I don't know.  I'm making this stuff up as I go along!
Let's say that the etheric channel is part of the
canvas upon which the picture of the universe is
painted.  Thus canvas cannot be found IN the painting,
but the painting could not exist without the canvas.

Or perhaps, that the mind that dreams this world
cannot be found IN this world, yet obviously affects
this world.

Or perhaps a more pedestrian solution such as a
parallel dimension or realm which has only VERY weak
interaction with our physical realm and so is only
able to affect things at a minute quantum level.

Or perhaps I can just wave my hands and say "it's
magic" and be done with it. :)
