20 Equivalent Names for the Inner Child

If you have heard terms such as “inner child” and “etheric body”, you may have been curious about the indefinite, amorphous and mutable quality that is connoted.

This seemingly technical point is worth discussing because “our immune system” is one such synonym.

If you are interested in connecting and communicating with your immune system, read on. The following straightens out some muddled terminology and reveals WHY indefinite, amorphous, and mutable connotations are warranted for this topic.

While the term “inner child” has some acceptance in humanistic psychology circles, even as of 2013, there is no widespread general acceptance of the reality and practical use of the etheric body. I hope Innerwise.eu will help change this.

The “inner child” concept finds greater practical use among energy workers, dowsers, muscle testers, and therapists working with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The superficial penetration of the “inner child” into a larger culture is unfortunate because acknowledging our helping lower self, an invisible being with whom you CAN connect and communicate, is one of the greatest bridges to self-healing.

For those interested, it helps to start at the end, the conclusion, and work backwards to show its inevitability.

The bottom line is that our inner child is primarily an etheric being.

Q: Why? What does this mean?

A: In modern terms, our etheric body is the preexisting natural “operating system” of internal connections, across all internal boundaries, of the soul in the human experience on Earth.

In original Theosophical terms, our etheric body is the “shell” of our chakra system, our lower frequency bodies (mental, emotional, imaginal, physical).

Beyond all of our other invisible subbodies, our etheric body is the megabody of our visible and invisible bodies.

Its continuum of frequencies, from lowest to highest and back down again, is many octaves wider than our mental or emotional body.

Why? So it can contain within one “wrapper” all the very distinct and different frequencies of the various bodies necessary to function in the Earth experience: memory/habit body, mental body, emotional body, imaginal body, meridian body, and emotional body. physical.

Without a net and without a weaver, without common communication between all our bodies, without communication between them and our immortal-eternal soul, each of us would be even more disorganized than we are now!

The enormity of frequencies in our etheric body can be simplified into a high frequency character and a low frequency character.

Within the lower frequencies of our etheric body are all the acupuncture meridians and what Steiner points to in the phrase “etheric formative forces”, the “pre-physical body”. The Conception Vessel, the Governing Vessel and the rest of the “strange flows” are the lowest in etheric frequency, in the unconscious. The 12 organ meridians are slightly higher, in the subconscious. That is why we can feel some changes and activity in the organ meridians, but rarely in Conception and Government.

Within the higher frequencies of our etheric body are archetypal ideals, images, superhero images, archetypal Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine polarities, and our habits of connecting or disconnecting from them. The mystical Horn of Plenty is in the upper etheric of each person. How easy or challenging it is for him to connect with Infinite Supply, through his own agency, suggests whether he liked or enjoyed the book or movie, The Secret; or, if you’re part of the backlash against The Secret.

Finally, the range of frequencies in the sum total of our etheric body is the home of our habit body or habit hologram. In it are stored all the habits, functional and dysfunctional, at every level of our psyche, physical, imaginal, emotional, mental and unconscious (you can Google “PACME” to learn more about this scheme).

Our immune system is our ‘pre-physical body’, in charge of keeping all bodies on our Earth experience consistent, integrated and coordinated, as possible, allowed and permitted.

In computer jargon, our etheric body is the “shell program” that allows access to all capabilities and applications, from any other point in the system.

More poetically, our etheric body is “the web that has no weaver.” This phrase is the title of a famous Chinese medicine book. In fact, the author may have coined the phrase. His phrase can be perceived as more relevant to the function and character of the etheric body itself than to the interrelated web of themes in Chinese medicine.

In common jargon, our etheric body intertwines all the parts of our psyche, in one person, who can walk and chew gum at the same time, walk the dog and talk on the cell phone simultaneously.

In fact, the ability to encompass, coordinate, and make sense of unrelated but contiguous organs, functions, and activities IS the nature of the etheric body.

Alert readers will understand how this connects the etheric body with the characteristic concerns of motherhood, with the Divine Mother and with the Womb of Creation.

20 names for the inner child

Because our etheric body is the primary integrating function of the human experience; and, because it is invisible, it has been “discovered” over and over again, given many names by many “blind men”.

The historical denomination of the etheric body is exactly analogous to the poem “The blind men and the elephant”. See the full poem and its origins here: http://www.noogenesis.com/pineapple/blind_men_elephant.html

Briefly, each blind man, feeling only a part of the elephant between his two hands, overgeneralizes his understanding of a small part of the elephant, the leg, the tail, the trunk, as the true character of the whole body. elephant.

The sighted person who looks more “spherically” at a healthy elephant perceives multiple functions and aspects.

Hence: 20 names for the inner child.

Q: How smart is my etheric body?

A: If our immune system is intelligent enough to maintain food digestion, walking reflexes, mouth talking, and brain thinking all at the same time, it must have some degree of intelligence. All this can’t be chemistry, it can’t even be all neurochemistry; it can’t be all genes. “Intelligence” is the only reasonable explanation for us being able to multitask and perform other high function behaviors.

You may be surprised to learn that our auxiliary lower self, our immune system, can perform all of its tasks with the intelligence of a three-year-old.

Q: Do you mean that I am not the only intelligence within my own body?

A: Correct. The original Plan was for the conscious waking self to be in the middle, between a higher auxiliary self and a lower auxiliary self.

Q: Of what use is the intelligence of a three-year-old to me?

A: Like any healthy three-year-old, our inner child can answer direct questions and answer whether what is offered is “TRUE for me now (beneficial)” or, “NOT TRUE for me now (neutral to harmful)” .

Plants do not have this additional level of discretion-preference-intelligence, our etheric body, immune system, does.

If we did NOT have this level of intelligence in our small intestine, we would absorb whatever was in our GI tract indiscriminately, like a plant. Find a full discussion of this in other articles on HealingToolbox.org.

Our etheric body is our connection to the cosmos.

Our etheric body, our lives in energy, most of it invisible to our waking, thinking selves. He experiences himself as an instance, a subset, and, in effect, of the nation’s much larger etheric bodies, planet Earth, the solar system.

This is why, once a language bridge has been devised and practiced, such as remote testing, if permitted and necessary, it is relatively easy to direct it to access information from these larger “macro” fields. .

Why so mysterious?

Because your etheric body is ideally a servant of the highest and best “internet connection” between your waking self and your physical body, mind, emotions, etc., it has this “empty” appearance. The etheric body of a newborn does not attract attention unless he is in distress. It is allowing, perceiving, learning, making connections.

This is the “neither this nor that” characterization of the higher etheric realm first noted by Zen Buddhists. The upper etheric houses both the Void (divine masculine) and the Horn of Plenty (divine feminine activity in Creation).

In its character of “neither this nor that”, its not wanting to attract attention, its desire to remain in the background, keeping everything connected and maintained, our etheric body takes on its “mysterious” aspect. In fact, the etheric realm is home to the very quality and character of “mystery”; and we can add, the mutability of women, the pleasure that women find in acquiring new looks and experimenting with novel presentations of themselves.
