Etheric Vision

According to theosophical teaching, the power of sight peculiar to the etheric double, a subtle counterpart of the physical body. Etheric vision is of considerably greater power than physical vision, and by its aid many of the phenomena of the physical world may be examined, as well as many creatures of a nonhuman nature that are ordinarily just outside the range of physical vision. It responds readily to stimuli of various kinds and becomes active under their influence.
