20 Chapter 20: The Devas and the Human Etheric Body 

The Devas and the Human Etheric Body examines the etheric vehicle as the bridge between cosmic energy and physical form.

Keynotes

  • The Etheric Body (Double): A magnetic field that compenetrates the physical body, acting as a conduit for solar, lunar, and planetary energies to provide life, heat, and movement.

  • Three Hierarchies of Etheric Devas:

    • Lords of the Golden Light: Higher evolution beings who accumulate and protect Solar Prana (shining golden color).

    • Violet Devas: They canalize solar energy to create the "Aura of Health" and define the human magnetic field (various shades of violet).

    • Lords of Magnetic Radiation: Also called "Impellers of Movement," they unify solar and planetary energies to structure the etheric vehicle and the nervous system/Nadis (gray-blue color).

  • Lunar Devas: Lower-order builders who construct the dense forms of the physical, astral, and mental planes using material substance inherited from the Moon.

  • The "Dead" Moon: The Moon lacks internal fire (Kundalini) and rotation; its disintegration emits negative radiations that fuel viruses, bacteria, and negative psychic entities (egregors).

  • Cremation as Alchemical Transmutation: The author advocates for cremation over burial to quickly release the "Anus" (atoms) back to the ether and prevent the formation of psychic parasites (larvae) around decomposing remains.

  • Psychic Ecology: The Hierarchical plan to purify "heavy" environments such as hospitals, cemeteries, prisons, and slaughterhouses, as well as the warning against keeping mummies/embalmed bodies in museums.

Comprehensive Summary

The Nature of the Etheric Vehicle
The chapter introduces the etheric body as a magnetic field essential for all organic life. It serves as the bridge for three specific energies: Solar (spirit/life), Lunar (material existence), and Planetary (the human personality). The author establishes an analogy where the Solar Logos provides Life (Fohat), the Planetary Logos provides Heat, and the Human Being provides Movement (Kundalini).

The Three Angelic Hierarchies of Health
The construction and maintenance of this etheric body are managed by specialized Devas:

  1. Accumulators: The "Lords of the Golden Light" store solar vitality.

  2. Channelers: The "Violet Devas" project this energy onto the human aura, creating a protective "Aura of Health."

  3. Unifiers: The "Gray-Blue Devas" distribute energy through the Nadis (the etheric counterpart of the nervous system), regulating hormonal and blood circulation through "Movement."

Lunar Influence and the "Dead" Satellite
A significant portion of the chapter is dedicated to Lunar Devas and the Moon. The Moon is described as a dead body in a state of putrefaction. Because it lacks internal fire, its disintegration produces "negative radiations" that cause:

  • Increased virulence in germs and bacteria.

  • Psychic tension and fear of death.

  • The stimulation of monstrous, lower-evolution animal forms in the deep oceans.

Psychic Hygiene and Cremation
The author argues that burial is ecologically and spiritually harmful because it allows lower entities to feed on dense etheric substance during slow decomposition. Cremation is presented as the only "sacred" and scientific method to release the soul and its atoms quickly via the transmuting power of fire. Furthermore, the practice of mummification is condemned as it creates harmful magnetic interference for the departed soul.

The Plan for Planetary Saneamiento (Purification)
The chapter concludes by revealing a plan by the Planetary Hierarchy to purify the Earth's atmosphere. Groups of highly trained disciples work alongside "Luminous Devas" to dissolve negative psychic forms in places of intense human suffering, such as hospitals, asylums, and slaughterhouses. The author calls upon people of goodwill to support this "psychic saneamiento" by adopting better ecological and spiritual habits.
