Etheric body (vital body)

[mkirkpatrick]

The etheric body,which is an exact replica of its denser counterpart,you have the organ of active radiatory fire,the vechicle of prana.Its function is
to store up the rays of radiatory light and heat which are secured from the
sun,and to transmit them,via the spleen,to all parts of the physical body.
When the physical furnace burns brightly and when the fuel of the body-
(pranic rays) is adequately assimilated, the human frme will function as desired.
The etheric body is the mould of the physical body,the etheric body is the
archetype upon which the dense physical form is built.The etheric body is
the "next"aspect of the world substance to be studied by scientists and
investigators.

more later.

kind regards michael.

what is an etheric body?

[mkirkpatrick]

Mohan,thanks for your interest.What is an etheric body?
The etheric body is the exact replica of its denser counterpart,(the physical
body)the etheric body is a web or network of fine interlacing channels,formed
of matter of the four ethers,and built into a specific form.These pranic eman-
-ations when focalised and received,react upon the dense matter which is
built upon the etheric scaffolding and framework.This etheric web,during
incarntion,forms a barrier between the physical and astral planes,which can
only be transcended when consciousness is sufficiently developed to permit
escape.When a man has,through meditation and concentration,expanded
his consciousness to a certain point,he is enabled to include the subtler planes,and toescape beyond the limits of the dividing web.A point to remember here is that we are dealing with("physical matter")but it is of a much finer substance than we normally encounter.Hope this helps Mohan.

kind regards michael.

I think I got what you mean. This etheric body is the source of the energy, the intrinsic energy, the potential of a physical body. But this energy is assimilated or can be assimilated by meditation. But this assimilated energy, where does it come from? in what forms is it absorbed? is it in the form of waves.

This is interesting Michael. I caught the tail end of a show on light that talked about Dr. Fritz Popps (Germany) who was using light as a diagnostic tool (He started with illustrating the differences between the light imaging of free range vs. regular eggs) and I think light to treat various illnesses. If indeed we had an etheric body, I would think that it was composed of light. I wonder if, as we believe that matter is just energy slowed down to a different frequency , the etheric body IS our body, just at a higher (perhaps its true) frequency? I mean, is it necessarily separate? And couldn't it just be a way to connect with the energy all around?

Mohan,

Ether is actually medium itself, so I guess it is it's own medium. I mean, by this, that the ethereal bodies which are pure energy, move through ethereal space. I believe this must happen through difference in potential: a part with lots of energy can push through a part with little energy, in the ether. I believe the energy is not in ether but ether itself. What do you think?

It brings us to the same discussion we had. Whether quanta is energy or quanta are made of energy? But you are running away from wisdom, why? Ether cannot be energy because It seems wierd to me that energy could be a medium. But for me energy propogates through a medium.

There is a confusion. Ether is not really exaclty energy. Ether is what we call space-time. Ether is, where matter, energy and forces are. An ethereal body is the places of energy of a material body in the ether (space-time). Tell me if I'm still confusing.

[Mohan.C]

No. you are not confusing anymore. But is the presense of ether proved. If it is it could be a stepping stone of the MEFD. What do you think?

Some things of the ether (and more of the aether, which is the modern theory of it) I find very atractive and in harmony with MEFD. But there are also many points which show failures. Maybe a sort of modifyed conception of the aether would be usefull. But it is not proven. Michelson and Morely developed an experiment to prove the ether, but they failed. A similar idea (but different) is that of the void, Mkirkpatirk has good ideas about the void. Also dleviwing's conception of the void is interesting. Still, I wonder what could explain best the way MEFD works and interacts.
