What is the Life-force?

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. 

It is a state or condition that pervades the Universe, changing in degree, or character, as you get farther from the earth-plane.

Interpenetrating everything on earth― 

All the spheres― 

All the universe―

All space is a tremendous power, which is God, or what―to simplify it― we call God-force. 

By this God-force, all things live. 

Its withdrawing means death.
