Paul and Alan, I agree.  Actually, HPB says that none of the planes
can be skipped, so that everything on the physical plane has to have
its astral, mental, and causal counterparts even thought they may
not be actively manifesting.  I raise Norweign Forest Cats, and
can say with some authority that they each have a "soul" however
you want to define it.
