Antahkarana is a pastel created by Burton Callicott, a member of the Memphis Lodge of the Theosophical Society in America. It hangs outside the Meditation Room in the L. W. Rogers Building, the headquarters of the TSA in Wheaton, Illinois. The display caption states, "Shows two triangles, the higher and the lower aspects of our nature. A shaft of light rays down, connecting the two. This ray is the antahkarana, the bridge between the divine Self and the personal soul."
