Nature beings and the etheric body
In this article we propose to address the little-discussed and confusing subject of nature beings. In the mapping of the invisible world, their place is often poorly defined and wrongly associated with disembodied spirits. For contemporary modernity, they simply do not exist. Knowledge of these beings and their mode of operation is, however, fundamental to explain numerous so-called paranormal phenomena (sleepwalking, the presence of ghosts, etc.) and pathological behaviors in human beings that do not find a conventional medical explanation. These disorders are essentially associated with their etheric body, which we will try to describe succinctly. As an illustrative example of the universality of their presence and their mode of behavior, we will consider in a little more detail the case of mermaids and elves with “uneven feet.”
