Communication with you--bi-directionally--is
  enhanced by, and is the result of, the coming into etheric form
  of the etheric crystalline body. It starts almost like a rock
  wall, where you have a stone here and a stone there, and together
  they create a shape.
  We have described [as in the Sedona Journal article] that the third eye is the third
  etheric crystal. It is a holographic crystalline device not only
  for clairvoyance but also for manifesting your entire reality.
  So you can think of the third eye as a projection device that
  actually projects forward into material experience human relationships,
  various events, and so forth. Think of it as one of those thousand-dollar,
  ceiling mounted projection devices that is actually projecting
  the results of your thoughts and your intentions as you then
  experience your world.
  The illusion is that you
  experience something and then you believe it. The reality is
  that you believe it and then you experience it. That gives you
  great responsibility. The moment of your liberation occurs when
  you take responsibility for the fact that you do indeed create
  your reality. Now this is not a state without compassion, because
  on your road to embracing the reality of this understanding,
  you have to "have that garage sale"--you have to get
  rid of core beliefs that you now know are inaccurate, that you
  now know are illusions. This is the great challenge of human
  embodiment: Do you resolve all of the pain and remove all of
  the obstacles? Do you remember that you are divine?
  Now, you could think of the
  beginning of the etheric crystalline body as your DNA programming
  and as that etheric-silicate counterpart (what you think of as
  cords, substance or silicon dioxide). For every material expression
  there is the ideational version that precedes it--or what we
  call the morphogenic structure. Just as there is physical
  force there is etheric force. Just as there is your physical
  body there is your etheric body.
  Within your very DNA are
  "microchips," which are not static as they are in your
  three-dimensional form. In other words, their capacity continuously
  to store information as it is changing your experience is infinite.
  And so, as we said the other night, DNA is not just the physical
  part that scientists have been able to track. DNA is actually
  multi-dimensional. And so you have there the Akashic Records
  of everything that you have ever been, said, done or thought,
  and everything that you can probably become is all there
  too.
  Then you have the etheric
  crystalline structures here [indicates the top and back of the
  head]--you know, the various places you get headaches. And there's
  a sort of antenna-like spiral here at the each side of the head,
  coiled flat here at the temple. In the process of reconnecting
  the 12 strands of DNA, a sort of webwork version of you (like
  a fish net) is created. You may have seen computerized, 3-dimensional
  depictions of a human form that has no skin but is just like
  contoured webbing. This would be the representative form most
  like what we're describing as your etheric crystalline light
  filament structure. This would also be a good way to picture
  your etheric template.
  All right. So think of
  the building of the etheric crystalline body as a communication
  network of contoured, intersecting lines that approximately describe
  your physical form or shape. And we're seeing a movement
  of energy almost like electrical things happening with that.
  It might be helpful to see this filling in of light structures
  so that those "rungs" or lines now light up. It doesn't
  happen in a regular pattern such as from the head down or from
  the center out.
  Depending on which chakras
  are open or not, there will be a lot of crystalline formation
  there. It is like creating a temple, which is what this process
  really is. And it's even more: It's communication. You can see
  that you can have only limited communication if you have just
  part of this communication structure open and set up as a crystalline
  focal point but that you don't really have full access to your
  connection to the ONE, which would mean: "Now I feel no
  separation from anything else."
  So you have these pockets
  of "construction" in areas about which you've allowed
  yourselves to come to consciousness and that you've developed.
  And so when you come into your spiritual path you start to develop
  the structures that fill in these intersecting "lines"
  around the heart area--in the front and the back. You see, it's
  coming into manifestation as you work with issues, become conscious
  of them and resolve them, and so forth--for example, solar plexus
  issues such as fear and survival.
  As you lose your attachment
  to them from your brain and ego focus. You release what impedes
  the light filaments from creating these structures in full, so
  that the ideal, "finalized" etheric crystalline body
  would mean that every "area" of the body template is
  now filled with light filaments.
  Now this is true only as
  physical existence intersects with consciousness creation. For
  example (it is very difficult to describe), it's not as though
  you don't already have a Light Body or light structure. This
  etheric crystalline body is like your communication liaison between
  your physical form (while your consciousness of Ascension is
  still in your physical body) and then as the body's energies
  are transmuted by association with the etheric crystalline structure
  (gradually here and eventually then filling out more and more),
  at some point there's a transmutation of the body which you're
  calling bringing your body to light.
  When you bring your body
  to light you don't discard the physical body as in death, where
  you drop it like you're molting and your spirit goes into a discarnate
  form as you await your choice for your next life. We're saying
  that there's an alchemical process, or a transmutational process
  that the etheric crystalline body is part of. It's almost as
  when you see construction workers setting up scaffolding in constructing
  a building until they have all the infrastructure in place. The
  process of building the etheric crystalline body is much like
  this. At some point the light scaffolding can be removed. Then
  the physical structure will disappear.
