In my last post I suggested that each element will go through the decay process and eventually end up as the mysterious noble gas known as element #118. This means the final possible element is a noble gas that we can’t see, feel or have awareness of in the normal sense. As I struggled with this concept I recalled some of the Rosicrucian teachings about spirit and how the manifest universe is made up of spirit particles. A stroke of insight led to the break through concept that our entire universe is an ocean of this mysterious element #118! Outer space is not empty, is not a vacuum, but instead is an ocean of this noble gas element in which all other elements and particles float.
If true, the empty void of outer space is not a void, but completely filled with this element! And not only that, but each atom of this noble gas contains within it all other possible elements in potential! This is an entirely new way of looking at the concept of “zero point” energy! It means that there is unlimited energy available in every part of the universe at the atomic and sub atomic levels. There is no emptiness or void! Every thing is full to capacity and constantly growing more complex. It only seems empty to us because it is a noble gas and because it is so pervasive.
In recognizing the existence of this mysterious element I also realized that the so called etheric double is created out of this noble gas and astral substance. There is too much evidence of ghostly apparitions, magical workings and other psychic phenomenon at the lowest astral levels. I have encountered such individuals on the lower astral planes…
Many books have been written about astral projection where a person has an out of body experience and perhaps stands at the foot of the bed and looks back at his or her physical body. Or they have traveled on astral journeys in which they floated about the existing physical world or something very much like it. I’ve spoken with people who have experienced many such journeys and listened with great interest as they described their experiences. I know it is real and possible…but I’ve never really been able to do it in a convincing manner. I do remember one incident in my teens when I had an out of body experience and found myself floating near the ceiling and looking down at my body, but that was the closest I’ve come.
I routinely mental project, emotionally project and even remote view. I can explore the energetics of anything that I desire and travel the unseen worlds at will. But to project my astral self out into this physical world and look back at my physical body lying there has until now proven to be all but impossible.
The closest I’ve come to really encountering these levels is in my dealings with bringing earthbound souls back to the light. These encounters have pulled me into their worlds and those worlds have been very ghostly and physical or real…
As far as I’m concerned there is only one possible explanation. I have not yet fully activated my etheric double…I’m getting closer and closer with each day, month and year that goes by; but it’s something not yet achieved. It is achievable because others have achieved it! It is this non-physical body that is truly what magic and the occult is really about. I guess that’s why I am reading and studying the material that I have recently been drawn to…

Would you equate the “etheric double” to the “Ka body” / “light body”?
If so, read that Magdalene Manuscript book I recommended for how to activate (acknowledge) your Ka body. That book may even call it the “etheric double”, I can’t remember, it’s been years since I read it.
Just got the book in the mail and am reading it. It does call the etheric double the Ka body. Very interesting reading. As for light body, I’ve always considered the light body as the “Photon” body which is a round sphere that is more like a simple point of awareness which I have traveled in through space and time. Another “light body” is perhaps the “Helium” body which is human shaped, but glowing light and doesn’t have any real facial features. It is more like an energy balloon. I have also done a lot of traveling in this body…So the astral bodies which I have activated and traveled in are quite different and each has it’s peculiar characteristics….but none have been the “etheric Double”.
Well, you follow your own hunches on things, but I have come to know the “etheric body” / Ka body / light body to all be the same thing. And that would essentially be the “vehicle” that our soul does dimensional / density travel in. It is always with us, but in this dense 3D realm we can and do lose our conscious awareness of it. So… that book, if I remember right speaks of “activating or energizing one’s Ka body / etheric body”, but to me, it’s more about re-acknowledging the Ka / etheric body at a conscious human level, since it’s really always there for us (our soul).
And, to me, the best “definition” of light is “information”. No matter how else someone may choose to define light at any level, at any frequency, light is that – information.
