The Developed Astral Body: Leadbeater’s Plate XXIII
A faint upright person stands within an oval of blue, red, green and pale gold. Yellow is concentrated above the head, while red occupies much of the central field. Leadbeater identifies Plate XXIII as the astral body of the developed person in his theosophical model. The soft transitions and relatively even boundary contrast with the more agitated emotional diagrams elsewhere in the volume.
