What does ether mean spiritually?
Referred to as 'akasha' in Sanskrit,
The Latin root is aether, which means "the upper pure, bright air." Ether was originally a scientific term for what 19th century physicists called "the fifth element," a substance that was said to fill all space and make up all bodies. In modern times, ether has come to be a literary term that refers to the sky.
"Into the ether" is an idiomatic expression that means to disappear or become lost, often without a trace. It can also refer to something that has been sent or communicated, but the message or meaning is unclear or has not been received by anyone.
e'-ther (`ether; Ather): A town in Judah (Joshua 15:42), near Libnah, assigned to Simeon (Joshua 19:7). Kh. el `Atr (identical in spelling with Ether) is possibly the site.
The Energy of Ether
' Ether is connected with the energy centre at the throat, known as the Vishuddha chakra. It is the centres of all directions, including the above and below, and as such is the element we can connect to no matter where we are.
ether1587– Chiefly literary. The clear sky; the upper regions of space beyond the clouds; the medium supposed to fill the upper regions of space, as the air…
ether, in physics, a theoretical universal substance believed during the 19th century to act as the medium for transmission of electromagnetic waves (e.g., light and X-rays), much as sound waves are transmitted by elastic media such as air.
The Ether currency symbol is currently Ξ, however, almost no one uses it.
Consciousness is Ether because they both have the qualities which are clear, subtle, light, expansive, and omnipresent. The 5 elements are the different manifestations of Awareness/Consciousness.
Diethyl ether is simply called ether, but was once called sweet oil of vitriol. Methyl phenyl ether is anisole, because it was originally found in aniseed. The aromatic ethers include furans. Acetals (α-alkoxy ethers R–CH(–OR)–O–R) are another class of ethers with characteristic properties.
What is the Hebrew word for ether?
Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon:
‛ether. Ether = "abundant" 1) a town in the lowlands of Judah allotted to Simeon.
The Afterlife
The Ether is where the deceased's souls normally move on to. Psychopomps guide the dead souls of all kinds ready to move on. This is said to keep the world spinning, through the energy and imagination of the souls.
In Indian philosophy and spirituality, the concept of the five elements, or "Pancha Mahabhuta", includes Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether or Akasha. Earth represents solidity, stability, and groundedness.
According to ancient and medieval science, aether (/ˈiːθər/, alternative spellings include æther, aither, and ether), also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere.
In traditional Western occult theory, the elements are hierarchical: Spirit, fire, air, water, and earth—with the first elements being more spiritual and perfect and the last elements being more material and base. Some modern systems, such as Wicca, view the elements as equal.
wrote that “the immediate effects of drinking ether are similar to those produced by alcohol, but everything takes place more rapidly; the stages of excitement, mental confusion, loss of muscular control, and loss of consciousness follow each other so quickly that they cannot be clearly separated from each other.”
Ether-like: Aromatic, sweet odor often accompanied by a sweet taste. Sometimes described as a "hospital odor.” Nasal irritant. Solvent-like: Sweet odor from common solvents used in paint thinners, paint removers, adhesives, and cleaning flu- ids. Type of odor often found in an auto body shop.
* Contact can irritate the skin and eyes. * Breathing Diethyl Ether can irritate the nose and throat. * Breathing Diethyl Ether can cause drowsiness, excitement, dizziness, vomiting, irregular breathing, and increased saliva. High exposure can cause unconsciousness and even death.
There are two primary reactions to generate ethers: either by Dehydration of Alcohols or by the Williamson Synthesis. Acyclic ethers can be prepared using Williamson's synthesis, which involves reacting an alkoxide with a haloalkane.
Dark matter and Aether are not related at all. 1) Dark matter can be detected gravitationally. The reason it is currently expected to exist is because introducing dark matter helps astronomical observations. 2) No serious scientist currently believes in the aether.
What gives ether?
Preparation of Ethers by Dehydration of Alcohols
In the presence of protic acids (sulphuric acid), alcohols undergo dehydration to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example: in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 443 K yields ethene whereas it yields ethoxyethane at 413 K.
In the fourth century BC, Aristotle proposed "aether" as a name for the fifth element postulated by his teacher Plato. Aether, or ether, made up the worlds of the outer celestial spheres believed to surround our own. By the middle of the 17th century, René Descartes was using the word to describe the medium of space.
Einstein says he believes that ether was undone by special relativity. Einstein has also defined the ether he talks about in terms that make it clearly the spacetime/gravity field of his General Relativity. Not a mechanical or kinematical thing itself, but codetermining mechanical efects.
