The Causal body - originally Karana-Sarira - is a Yogic and Vedantic concept
that was adopted and modified by Theosophy and from the latter made its way
into the general New Age movement and contemporary western esotericism. It
generally refers to the highest or innermost subtle body that veils the true
soul. -Wiki
It is also where strong thought energetic forms can reside that may lift out
and go forward embedded with the light body of the soul as like a bundle from
this life carrying a mark in the works. I like Wgm's description here of
interpenetrating energetic form to describe the flow of the energy bodies. That
is useful and very good as a way of looking at it. Activated in the human form
they drape as flowing fabric like fields. In life we use it all and might give
dents to the fields that can interrupt things in life and beyond too. And then
it is in the realm of spiritual practice as works in life here that pat things
down and smooth out the frays. Hopefully we haven't torn things up too much in
our life-times and weighted down things with too many knots in the fabric of
the subtle systems and we are settled and straightened out before leaving this
life. A life well lived.

One healer who visits FF twice a year says he's never seen so many top heavy
causal bodies as he sees here. Lots of spiritual refinement, but ungrounded!

The subtler you get the more tenuous forms become until they become arupa,
or formless consciousness and light. The cut off is the mid-causal above which
all things are formless, expanded, consciousness and light. There is no need
for forms at those higher levels.
Most people's causal bodies are very undeveloped but are apparently a glorious
thing to see in an enlightened soul. All the bodies interpenetrate from the
physical within which we have the etheric or pranic body, within that is the
astral and within that is the causal body, beyond these bodies, all 'bodies'
are shared in common one is fast merging towards the Buddhic or unity of all
things. However one can still incarnate at any of the lower planes at will,
like Jesus Christ demonstrated.
That's why MMY calls the Devas (shining ones) creative intelligences of nature.

Thanks, wgm. How is the causal body different from the astral body?

Yes, absolutely, the astral aura and world is supposedly full of color, your
aura can be a beautiful pink (love), yellow (intelligence) and even purple or
violet (devotion), OR it can be a hideous mixture of browns (greed/lust), greys
(depression) and black (hate, evil), depending.

wgm, one site I visited equated Kama rupa with the astral body. Does that jive
with what you know?

Kama=Desire, Rupa=form; i.e. the form of desire or the desire body! Usually
referred to in the after death state where the unfulfilled desires are left in
what the Catholics call 'purgatory'. This kama-rupa (as opposed to arupa or
formless) is the suppository of all your worldly desires, if evil it takes on a
hideous form and is attracted to hellish conditions, if good the outcome is
happiness, even heaven or what the theosophists call Devachan.
Noted often in Theosophy and Vedic literature.

Richard, what do you mean by Kama-rupa?

Apparently all the TM mantras are feminine aspect mantras. There is no Shiva
without Shakti. MMY fully supports the yantra as a golden dome, as pure vastu -
an enclosure to realize pure consciousness; vastu is almost pure Shakti
symbolism, and represents the universal womb. MMY is a proponent of yantra and
Indian vastu and that's why the golden dome has an east-facing entrance with a
nice fence around it - east is the traditional location of Kama-rupa. They
don't call it "Mother" India for nothing.
A 'yantra' can be any image, two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Yantras are
tools for facilitating yogic enstasis, that is, a meditation that is
transcendental. In tantric yoga, there are mental techniques and tools, such as
mantra and yantra, asana, puja, etc., used as aids to meditation. A yantra is
any design that symbolizes a void with the bindu at the center. Shakti is in
fact, listed as a progenitor in the Guru Dev puja, right after Naryana.
"Shaktism's focus on the Divine Feminine does not imply a rejection of
Masculine or Neuter divinity. However, both are deemed to be inactive in the
absence of Shakti. As set out in the first line of Adi Shankara's renowned
Shakta hymn, Saundaryalahari (c. 800 CE)..."

Interesting, but MMY discarded this aspect of Devi worship; thus not
following in the footsteps of Guru Dev. I've not encountered any instances of
MMY promoting Devi worship, Sri Yantra or Sri Chakra pujas, or for that matter,
the knowledge of Tantric symbols, or any related practices, aside silent
repetition of the mantras. No japa or worship of the Sri Yantra, or the
Lalitasahasranama. .
...
OTOH, Ramana Maharshi - even though regarded as a "pure Advaitin", had regular
daily Sri Chakra pujas conducted at his Ashram. So go figure....MMY is a
Sabateur.....effectively putting an end to Devi worship in that particular
lineage.
