Alice A. Bailey & 6 Points on the etheric

 Alice Bailey is often viewed as a prolific writer, mystic the founder of an international esoteric movement.  She wrote extensively about what she termed, 'the etheric body' as the mould of the physical body. Another way to put it is that on which the dense physical form is built.  Imagine what lies beneath what you may see. Consider these six key points:

1) Everything in the universe is energy.  This etheric level can be subtle and invisible, yet controls, governs and conditions all things in the manifested physical world.

2) This etheric body creates, changes and qualifies what you perceive. This etheric is subject to ceaseless change. This being true of the Macrocosm, human beings, the microcosm.  It can mysteriously prove true of all the subhuman kingdoms in nature. Of this, the animal kingdom and the vegetable kingdom are already widely perceived.

3) The etheric body is composed of interlocking and circulating lines of force.  They emanate from one or other, or from one or many, of the seven planes or areas of consciousness of our planetary life.  Some human beings evolve to view this as a grid.

4) This energy system has seven focal points within the etheric body. These centres are related to certain types of incoming energy. When the energy reaching the etheric body is not related to a particular centre, then that centre remains unawakened. When it is related and the centre is sensitive to impact, then that centre becomes vibrant, receptive and develops as a controlling factor in the life of the man on the physical plane.

5) The physical body is perceived based on how you discern your energies.  Your dense physical body, composed of atoms  (each with its own life, light and activity) is held together by and expresses energies which compose the etheric.

6) The etheric body has many centres of force, responsive to the inflowing energies of our planetary Life, but we shall consider only the seven major centres which respond to the inflowing energies of the seven rays. All lesser centres are conditioned by the seven major centres. Knowledge of the ego and of the personality rays is useful.

Hello Liara,
This was a great post as are all your posts. I have been so far behind in blogging. I suspect it is due to the many changes taking place as we are about to embrace the exciting times ahead. It has been quite a rollercoater ride. Most of the time have been going with the flow but every now and then I get a bit blind-sided by events. Now I find it easier to maintain control. This is new for me. Once upon a time it took quite awhile for me to get focused in brushing myslef and moving forward. I am feeling "connected" to what is taking place. Waking up and becoming aware.

I truly enjoy your post and gain so much information that my soul needs.

Thank you for sharing.

~Namaste

Titania, in yearning to understand your spiritual side and the spirit world, refrain from discrediting the physical in some way. Your physical body is respectable and worthy of being understood as well. Great to hear about your increasing awareness. At your pace, you are bridging the gap and rediscovering what matters. The sacred is a choice.

Hi Liara,

Nice summary; good work.
Understanding of the etheric body is becoming more exoteric as predicted.
For instance see the links here:http://www.dawsonchurch.com/links.html

James, the etheric body has been described as part of a sacred realm. As you point out, different opinions exist on this subject. Human perception can evolve to embrace dimensions of the unseen world. What a person is willing to accept on this varies widely.
