An inquiry into the relation between our sense of Beauty and the nature of the human Bodyfields
An understanding of this theme requires an explanation of how our personality is rooted in the deeper layers of the psyche. It is in the personality that aesthetic awareness has its culmination and can lead to aesthetic acts.
But what happens in us before it reaches that point? We have to study the system of these deeper layers in order to find out where the roots of aesthetic awareness are.
Another important question: why is our sense of beauty such a powerful but difficult to define force? It has to do with the fact that it is a non-verbal and an introvert experience.
I will put on the table what I know about this theme and I will try to see patterns and make connections that can lead to a new meaning of things.
I will lean mostly on the personal experiences I made in this field; they are the pillars on which I am standing and without them would all that I am writing come down to just intellectual knowledge. Secondly I will use a terminology and a way of thinking that has an eastern origin, related to so called esoteric knowledge , and thirdly in order to go beyond this eastern paradigms I gathered information from recent scientific reports . My aim is to see the overall picture, the Gestalt , while formulating my insight as much as possible in a scientific framework.
I have a profound reason to search for the roots of this experience because the present day humanity, the European white society of which I am a part, has reached a point that shows that it is culturally, and possibly also biologically, degenerating.
Indo-European peoples, in particular that part that has been known in history as the Aryans, have shown to possess an outstanding awareness of beauty, above all expressed in the combination of architecture and engineering. It looks like humanity is going to lose this quality forever when the white Europeans are vanishing from the earth. Yes, technology can be used and developed by other races, like the Japanese and Chinese have shown, but they are not the creators of this process.
The creation of science and its applications in technology seem to be securely linked to the cultural achievements of the European man.
The dire state of European man is clearly shown in the degeneration of his architecture. It has become a soulless corpse. When the inspiring quality of beauty has gone from its architecture it is no more than a skeleton compared to a living body. When a race has for thousands of years shown an outpouring of beauty in its culture, the sudden absence of it is the sign of a deep disturbance in its inner life.
Is this down going just a cultural decline or is it also of a biological nature?
In the last case a catastrophe seems unavoidable unless we are capable to make a clinically honest diagnosis of our situation.
It has become obvious to me during a long stay in India that the Brahmanic tradition, as an offshoots of the Aryan past, has been a much better guardian of the Indo European or Aryan knowledge than we in the west are aware of. Also that the Yogic techniques used in different spiritual traditions are originally coming from a very rational experimental and systematic watchfulness which is so to say a proto scientific culture, but introverted in its nature compared to the extraverted western approach.
The urgency to find an answer to the described situation obliges me to reintroduce that knowledge to a western audience. In fact it is a demand here that to find a valid viewpoint one has to step outside the boundaries of our European culture. Nobody seems to realise that a patients mind is also part of his disease and that to be able to have a proper diagnosis of a patients disease a viewpoint outside the patients mind is needed !
My point of departure in this inquiry is that Beauty Is the fundamental core of Art.
Anything that does not allow us to recognise the frequency of Beauty in it cannot be classified as Art.

Our western science has not been able to say anything meaningful about the inner world of man because its paradigms prevent this. The western psychology, with as its culmination the work of Sigmund Freud, is not a real science at all and has to be replaced by a real knowledge of man.
This can only be explained to westerners in a decent way when we depart from a rigid scientific materialistic model of thinking and accept for the time being some eastern paradigms.
(Lit. 3) www.renegadetribune.com : New Paradigms by Vig.
These eastern paradigms are about the reality of the human “subtle bodies”, as they are named in yogic texts from India. Actually they are energy fields of a different nature and density that are as yet not described by regular science. That is why I want to refer to them in this article by a new word: “Bodyfields“. I am using this word Bodyfield not just as a ways of thinking concerning our deeper nature but essentially as a rational but non materialistic model that is using a more straightforward language to describe the experiences of spiritual seekers that have been gathered in the known past of thousands of years.
Accepting the eastern understanding reveals to us immediately a natural explanation for death and reincarnation, being taboos in the western mindset. It is not so simple that when you read an ancient yogic text it will bring you this new understanding. This is where a big problem lies. In most of us doubt will persist especially with the academically trained persons.
Some of our basic and autonomous thought processes that deal with our sense of time and space are so unconscious that we can not change it on will or by being intellectually convinced .
Only experiencing those layers by introspection or meditation will bring us to a shift in understanding that leads to the acceptance of the existence of the Bodyfields. I want to emphasise that these Bodyfields indicate a biological reality that is independent of race or culture.
Now what are these Bodyfields in rational and preferably scientific terms?
All I can say is that the spiritual experiences I had in the last decades were unique and powerful and essentially did not happen before I practiced Tibetan spiritual techniques, and these experiences were enough to make me accept them as a “possible” reality.
The latest scientific developments regarding the insight in the workings of our brain and nervous system through PET (positron emission tomography) and MRI scans (magnetic resonance interference scans) unmistakably point in the direction of a reality that the yogis of Tibet and India have known already for ages.
There are seven Bodyfields. The first is the material, or the physical and chemical level. The second is the etheric or electric, basically the electro-magnetic field created by our active nervous system. The next is the 1st astral and consists of light, then of a slightly different level the 2nd astral , next are the 1st and 2nd mental Bodyfields of still rarer composition. They have the properties of a field not as yet defined by science. The seventh one is the ultimate and is undefined .
