The Etheric
Law of Existence is, in my
view, a statement about the nature of reality. My view on Reality is: there
is more to life than just the physical, there are also nonphysical
components – not just concepts such as love, loyalty, truth, honesty, balance,
maturity, spirituality, etc, but also the actual, factual existence of
nonphysical realms, peoples and energies.
Scientists have not yet proven the existence of the nonphysical to
general satisfaction, but there have been hints along the way – things that
have been best summarised in Lyall Watson’s distinguished book “Supernature”, and other things like the
possible proof of precognition I wrote about here (and have heard nothing about since)
and the information at Victor Zammit’s website. I think they’ll
get there eventually, maybe in a few hundred more years when they overcome the
fundamental flaws and prejudices that have been marked their previous attempts (perhaps best illustrated by their attempts
to experimentally determine the existence of an ether).
Under the Etheric Law of Existence we have two Principles: the Magickal Principle of Nonphysicality, and
the Magickal Principle of Energy.
The first of these is restating the basic concept of the existence of the
nonphysical as a Principle: the second of these flows from that, and gets into
what is directly manipulated in Magickal Practice – Magickal Energy.
To quite some extent, this Law and its Principles are ‘stating the
obvious’, but I consider that doing so is worthwhile - and is something that is
implied, but not specifically stated, by anything I’ve read previously. That’s
a bit odd, given how fundamental this is.

Also, a couple of decades ago, while working on a book on rescue which I never finished, I did a few - lighthearted - sketches to help illustrate what I was writing about. The following sketch illustrates part of the above "statement of the obvious": that physical and nonphysical can interact (incidentally, I had intended to redraw these to be a bit more distinct, but as I haven't had time to do so over the last few decades, I've decided to post them now, as they are with a hope they may be of some use or lead to someone doing something better):
