The term etheric has also been used by H. This mixture of languages have been unfortunate. The etheric double is formed of a certain kind The Etheric Double matter which, while still physical in nature, is more subtle than that which is normally perceived by our five senses. It is an exact counterpart double of the physical body to which it belongs. The double is separable from the physical, but is unable to move very far away from it. The Etheric Double separation of the etheric from the physical usually results in a considerable decrease in energy. The etheric double has been described as a pale violet-grey or blue-grey, somewhat luminous, aura. In form the etheric double follows fairly The Etheric Double the physical body, extending a very short distance, about a quarter of an inch 6mm beyond it. It also acts as a connecting or interfacing medium between the astral and physical bodies. Thus external sensory input to the system is sensed by the astral and perhaps higher levels and communicated via the etheric The Etheric Double the physical brain. These etheric chakras have a dual function. One is to absorb and distribute prana to the etheric double from where it passes to the physical body thus keeping it alive; and second, to bring down into physical consciousness what may be occurring in the corresponding astral cakras. It has been said that many people are fully conscious on the astral plane when asleep on the physical and the ability to recall, when awake, events on the astral depends on the level of development of the etheric chakras. This mold is formed, it is said, by an elemental, and some clairvoyants, seeing this miniature form, have mistaken it for the incoming soul of the baby. The elemental soon leaves and The Etheric Double future growth of the etheric double is controlled by the individual Ego. In gathering etheric matter for the initial form, The Etheric Double is the The Etheric Double of the incarnating entity that is the deciding factor. As the form grows, etheric matter is taken from the mother and this highlights the importance of a The Etheric Double lifestyle on the part of the mother. At the time of death, the etheric double withdraws from The Etheric Double physical and is seen as a violet misty figure connected The Etheric Double the expiring physical by a glowing cord. The cord breaks and the physical begins to decompose. When the etheric double has left the body it usually floats over it as a virtually The Etheric Double and speechless figure; it is from this stage that many of the tales of ghosts originate. It has been noted that the etheric double is a vehicle of prana and a process of helping to heal a sick person is the transfer of prana from a robustly healthy person to the ailing one. Shells and shields. The most effective protection of an individual against all external inimical influences is a pure heart and a totally benevolent disposition. However, not everyone is in such a desirable state and in such a case other means of protection have been suggested by some. An effort of imaging is needed. Imagine the etheric as a violet misty shield surrounding the physical body; imagine it becoming denser and denser and brighter and brighter. Properly done this is said to be an effective barrier to undesirable external influences, but it must be kept in mind that the barrier is a block both ways — in and out. When the need has passed it is important, by an The Etheric Double of imagination and will, to restore the etheric double to its former state. According to clairvoyants who have observed the process, spiritualist mediums have the unusual ability to dislodge their etheric double from the physical body. In such a condition, the medium is able to cause certain physical phenomena to occur The Etheric Double as table rapping and the movement of objects. The effort to produce this result is very exhausting indeed. Effect of noise and other influences. Excessive noise at a very high volume The Etheric Double is said to be damaging to the etheric double. Because the etheric is very close in nature to the physical, it can respond to vibration and if this is severe then undesirable consequences can take place. It is fortunate that the etheric has excellent recuperative qualities and usually recovers when the disturbing influence ceases. A general anaesthetic causes some disturbance to the alignment of the etheric double and the The Etheric Double body and this takes some time to recover due to the persistence of the chemicals in the body. The Etheric Double excessive consumption of narcotics and alcohol is also disruptive and some writers have suggested that this might be the cause of the mental disorder called delirium tremens. It has to be emphasized that the etheric double does not embody consciousness as we know it, nor can it act, independently, as a vehicle of consciousness. Circumstances under which the etheric double may be separated from the physical body include severe trauma, anaesthetics and possibly deep hypnotic trance, but there always remains a connecting link and this link is only severed at the time of death. Individuals who have had a limb amputated sometimes complain that they still feel pain or discomfort in the missing part. This is due to the fact that the removal of the physical part does not remove the corresponding etheric element which can remain in place for a considerable time. The prana that normally passes from the astral to the physical passes easily through the web, but the web is a complete barrier to all other forces and thus the web acts as a shield The Etheric Double the normal world The Etheric Double the individual and the astral plane op. Theosophical The Etheric Double. Etheric Double. The Etheric Double - A. E. Powell | Theosophy World The English term "etheric" in this context seems to derive from the Theosophical writings of Madame Blavatskybut its use was formalised by C. Leadbeater [2] and Annie Besant [3] due to the elimination of Hindu terminology from the system of seven planes and bodies. Adyar School of Theosophy. The The Etheric Double gained some general popularity after the war, Walter John Kilner having adopted it for a The Etheric Double of the "human atmosphere" which, as he claimed in a popular book, could be rendered visible to the naked eye by means of certain exercises. The classical element Aether of Platonic and Aristotlean physics continued in Victorian scientific proposals of a Luminiferous ether as well as the cognate chemical substance ether. According to Theosophists and Alice Bailey the etheric body inhabits an etheric plane which corresponds to the four higher subplanes of the physical plane. The Etheric Double intended reference is therefore to some extremely rarefied matter, analogous in usage to the word "spirit" originally "breath". In selecting it as the term The Etheric Double a clearly defined concept in an Indian-derived metaphysical system, the Theosophists aligned it with ideas such as the prana-maya-kosha sheath made of pranasubtle breath or life-force of Vedantic thought. In popular use it is often confounded with the related concept of The Etheric Double astral body as for example in the term astral projection - the early Theosophists had called it the "astral double". Others prefer to speak of the "lower and higher astral". Spiritual plane :. Astral - Ethereal plane :. Linga sarira is a Sanskrit term for the invisible double of the human body, the etheric body or etheric double or astral body in some Theosophical concepts. It is one of the seven principles of the human The Etheric Double, according to Theosophical philosophy.