The interaction of these Bodyfields is characterized as follows: Upwards, starting from the physical , the more powerful they are in their influence on our lives. The higher up the more rare their field nature is. The volume of those bodies is an aura of energy waves around the physical body. The higher Bodyfields envelope the lower ones like in a Russian doll.
A mystery that science these day starts to research on is that of extra sensorial perception, for example after death experiences and synchronicity. A sort of united field theory seems to be necessary. A breakthrough in physics has recently occurred with the discovery of scalar waves (Lit. 13) These waves are a form of electromagnetic fields with as yet some strange properties. One of them is that their speed of propagation seems to be able to go faster than light! This is taking out the whole foundation of present day physics. With this extra-luminal speed a possible explanation is there for amongst others : “kundalini experiences” and paranormal happenings . The first could be explained as the entering of our conscious awareness into the nerves of the spinal column where is the domain of the scalar waves which then take us out of the known dimensions of time and space.
In short it means that our daily bodily awareness, the reality of time and space functions through the visible range of electromagnetic waves, while introvert experiences, like for example a kundalini experience, happen when our awareness penetrates into the spinal column where our Bodyfields assume a different quality of electromagnetic waves, so called scalar waves. These scalar waves allow us by their faster then light speed to connect to the cosmos.
In pure scientific terms a new era has begun in Russia with the technique of Kirlian photography through which at least some of the Bodyfields can be made visible in colour photography.
My more than twenty years of experience in the spiritual technique of Tibetan Pulsing Yoga have taught me that in the iris of the human eye one can distinguish a unique record of one’s psychological state of being. All strong emotional happenings in one’s life leave traces that are scars in the bio electric system of the nerves. They appear in the iris of both eyes differently and we can learn to diagnose them. The eyes are the window to the soul!
Emotions are rooted in the astral field , that means they are not happening in certain brain cells, but they have a strong effect on the electric Bodyfield and ultimately also on the physical level. Western science has as yet not been able to localize the place or the cells in the brain where our consciousness is seated. Consciousness is most probably seated in the highest Bodyfield and is hovering around our body and can intersect with it at any place depending on the quality of our body awareness.
Another fundamental discovery in the recent science of neurology is the following: Through the technique of MRI and PET scans scientists could measure that whenever we consciously notice that we do something, whatever it is, there has been measured an activity in that part of the brain that is responsible for executing that task a few seconds before it enters our awareness. The consequences of this are far reaching. It shows unmistakably that there is something in us that is faster, smarter and more in control than our waking consciousness. That means we are not the ones we think we are.
Small markings in the iris of the eye are the scars in the electric circuits of the nerves that emotional shocks leave behind. This is the most convincing evidence I have of the existence and the interconnection of the Bodyfields, but I am sure that the ongoing developments in the field of neuroscience will inevitably prove the existence of the astral and mental Bodyfields. (Lit.4 and 5)
A far reaching consequence of all this is that there is no place anymore for the ultimate leftist paradigm that all human beings are equal. All human beings are unique, but unequal, and this has consequences.
Here is a warning. All readers who, as a first reaction to reading my statement about the un equality of man, come to the thought that the author may not have any consideration for the well being of the “downtrodden” and the “poor”, are suffering from black and white thinking. An old phenomenon that in modern language is called “politically correct” thinking. Following the message of this essay there is an iron logic that brings one to the conclusion that this is a symptom of having an identification in one’s emotional life with being “downtrodden” and “poor”. If one is not aware of this it is bound to come out in the form of a projection. This is what the whole society is doing , “taking it out” on others.
Being aware of one s projections changes fundamentally one’s social interactions.
Just from my extensive experience in reading human eyes I conclude that on the level of the second Bodyfield there is already so much difference in terms of levels of integration and psychological health between individuals seeing the ways that the Bodyfields are interacting, the differences must be even more outspoken in the higher levels as they are connected and interdependent! One has very young and very old souls, and everything in between.
This whole understanding has not entered the western consciousness as yet, but it is on the brink of establishing itself. When this insight settles in the mind of present day man it will completely change our European culture.
As I don’t believe in the return of pagan beliefs for the obvious reason that science has now become an integral part of our culture, without which we can’t live anymore; it will be the start of a totally new culture in which pagan values might be seen in a different light. Dropping the two thousand year old Christian repression might allow these values to morph into a new dimension. Definitely democracy will be left behind as a naive illusion.
The whole Marxist-leftist paradigm will have no foundation anymore, because we can with objective means show who is still on the level of an ape and who is capable of civilized behaviour.
Of course this statement will face a stiff resistance in our so called liberal society because it will disturb the liberal dreams. However it is very obvious that, to avoid the doomed destruction of our planet , governance ought to be in the hands of spiritually mature people instead of a clique of cunning politicians who are supported by the known social parasites
The further understanding of this Bodyfield theory brings the following questions: If we accept life after death how does reincarnation happen and what is actually the role of the “personality” that we perceive in the other?
The eastern understanding is that with death the soul leaves the mortal body and continues in another form sooner or later or dissipates into the cosmos.
We can safely assume that all alive organic matter on earth has an energy field around its local presence, but we don’t know how far the most rare and elusive part of that field is spatially defined. Maybe it stretches out much further than science can measure. From here it is not speculative to assume that all living matter together has a collective energy field that in its subtlest forms envelopes the whole crust of the planet earth. This is the so called “Biosphere”. With death the chemical and the electric bodies disintegrate but the third and higher astral and mental Bodyfields withdraw to the astral plane and remain.
