My comments on the The Higher octaves

With the higher frequency octaves, we move beyond the limitations of the individual incarnation.  These have not been mapped out as clearly as the lower faculties.   Here we are at the stage at which one experiences what the Tibetan Buddhists call the Clear Light, which is of the nature of Shunyata, "emptiness".

I would tentatively assume that just as the "Astral" Body is transitional between the Physical and the Spiritual, so there would also be a transitional subtle body between the Spiritual and the transcendent.  If so, this would correspond to the Qabalistic sefirah Daat, which is located in the "abyss" that seperates mundane existence (the lower seven sefirot or bodies) from the transcendent or supernal (the higher three sefirot or bodies)

And just as there may be a sort of sequence of Etheric, Emotional, and Mental on the Physical and Spiritual levels, so there may also be on the transcendent level.  These would correspond to the active consciousness of the Bodhisattva or Enlightened Being, who, although beyond birth and death, still chooses to return into incarnation for the sake of other sentient beings.  But in ordinary humanity these frequency levels are not developed; hence the Chaldean, Tibetan, Theosophical idea of only seven subtle bodies; from the Physical Etheric to the Spiritual Mental.

Because of the obscurity of these very elevated stages, the following correspondences are very tentative only:

Some correspondences regarding the Cosmic Body

Philosophy/Worldview	Paradigmatic Approach	Term	Comments
Adyar Theosophy		Higher vehicles, permanent atoms?	The Higher vehicles and aspects of consciousness (atma, buddhi, etc) are mentioned very poorly described in Theosophy.
Egyptian esotericism		Akhu, Sahu	The Higher Spiritual bodies, representing the transmuted being and physico-spiritual immortality, are described here. There are equivalences in other traditions, e.g. the Immortal Fetus of Taoism, and partial parallels with Hellenistic Hermetic thought (the Augeoides), Gurdjieff, Sri Aurobindo, Ann Ree Colton, etc.
Semnani (Latifa)		"Mohammad of your being" with "Jesus of your being" as preceding stage?	The subtle Divine Center. Colour brilliant Green. (Green being the colour of Islam). The "Jesus of your being" (Ketheric Body stage?) may also belong here, if we assume several grades or stages.
Vajrayana - Vayus		Very Subtle Wind	Corresponds to the Clear Light, and Shunya), this is the carrier of the immortal Consciousness located in the Heart.
Hermetic Kabbalah Sefirot		Daat and the Supernals (Binah, Hokmah, and Keter)	The Supernal Sefirot are equated with the Divine Consciousness and transcendence of the human condition.
Da Free John		Sixth and Seventh Stages of Life (Devotional)	Constitutes the state of Enlightened or Liberated Consciousness, this would be equivalent to the Tibetan "Clear Light" etc.
Ken Wilber		High Subtle, Low Causal, and High Causal	These transpersonal stages are only tentatively suggested.
