the etheric substance, and the life (Prana) which the human ether
absorbs and specialises for the vitalising of the body. See _Man and
his Bodies_, by A. Besant.]

function is sensation, and by their association with the human mental

human soul from such infamy. Hermes Trismegistus, Book I, _Lacle_:
