As an element, Ether is not the same as the chemical solvent and
anaesthetic. It is via the sacral chakra but, the element of the etheric body
and the etheric plane.
The Mental Body has a fluid texture and often reflects the throat chakra
colours of blue, silver and turquoise. As its name implies, it is partly
connected to intellect and abstract thought, to the world of ideas,
conceptual blueprints and archetypes (see app.). It links us to the unseen
patterns, subtle nuances and barely heard sounds and what is commonly
named “the heavenly spheres.”
Discarnate guides sometimes use the mental plane as their avenue of
communication. The receiving medium then has difficulty in explaining how
the communication happens. The mental bodies of guide and medium
meet, and concepts or symbols which still require description are received.
When the discarnate communicator and medium also engage their heart
and brow chakras, more direct verbal communication with greater precision
as to words and language style is possible.
