This box lists planes according to Theosophy, but also neo-Theosophy partly due to me. I suggest we remove the top 2 spiritual planes, which according to Theosophy are unknowable for humans. Then the articles on them have to be moved into spiritual plane and the consciousnesses on them have to be listed after it. IIRC, HPB researched historical mysticism/esoterism and defined the causal body to be on both the mental and lowest spiritual planes, and found that the mental and emotional planes are one and the astral and ethereal planes are one and the physical plane is non-ethereal. Some articles already distinguish between Theosophy and neo-Theosophy, the latter of which may need a new system to combine with the former, so perhaps there should also be a list for neo-Theosophy. Does anyone agree?-- Dchmelik ( talk) 11:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
