The etheric plane (see also etheric body) is a term introduced into Theosophy by Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant to represent the subtle part of the lower plane of existence. It represents the fourth [higher] subplane of the physical plane (a hyperplane), the lower three being the states of solid, liquid, and gaseous matter. The idea was later used by authors such as Alice Bailey, Rudolf Steiner, Walter John Kilner and others.

  • The etheric plane (see also etheric body) is a term introduced into Theosophy by Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant to represent the subtle part of the lower plane of existence. It represents the fourth [higher] subplane of the physical plane (a hyperplane), the lower three being the states of solid, liquid, and gaseous matter. The idea was later used by authors such as Alice Bailey, Rudolf Steiner, Walter John Kilner and others. The term aether (also written as "ether") was adopted from ancient Greek philosophy and science into Victorian physics (see Luminiferous aether) and utilised by Madame Blavatsky to correspond to akasha, the fifth element (quintessence) of Hindu metaphysics. The Greek word aither derives from an Indo-European root aith- ("burn, shine"). Blavatsky also related the idea to the Hindu Prana principle, the vital, life-sustaining force of living beings, present in all natural processes of the universe. Prana was first expounded in the Upanishads, where it is part of the worldly, physical realm, sustaining the body and the mind. Blavatsky also tended to use the word "astral" indiscriminately for these supposed subtle physical phenomena. The esoteric concepts of Adi, the Buddhic plane, the causal plane, and the monadic plane are also related to that of the etheric plane. Leadbeater and Besant (both belonging to the Adyar School of Theosophy) conceived that the etheric plane constituted four higher subplanes of the physical plane. According to the Theosophist Geoffrey A. Farthing, Leadbeater used the term, because of its resonance in the physical sciences, to describe his clairvoyant investigations of subatomic physics. (en)
  • Dans la conception de l'ésotérisme, le plan éthérique serait l'un des 7 plans subtils ou suprasensibles introduits par la théosophie (la théosophie de Helena Blavatsky) selon laquelle le premier de cette hiérarchie serait le plan physique, le deuxième le plan éthérique, le troisième le plan astral, etc. La théosophie, en synthétisant plusieurs théories religieuses sur l'invisible, dont certaines du bouddhisme tibétain, aurait identifié ces 7 plans. Il est probable que le choix du chiffre 7 soit dû à leur amour du nombre 7. (Sept chakras, sept plans, sept vertus, sept sortes d'anges). Toutefois, chaque plan est plus ou moins bien décrit par plusieurs auteurs comme Robert Bruce, Alice Bailey, ainsi que Charles Webster Leadbeater. Pour l'anthroposophe Rudolf Steiner, le plan éthérique constituerait la partie supérieure du plan physique, les trois parties inférieures étant constituées des substances matérielles, tandis que les quatre parties supérieures seraient constituées par les quatre états de l'éthérique.