  In your work this weekend
  all of you have added etheric "structure," especially
  around the heart. You're also filling in the gaps in your etheric
  crystalline body around your third eye and throat, do you see.
  As you are conscious of work that you're doing in this area,
  and as you open your awareness and come out of lack of knowledge
  (meaning, as you come into acceptance of these possibilities
  for yourselves in remembrance), you can make great leaps and
  great accelerations such as this weekend. Maybe there was nothing
  here and then suddenly you have this whole area filled with light
  from here to there--front, back and sides.
  This is what these great
  opportunities you provide for yourselves do for you as you go
  along in your journey. On the Soul level, and under the direction
  of your guides, you realize that this indeed is what will take
  place. Whether your mental body and/or emotional body approves,
  on the Soul level you're creating this for yourselves in doing
  such work.
  QUESTION:
  So the etheric crystalline body--is that an intermediate to
  the , or does that actually become the Light Body?
  Your Light Body is with you
  now. It is with you between incarnations as the "part"
  of you that can travel out to other universes, but this is not
  the same as the astral body. When you come to a certain level
  of Ascension consciousness your astral body goes away. The astral
  body, at least in the past, has been your connection to higher
  planes. Now we're saying that the Astral plane is a lower plane.
  It is actually unnecessary to connect to the Astral plane to
  come into this spiritual understanding.
  The relationship between
  your Light Body and your etheric crystalline body is much like
  when moonlight reflects on window glass. So there's an effect
  on the etheric crystalline body from its proximity to the Light
  Body. By the way, if things become too intense and people aren't
  aware of their right to call their wandering light bodies back,
  then the Light Body sometimes can take off to enjoy more pleasant
  experiences, for example, in some other universe. This is not
  "kosher."
  This calls to mind an important
  exercise to do when you're not grounded. Every morning when you
  get in your car, call your Light Body to come back and be with
  you. This grounds you in its association with your other bodies--especially
  with your etheric body. You receive energy through your etheric
  body, and so if you have chronic fatigue, maybe you have some
  lost soul aspects that need to come back, or maybe your Light
  Body is not with you, where it belongs. So know that you can
  say to your Light Body: "Hey! Come back here. It's your
  duty." And then the Light Body, as it might be experienced
  clairvoyantly and clairaudiently, might say: "Oops! I forgot."
  Just for your understanding,
  you can see your bodies in layers. You have your mental body,
  emotional body, physical body, spiritual body and so forth. You
  can see these bodies as parts of a composite that's stretched
  out for you the way medical diagrams look. They actually are
  "superimposed" over each other and are actually unified
  unless you really have a lot of blockage going on in the heart
  chakra, and so forth.
  People who do clairvoyant
  work and cranio-sacral work, and so forth, often see this little
  protrusion of the etheric body coming out the top of someone's
  head when it's slightly askew and out of alignment with their
  physical body. This can happen when the physical body experiences
  trauma; for example, if you got thrown from a horse, your etheric
  body might be "jarred" and become misaligned. Doing
  cranio-sacral work actually helps gently to realign all the bodies.
  QUESTION:
  Is the etheric body damaged when the physical body is damaged?
  In other words, if the Light Body is damaged by certain experiences,
  would you have to rebuild something?
  Yes. The etheric body can
  be damaged. You would have open portals that would need to be
  sealed, and these are also created sometimes by trauma or addictions,
  or by a person's constant denial of something. You can actually
  damage your etheric body by your thoughts. To heal these open
  portals, you can call in St. Germain, who's an expert on working
  with the etheric template. That template is your perfected form--especially
  your physical body--and its condition determines how your physical
  body relates to all the other bodies. Call in St. Germain, ask
  him to bring in the violet transmuting flame, seal those open
  portal ways and repair the tears in your etheric web.
  QUESTION:
  Once your etheric body is healed, then your Light Body might
  return to you too?
  Yes. That would be reasonable
  to expect.
  QUESTION:
  What happens, for example, with someone who has had many addictions
  and self-abuse? Would they want to come back in another body
  to ascend with a "better" body?
  No, because, as we perceive
  it, that karma still has to be resolved. And so it's not so much
  an issue of coming back in a better body but, rather, the karmic
  issue will still have to be explored again.
  QUESTION:
  Why did my body react the way it did yesterday? (This attendee
  reacted to the workshop energies with nausea and diarrhea for
  much of Saturday.)
  In the intensity of such
  workshops as this, you can only hold so much. This depends on
  where you are in your path, in your understanding, your physical
  comfort, etc., because of the light energy coming in. Where you
  start to shut down first is in your physical body, as a human
  body, because it is trying to protect you from what it considers
  to be an invasion of sorts when you start to feel uncomfortable.
  Only a disciplined consciousness can say: "Just ignore that."
  When your muscles are on fire and your whole body aches, you
  can ask for Divine energy to come in and clear out these things
  that block you from absorbing these light energies.
  All right. We thank you so
  much for your kind attention, and we are Melora.
