etheric

[Guest guest]

I have often wondered whether the etheric body of western/hinduistic thinking might be the Po - a vitalistic animal soul that returns to the earth upon death.

 

As far as Qi is concerned, what form are you referring to? Korean practitioner friends speak of seeing the Wei Qi extending from the body in the same form as an etheric body of hindu mysticism.

Yesterday, I asked people on the the list to take a stand on whether the qi of CM was some etheric energy separate from the body's biochemistry and physiology, and neither you nor anyone else so far has actually given their opinion. So, would you be willing to give a succinct answer to this question? I think it is an important one.

I believe the word qi has evolved to represent a broad spectrum of reality

and processes that extend from physical processes, i.e.

physiology/biochemistry, to the less physical/etheric/energetic realms of

natural phenomenon. That, I believe, is why the capable minds on this list

have not been able to agree on a way to translate qi into a succinct English

term.
