"Water has an extraordinary ability to cleanse the aether, not only The Aetheric Body of an individual but the surrounding or general aether as well. Many people find that the act of plunging into a lake or swimming pool has a most invigorating and enlivening effect upon them. Others experience a similar lift from a shower. Conversely, taking a bath generally is not as invigorating and tends more toward promoting restfulness or sleepiness."
"The secret of water's effect is motion. The water must be moving past The Aetheric Form in order for the aether to benefit. During normal daily activities -- mental, emotional, and physical -- The Aetheric Body of an individual tends to collect what might be called aetheric residue or impurities. These can come from the aetheric component of certain unwholesome foods like sugar, coffee, chocolate, etc. or from negative thought and emotional patterns. The Aetheric Body automatically shifts these impurities to its outermost shell or periphery, which actually projects about half an inch beyond the skin of the physical body."
"Now, when an individual jumps into a swimming pool or takes a vigorous shower, the water moves along and past the skin of his physical body, thus filtering the outer layers of his slightly projecting Aetheric Body. The water literally carries away the impurities which had been lodged in the outer parts of The Aetheric. Indeed, The Aetheric Body places the impurities at this location knowing full well that contact with moving water will sweep them away."
"The matter of water's ability to cleanse the aether extends to areas far beyond what We have just explained. For example, many people notice the 'clean' feeling in the air near a waterfall or near a quickly running river. Although this may be due, in part, to the increase in negative ions in the air, most of the feeling arises from the relative purity of the aether in the region of that running or falling water. The Aetheric Body of the individual feels the cleansed conditions, and the well-being which this induces in The Aetheric Body is transmitted down to the physical."
"Even water that is not running has some ability to cleanse the aether. The larger the body of water, the greater the cleansing effect. A point We have not yet made is that only fresh water is able to fully carry away the impurities that are in the aether. Salt water has some effect, but it is minor compared to that of fresh water."
