..Daskolos replied, that every human has three bodies , not only one ,as people commonly assume. We have , he said , in addition to our 'gross material body' , a 'psychic body' the body of sentiments, and a 'noetic body', the body which expresses our mental state. Each of these three bodies lives within a different dimension of existence , the gross material dimension , the psychic dimension and the noetic dimension.The three bodies express our 'present personality'which is a manifestation of our inner self , the 'permanent personality.' When our gross material body dies we continue to live witihin the psychic worlds with our 'psychonoetic body.'An experienced mystic , according to him , can leave his material body at will, travel with his psychnoetic body as complete self-conciousness and then return to his material body fully conscious of the experiences he had while in exomatosis.
Each of the three bodies ,Daskolos went on , has its corresponding 'etheric-double', the energy field that keeps the three bodies alive and linked to one another , Etheric vitality, which makes healing possible , is the cosmic energy which scientists have yet to discover. This energy is absorbed by our bodies through certain pyschnoetic centers , the 'chakras' or 'sacred discs.'-p 9 Magus of Strovolos by Kryiacos C.Markides
