Is an animal’s subtle body the same as a human’s?

The subtle body of an animal and a human are not the same; while humans possess a differentiated consciousness capable of self-reflection, animals navigate life through instinctual unity. Each species carries its own unique pathway of spiritual growth and responsibility.
