The ethers have the quality of flowing, and lack the clear distinctions of physical matter. It is my understanding that a true “seeing” of distinct etheric bodies is dependent on first developing a complete “sealed” etheric membrane in one’s own etheric body. This, in turn, is developed by spiritual practice as outlined in How to Know Higher Worlds. Steiner speaks there of the “etheric web.” and of various currents and flows one can develop within the ether body. It is my understanding that these newly formed qualities of the etheric body require ongoing practice, or nutrition one might say, to become reliable as a basis for receiving the input of organs of spiritual perception.
