Glossary entry
The etheric counterpart or mould of the material body.
This entry is grounded in ordinary/public Greek lessons and is presented as source-checked provisional wording for review. It is not yet final approved teaching text.
In these teachings, the Etheric Double of the material body is its etheric counterpart or mould. A public lesson connects this etheric counterpart with the Material Permanent Atom and describes it as the mould upon which the material body is built, maintained and grows. Other public and published Greek sources connect the Etheric Double with etheric processes through which impressions and the activity of life are expressed in relation to the material body.
The original lessons use a form meaning “etheric counterpart”, while later published and edited Greek also supports forms meaning “Etheric Double”. The website uses Etheric Double as the English technical term and retains “etheric counterpart or mould” as the first-use explanation.
Permanent Atom — the Material Permanent Atom is connected with, but distinct from, the Etheric Double.
The Human Being — the introductory framework.
