mental body
The mental body (the mind) is one of the subtle bodies in esoteric philosophies, in some religious teachings and in New Age thought. It is understood as a sort of body made up of thoughts, just as the emotional body consists of emotions and the physical body is made up of matter. In occult understanding, thoughts are not just subjective qualia, but have an existence apart from the associated physical organ, the brain.
==Theosophical and New Age conceptions==
According to Theosophists C.W. Leadbeater 〔Leadbeater, C. W., ''Man, Visible and Invisible'', 1902〕 and Annie Besant 〔Besant, Annie, ''Man and His Bodies'', 1911〕 (Adyar School of Theosophy), and later Alice Bailey, the mental body is equivalent to the "Lower Manas" of Blavatsky's original seven principles of man.〔Blavatsky, H.P., ''The Key to Theosophy'', 1889〕 But the New Age writer Barbara Brennan describes the Mental body as intermediate between the Emotional and the Astral body in terms of the layers in the "Human Energy Field" or Aura.〔Brennan, Barbara Ann, ''Hands of Light : A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field ((Mental body ))'', Bantam Books, 1987〕
The mental body is usually considered in terms of an aura that includes thoughtforms. In Theosophical and Alice Bailey's teachings, it corresponds to the Mental plane.
