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.

Max Heindel, The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception (primary_canonical)

Heindel, The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, Part I, ch. III, 'The Sevenfold Constitution of Man,' treats the desire body as the vehicle of feeling, emotion, attraction, and aversion; its torso placement in this file is a schematic projection of an interpenetrating vehicle.
