Desire body
Vehicle of feeling and desire
The desire body is the vehicle through which feeling, attraction, aversion, and desire are experienced and expressed in Heindel's constitution. Its torso position is a broad visual anchor for an interpenetrating vehicle; it should not be read as the Theosophical kāma rūpa or as a literal organ location without qualification.
