ON THE KAMA-LOKA AND DEVACHAN. OiV THE FATE OF THE LOWER "PRINCIPLES." Enq. You spoke of Kama-loha, what is it? Theo. When the man dies, his lower three principles leave him for ever; i.e., body, life, and the vehicle of the latter, the astral body or the double of the living man. And then, his four principles--the central or middle principle, the animal soul or Kama-rupa, with what it has assimilated from the lower Manas, and the higher triad find themselves in Kamaloka. The latter is an astral locality, the limbvs of scholastic theology, the Hades of the ancients, and, strictly speaking, a locality only in a relative sense. It has neither a definite area nor boundary, but exists within subjective space; i.e., is beyond our sensuous perceptions. Still it exists, and it is there that the astral eidolons of all the beings that have lived, animals included, await their second death. For the animals it comes with the disintegration and the entire fading out of their astral particles to the last. For the human eidolon it begins when the Atma-Buddhi-Manasic triad is said to "separate" itself from its lower principles, or the reflection of the ex-personality, by falling into the Devachanic state. Enq. And what happens after this? Theo. Then the Kama-rupic phantom, remaining bereft of its informing thinking principle, the higher Manas, and the lower aspect of the latter, the animal intelligence, no longer receiving light from the higher mind, and no longer having a physical brain to work through, collapses. Enq. In what way? Tiieo. Well, it falls into the state of the frog when certain portions of its brain are taken out by the vivisector. It can think no more, even on the lowest animal plane. Henceforth it is no longer even the lower Manas, since this "lower" is nothing without the "h...

As a Theosophist, I recommend this book to anyone who is studying Theosophy (ancient wisdom of the gods). It is much easier to understand than the Secret Doctrine and a must for anyone who is a serious student of ancient wisdom.

This book really helps any students of Theosophy to understand where H P Blavatsky is coming from. The question and answer format is easier to follow than the Secret Doctrine, for beginners in Theosophy.

A fairly difficult book to read until you get used to it! Lots of ideas to take in - best read with a notebook to hand to make notes. English can be a bit obscure so lots of reading and rereading required. HOwever an enjoyable book and a good introduction to theosophy.
