This is a term used by Helena P. Blavatsky to refer to kāma, or the desire-nature in the septenary constitution of the human being.
Blavatsky classifies the soul into three kinds:
a. animal soul – the desire-nature or kāma.
b. human soul – the mental principle or manas.
c. spiritual soul – the buddhi
At times, she also refers to the animal soul as “astral soul,” as distinguished from the “astral body” which she uses for the etheric double or linga-śārira.
