What is an etheric body?
We all have a ‘life’ or etheric body as one part of our constitution. Plants and animals also have an etheric body but minerals do not. Our etheric body keeps our physical corpse alive and binds the soul or astral body to it. The life processes and forces in our etheric body heal and maintain our physical body, and can also be recognised within language and music. The Word that created us keeps us alive through etheric forces. I like to think of it as the vital body or organ of enlivenment. When we sleep, the physical and etheric bodies are free to regenerate while our soul and spirit dissociate form our physiology. The etheric body progressively detaches from the physical body at death, during the time when the various organs can still be successfully removed for transplant operations. When that spirit that moves through all things has departed, it is no longer possible to make use of body parts.

When that etheric spirit that enlivens the body has departed, all it decays as the world’s ether forces take over.
