The Newly Formed Causal Body: Leadbeater’s Plate V
A small upright human figure appears within a tall, pale oval touched with yellow, pink and grey. In the adjacent text, C. W. Leadbeater identifies Plate V as the newly formed causal body in his theosophical model, comparing its appearance with an almost empty soap bubble. The soft colour and spacious enclosure give that proposed invisible body a delicate pictorial form.
