Chapter 35The Human World · Flying
Book 5. Part Two: The Opening of the Inner Senses · Section Three: Symbols
When you find yourself flying it is always the vital being in the subtle body in the vital world that is doing it.
* the consciousness in the vital sheaths has gone out and is moving over places in the vital or subtle physical world (even sometimes the material); it is always in the vital sheath that one flies like that.
The ascending movement is different — in that it is the consciousness that goes high up to other planes or levels and comes down again to the body.
