VOHUMAN, OR VOHUMANO, THE GOOD MIND

A symbol of Glorious Achievement in that the Higher Self attains his purpose, and vanquishes ignorance and evil in his creation.

"The first of Ormazd's creatures of the world was the sky, and Vohuman by good procedure produced the light of the world, along with which was the good religion of the Mazdayasnians, this was because the (future) renovation which happens to the creatures was known to him." - Bundahis, I. 25.

The first plane of the manifest universe and soul is the buddhic (sky), the first production from Atma. But Vohuman (good thought) had previously appeared in the ideal scheme of the Supreme, as signifying the principle of glorious achievement which should bring about the development of the manifest. Then was produced consciousness (light) in the union of spirit and matter, and the working of the spiritual life (religion) which should eventually entirely renovate the world and the soul.
