Upper Planes and Flames

Dear JMG,

I listened to a podcast you did on monsters. I added your book to my list, it sounds interesting. My question is about something you said in this interview about how etheric beings can sometimes manipulate dust. I was wondering if the etheric plane can do the same for fire, maybe through the electromagnetic field?

I am asking because one of my meditation practices is staring at a candle flame, and when I really get into it, I find the flame can move it ways that feel like a mirror. So it got me thinking, according to your understanding, and if it is indeed possible for the upper planes like the etheric to influence fire, could it be my own etheric body interacts with the flame due to my concentration and contemplation of the flame?

If true, this could prove an interesting tool for my practice of spiritual alchemy, as I could maybe get clues to what my unconscious and subconscious minds are up to.
