The Somad Is Your Somod, the Living, Luminous Double of the Material Body

Baraduk developed a typology of these other worldly forces from the universal to the individual level. Drawing on reichenbach, he created his own definition for ode. He explained that astral light is not spirit itself, but it touches spirit, which acts on, modifies and multiplies it. So inside of you is this fluidic body that's breathing in the energy of the universe and then expressing out your own psychic energy. And we can't let the mediating body get out of control. In baraduke's work, we must apply our own subjective interpretation to the images he produced. Mumler and hope make us worry about too much from the human side of things
