A
Theosophical definition of Arupa :
Arupa (Sanskrit) A compound word meaning "formless," but this word formless is not to be taken so strictly as to mean that there is no form of any kind whatsoever; it merely means that the forms in the spiritual worlds (the arupa-lokas) are of a spiritual type or character, and of course far more ethereal than are the forms of the rupa-lokas. Thus in the arupa-lokas, or the spiritual worlds or spheres or planes, the vehicle or body of an entity is to be conceived of rather as an enclosing sheath of energic substance. We can conceive of an entity whose form or body is entirely of electrical substance - as indeed our own bodies are in the last analysis of modern science. But such an entity with an electrical body, although distinctly belonging to the rupa worlds, and to one of the lowest rupa worlds, would merely, by comparison with our own gross physical bodies, seem to us to be bodiless or formless. (See also Rupa, Loka)

The definition of Arupa
is extracted from "OCCULT GLOSSARY - A COMPENDIUM OF ORIENTAL AND
THEOSOPHICAL TERMS".
Publisher's Note
"Every branch of
study has its own special terminology, and the esoteric philosophies are no
exception. This compendium not only clarifies the significance of the terms
most frequently found in such literature, but offers a comprehensive outline of
the scope and principles underlying an age-old tradition respecting the
constitution of man and the universe in which he lives.
This
Second and Revised Edition is faithful to the original 1933 edition. Changes
include modernizing capitalization, spelling, and punctuation, and amending a
few foreign terms (with appreciation to Dr. Bruce C. Hall and Mr. David Reigle
for their respective contributions)."
