causal body

The vehicle of expression of the soul on the causal plane, the third sub-plane of the mental plane. The receptacle where the consciousness of our own point of evolutionary development is kept. From the point of view of the physical plane this body is neither subjective nor objective. However, it is the center of egoic consciousness, and is formed by the conjunction of budhi and manas. It is relatively permanent and lasts during the long cycle of incarnations, dissipating only after the fourth initiation, when the human being no longer needs to be reborn.
