The Vital Depth

The scientists that place doubt in the existence of Ether have no scientific basis for their theories. Indeed, they just play with words, with terms, because instead of the term Ether they use the term “radioactivity” or a “magnetic field,” etc. So, these other terms neither take away from nor give to the reality of Ether. In any case, their doubts, analysis, and change of terms will only serve them to study that which is called Ether. Most of the time, people fight only for the question of terms of words, etc., etc. Yet, in the final analysis, what counts are the facts, and the facts are facts.

Russian astronomers have discovered, with their powerful telescopes, worlds in a protoplasmic state. These protoplasmic worlds have come out from within the Ether. We can accept, by simple logical induction, that Ethereal worlds exist. Maybe some scientists will not be pleased with the term “Ethereal.” However, the term is of the least importance. The importance is the fact.

Every world, before becoming protoplasmic, exists in an Ethereal state. The great Hindustani scientist Rama Prasad stated: “Everything comes out of the Ether. Everything returns into the Ether.”

If protoplasm emerges from within the Ether, then we have to accept that the Ether is in the vital depth of everything that exists.

The oriental mystics consider that the Ethereal Body (vital depth) of the human body has four classes of Ether. This does not appeal to the occidental scientists. Nevertheless, when the occidental scientists study the Ether, no matter what name they will give to it, they then will have to accept by simple analysis and by their own experience, the reality of the four Ethers of the oriental mystics.

Thus, the Ethereal Body of a human being has four Ethers: Chemical Ether, Ether of Life, Luminous Ether, and Reflecting Ether. Each one of these Ethers has its function in intimate relation with the whole organic economy.

The Chemical Ether is related with all the processes of organic assimilation and nourishment.

The Ether of Life is related with the reproduction processes of the race.

The Luminous Ether is related with the processes of sensorial perception.

The Reflecting Ether is intimately related with the faculties of memory, imagination, willpower, etc., etc.

The Vital Body controls the whole motor vessel nervous system and is the seat of life. Each Ethereal atom penetrates inside each physical atom and makes it vibrate. If we definitely extract the Vital Body from the physical body of a person, this person dies inevitably. It is totally absurd to suppose, even for a moment, that chemical-physical organisms can survive without the Vital Body. The very atheist, materialist Russians, after having studied the matter profoundly, have become more prudent in giving consent about the Vital Depth of the living matter.

The scientists who are exploring the human organism are getting closer to the Ethereal Body. They will detect it inevitably and soon they will be able to condense it with some kind of ectoplasm to study it in a laboratory.

All the functions of our organism, all the caloric activities, the reproduction, combustion, metabolism, etc., have their base in the vital depth.

When the Vital Body weakens, then the diseases of the physical body appear.
