The Cycle of Resolve

Higher and lower Manas are figured allegorically as the two inseparable companions of man through life, the one his Guardian Angel, the other his evil Demon.
—H. P. Blavatsky
On the 21st of December, with the Winter Solstice, when the sun begins to move northward, we shall be entering the Cycle of Resolve. It is appropriate, therefore, that we reflect here on the nature of Man. For to know what we really are is the first step toward becoming what we ought to be.
When we say "Man" what do we mean? Of which man do we speak? Is it the man of flesh, of desire, of reason or of conscience? Which aspect of ourselves represents the Real Man in each one of us? The concept we hold of our own nature is vitally significant; for it determines our way of life and moulds our own character.
