One basic question: Has "manasic" roughly same meaning as "mental" ?

One not so basic question: How can I distinquish on what level I
experience thoughts? How I know what thoughts are from personality and
what are not? What is the result of the brain, mind or soul intuition?
It's much like with telepathy. I don't know whether my thoughts are
just mine, or I am collectivily experiencing them with somebody or
some group.

Perhaps it's more correct to say the etheric substance is
"unexperienced" by most. "Invisible" suggests that ether can only be
seen or not seen. But it can be also heard, touched, tasted and
smelled. Physical senses and etheric senses sense same way but only on
different "level".

I usually feel the etheric currents on my skin as it were physical
substance creeping through my body. The problem usually is, like my
thoughts, that it always feels like one. When I feel etheric currents,
there are 100% physical to me. There is no feeling of both physical
sense and etheric sense. Well, that isn't really any problem, because
it feels so... enriching.

This etheric feeling has greatly improved my purifying exercises as I
feel where there are etheric "points of pressure" or "stagnation" in
my etheric body, that must be pushed into motion. The currents are
then safely driven up my body through the head centres. And when I
purify my etheric body before there clogs too much ill-behaving
energies, there seems to be total absence of ANY disease. Ah, wonders
of practical theosophy... O:-)

PS.
Yes I have cried today a lot too (after writing under irritation to
this very group earlier today), and it makes my thoughts fly high, as
the opaque astral material is then no longer blocking my mind! O:-)
