ward marion, but from the view of ascent as well. Our experiences in
daily life are then manifested in dream states that are passed on to the
Etheric Body, where they are sometimes amalgamated, refined, and
passed on to the next Astral Body.
The psychological terminology that is analogous with the Etheric
Body is the libido. From here the energy must be separated into a form of
polarity, so both progression and regression can occur through a state of
regular interaction. The Jungian concept of the libido, which we refer to
here, goes beyond the original Freudian concept, which associated it with
sexuality. [ung considers that it refers to "psychic energy" in general and
warned against trying to define it too rapidly.
The energy flow from the Etheric Body into the physical body relies
primarily on two aspects (1) a daily flow rate which is divided into the
five major Tattvic divisions,98 and (2) the energy effected by the astrological
influences (the other effects of disease and karmic influences are
not included here). The first such influence is the Akasha Tattva which
is the encompassing tubular linkage (space) for the energy to flow
through. Its main principle is to "connect." The next division is the Vayu
Tattva, which provides the pulse for the energy to flow, much in the same
vein as the heartbeat of the body. The Tejas Tattva produces a stronger
flow rate while the Apas Tartva provides the control mechanism that
reduces the flow of energy. The Prithvi Tattva is the one that resists the
flow rate of energy when the various centers of the body are full of energy,
and this helps to produce overstimulation.
During the process of initiation either directly or indirectly into a
group, or by an individual into a different field of awareness, the Etheric
Body is the one that is first stimulated. In forms of ritual magic we have
the temple officers slowly stimulating your Etheric Body by carefully
altering its vibrational rate so that it becomes more receptive to the
external stimuli of the Higher Self.
This stimulation can, in some cases, produce what is called in alternative
medicine a "healing crisis," in which the transition state that the
Etheric Body goes through does not immediately settle on one vibrational
pitch but alters until it finds its own correct accord within a new range or
98 The Tattwas are located in the Chakra centers and control the flow rates of energy going to and
from it. See Narum FinerForces by Rama Prasad for a full indcprh study of them. The Knowledge
lectures on the Tartwas in the Golden Dawn were based on Prasad's book.
