." - H. P. BLAVATSKY, Secret Doctrine, Vol. I. p.
267.
