THEOSOPHY - ASTRAL BODIES - THE MENTAL BODY One of the spiritual bodies of man, as revealed by higher clairvoyance.From the 1920 edition of Charles Leadbeater's, Man Visible and Invisible. Examples of Different Types of Men as Seen by Means of Trained Clairvoyance. The Mental Body of the average man or woman - at this stage, there is an incease in the ovoid film of the Mental body - the higher self has been developed, but there is still, in the lower parts of the body, the red that is a certain indication that the human is still subject to anger. The division, or polarity, in the Mental Body reflects the division in the being of the subject.
