The person you're quoting is talking about the lore behind ressing. It's explained in one of the first cutscenes of the game. To put it simple, you anchor your aether to a home point (an aetheryte), allowing it to return to that specific point when "dying" (although your health dropping to zero only knocks you out, lorewise)
