The Etheric Body, as yet unseen by most people, is described by many 'sensitives' as a rather nebulous body of blue light extending from the physical body; but it is much more than that. Each cell in the physical structure of our bodies has its own Etheric counterpart. Collectively, these make up the substance of every Etheric organ in the body, the skeletal structure, the circulatory system and so on. In fact, beyond the human body, there is also the collective Etheric counterpart of our planet, our sun, our solar system and so on. Here, the Etheric Body, like its physical counterpart, is in a stage of evolutionary status on our planet. Its appearance is as individual as the person it belongs to, varying in degrees in its stages of development. In its perfected state, the Etheric Body is a glorious physical body of crystalline structure and rainbow light. As the master D.K. puts it in the works of Alice. A Bailey, it is the physical body in which the masters dwell, upon similar planes of equal perfection [such as Shamballa] where trees grow, birds fly, and flowers bloom in all perfection. A person with a well-developed gift of Etheric Vision will see the Etheric Body in its precise detail to the physical counterpart… and working in it [ surgically[ will produce Etheric bloodstains on physically gloved hands.

…. The centre of attention of medical and scientific students will be focused on the Etheric Body, and the dependence of the Physical Body upon the Etheric Body will be recognized. This will change the attitude of the medical profession, and magnetic healing and vibratory stimulation will supersede the present methods of surgery and drug assimilation. Man's vision being then normally Etheric, will have him recognize that which is now called the "unseen world'. …. The Dense Physical body, composed of atoms - each with its own individual life, light and activity - is held together by, and is expressive of the energies which compose the Etheric Body… …. As the intuition in man develops and grows, so will his control of the air be developed and grow. Another thing we can look for [and it is already being recognized somewhat] is the development of the ability to see in subtler matter. Every where there are children being born who see more than you or I can. I am here referring to something that is based purely on material grounds, and concerns the physical eye. I refer to Etheric Vision, which is seeing in the finer matter of the physical plane, or in that which is called the ethers. …. Much interesting work has been done along this line by students and scientists in California. A Dr. Frederick Finch Strong has been working along this line in a valuable way, and teaching that the Physical Eye is capable of seeing Etherically, and that Etheric Vision is the normal function of the eye. …. What will the development of this faculty mean ? It will mean that science will have definitely to readjust its point of view as to the subtler planes. If there comes within a range of vision of the normal man or woman within the next hundred years, certain aspects and forms of life that have been regarded hitherto as imaginary, we will have broken once and for all, that rank materialism which has distinguished us for so long; and if 'that' which is now visible is recognized along any particular line, who shall say how far forward it will be possible for us to go as time progresses ? …. The Etheric Body - [a] Being of physical plane matter, literally, Etheric Consciousness is the next step ahead for the race. This will demonstrate at first as the ability to see Etherically and to cognise Etheric Matter. [b] It is the field of exploration immediately ahead of the modern scientist. In ten years time many Medical Practitioners will be recognizing it as a fact of nature. [c] Most of the diseases that the physical body suffers from at present have their roots in the Etheric Body. There are few, if any, purely physical diseases. …. Very few troubles of the dense physical body arise within that body itself. A few arise directly in the Etheric Body, but at this stage of evolution, most of our troubles arise in the Emotional Body, and the remainder in the Mental Body. We might generalize and say that…. 25% of the ills flesh is heir to, arise in the Etheric Body. 25% in the Mental Body & 50% in the Emotional Body. …. The Etheric Body is fundamentally the most important response apparatus that man possesses. …. The perfect healing combination is that of medical man and the spiritual healer, each working in his own field, and both having faith in each other; this is not now the case. There is no need to call in Divine aide to set bones, which the surgeon is well equipped to do, or to clear up infection which the physician knows well how to handle. The healer can help and can hasten the healing process, but the orthodox physician can also hasten the work of the healer. Both groups need one another. I realize that what I have said here will please neither the spiritual healer nor the orthodox medical man. It is time, however, that they learn to appreciate each other and work in co-operation. …. It is essential that in days to come medical men should realize that disease in the Physical Body is incidental to wrong internal conditions. This is already being somewhat considered… …. In spite of mistakes, faulty diagnose and much error, humanity cannot do without its doctors, its surgeons, and its hospitals. They are urgently needed, and will be for centuries to come Modern Medicine must become far more open minded, more ready to endorse [ after due professional proof ] that which is new, which is the nature of innovation and which is unusual. The barriers erected by specialized medicine must come down, and the new schools must be sought, instructed and investigated, and finally be included in the orthodox ranks… …. Though Shamballa is spoken of as existing in Physical Matter and as occupying a definite location in space, the Physical Matter referred to is Etheric, the Lord of the World and His Assistants of the higher degrees occupying bodies formed of Etheric Matter… …. As the intuition in man develops and grows, so will his control of the air be developed and grow. Another thing we can look for [and it is already being recognized somewhat] is the development of the ability to see in subtler matter.
