THE HEALTH-AUKA.
Hitherto we have been dealing exclusively
with those bodies of man which are connected
with the higher planes, but our subject would
not be completely treated if we omitted all
reference to the minutely subdivided physical
matter which is seen by clairvoyant sight to be
part of the aura of man. Much of that matter
is in the etheric state, and constitutes what is
often called the etheric double. This is not in
any sense a separate vehicle, but must be con-
sidered simply as part of the physical body. It
is clearly visible to the clairvoyant as a mass of
faintly luminous violet-grey mist, interpenetrat-
ing the denser part of the physical body, and
extending very slightly beyond it, as will be seen
in Plates XXIV. and XXY. This etheric matter
is the link between the astral and the physical,
but it has also a very important function as the
vehicle of the vital force on the physical plane.
This vital force is poured upon us from the
