Ether is one of the manifestations of the Life-force, it spreads through it like moisture in the air. Ether is not a power like electricity, ether is not a force in that way at all.

When auto-suggestion is powerless to conquer melancholy, draw up an astrological figure at a low altitude with that table of oblique ascensions that I saw you using yesterday, and work out the converse primaries and the longitude of Vulcan.
