MANEROS, THE LITTLE BOY

A symbol of the personality or lower mind in its astro-mental body.

"Others say (of Maneros) that he fell into the sea, and afterwards received the greatest honours on account of the Goddess (Isis); for that the maneros whom the Egyptians so frequently call upon in their banquets is none other than this very boy." - PLUTARCH, Isis and Osiris, § 17.

The "falling into the sea” means simply the resolution of the residual particles of the astro-mental vehicle into their primary constituents on the astral plane. The "honours" are the re-elaboration, through the co-operation of the forces in the laboratory of nature, of the particles into further combinations. The maneros at the banquets" signifies that it is the mental function which is appealed to whenever the thirst for knowledge is sought to be gratified.
