At this point I will continue to present a number of essential concepts of great importance to the theory of Emoenergetica.
We draw on a vision of the cosmos in which the abstract and infinite awareness would manifest itself in a concrete way through great bands or emanations that, in turn, would contain worlds and beings. I will subsequently lay out my explanation of what a being is in more detail. For now, suffice it to say that an individual or being is an entity that exists embedded in a world and that is endowed with both body and mind. Although the mind has many functions, the most essential of all is that of perceiving.
We are bubbles of energy conscious of ourselves (individuals), assembled within even larger ones (world, planet, galaxy, universe, dimension, multiverse, divinity). Seemingly, evolution is a mechanism through which a being acquires more and more possibilities of knowing and acquiring consciousness. Perception generates knowledge.
The means to evolve would be the experience of lives, each of these with a specific potential, within a specific scenario or world, with its own laws, space, and time.
Existence, in essence, tries to transform energy into information, potentiality into actuality, ignorance into knowledge.
We find ourselves inside a universe of a dual character, of a physical-subtle nature. Subtle matter can exist without being associated with physical matter, whereas it seems that the latter must always be linked to the former.
In Central American nagualism, living beings with physical bodies were called organic beings, due to the presence of organs. In contrast, other types of consciousness that they came to know were called inorganic beings – denoting those which completely lack a physical body. The name inorganic, although it is useful, is not entirely accurate since these beings also have organs, a metabolism and physiology in their subtle bodies – as happens with our own subtlesoma.
Those who have developed the ability to see the subtle body attest to an ovoid structure, which, in the case of human beings, expands to at least one meter beyond the limits of the physical body, enveloping it and penetrating it into all directions. This form of cocoon is the usual one for organic beings that inhabit the Earth. Different textures and tissues can be distinguished in the ovoid, in the form of thread-like, globular and membranous structures, which are organized in sub-levels and layers. The subtlesoma is at least integrated by the system of chakras, the subtle channels and the aural system (formed in turn by at least eight levels: etheric body, emotional body, mental body, body of the etheric template, celestial body, body of the ketheric template and para-aural body).
The soul has traditionally been associated with non-ordinary states of consciousness, such as out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences. It is also the carrier of individuality beyond physical death due to its subtle nature.
Although in the past I believed that the electromagnetic field should be the juncture between the physical level and the subtle level, nowadays I am inclined to think that this is not the case, since the readings I have carried out in recent years do not seem to validate this hypothesis. There must necessarily be some kind of mechanism through which physical information is converted into subtle information and vice versa. It is quite possible that that connector between the subtle and physical worlds might be the gravitational field, since this is the one in charge of conserving and transmitting the information of the universe through linear space-time.
The state and workings of the subtlesoma are linked to a greater or lesser extent to those of the organism and vice versa. The energy cocoon would help to maintain the integrity and vitality of the organism, exchanging information with it and with the environment, supporting all the functions of the living being such as nutrition, respiration, metabolic and physiological processes, adaptation to the environment, communication, consciousness, relationships with other beings, emotions, mental processes, perception, learning, et cetera.
The energetic body animates the physical body; it gives it life, since the soul is what fuses with the fertilized egg at the moment of conception, detaching itself from the organism at the moment of physical death. Life is the manifestation of a selfness in a body: the original container of the self is subtle, its physical manifestation is always temporary.
All systems, both physical and subtle, within an individual are interconnected in some way; these are also interconnected with the environment at different levels of intensity and complexity. When you focus on the subtle component, you can see an innumerable amount of filaments that emerge from the subtlebody towards the environment and towards the beings with whom we relate. Our subtle part has a strong tendency towards interconnection.
Both the physical body and the energy cocoon replicate a common duality in all of Creation: they are organized by means of structures and functions.
The structures are containers and machinery that facilitate the execution of functions, which in turn are the programs through which activity is generated.
The individual is a system composed of paired and interwoven elements. Likewise, these are also systems and together constitute the individual matrix (the totality of individual structures and functions, physical body, subtlesoma, energy body, mind) which necessarily exists embedded in an environment with which it relates.
Living organisms are highly complex systems whose nature is a changing and dynamic one. They exist as a unified flow of processes that need to constantly adapt themselves to the environment, to the external world (that is, homeostasis). This capacity for adaptation is possible thanks to the attainment and maintenance of a level of symmetry or stable structural organization in its individual matrix.
To change is to pass from one state to another, which implies some kind of movement with the consequent consumption of energy. Symmetry is imperative for the conservation and sustenance of life.
The very act of existing entails a certain level of depletion. This is caused, firstly, by the energy expenditure necessary to maintain dynamism in the systems. As a consequence, there is the recurrent need to carry out new actions that are capable of obtaining adequate nutrition from the environment, in order to maintain a positive balance between expenditure and acquisition of energy in the individual matrix. Living systems also suffer the inherent wear and tear of being subject to the arrow of time, which produces the phenomenon of senescence or aging. These factors trigger the recurrent emergence of the aspect of reality that is antagonistic to symmetry, entropy – the tendency towards disorganization. The balance between symmetry and entropy is fundamental for the maintenance and development of life, as well as its quality. The relationship between these two aspects of reality is an essential component of the manifestation of one's existence, its mutations and its cycles.
Symmetry is the level of organization that bestows a system with the ability to sustain itself via a structure or matrix, preserving its immanent characteristics and essential functions, as well as its information and its relationship and connection with the environment. Symmetry grants the possibility for disorder and chance to transform themselves into purpose. True symmetry is the state of a system in which its functions are maximized and its energy expenditure is minimized, whilst, at the same time, a low level of entropy is maintained.
Every living being exists as the punctual expression of a field of probability. In the theory of Emoenergetica, sacred symmetry refers to the supersymmetric potential order that underlies all living things and that expresses an origin, a path and a purpose. Sacred symmetry is part of your own field of probability. Here, the sacred purpose of life is the extension of the consciousness of being, so that any path that takes us away from that end is a path without a heart and therefore, from the transpersonal point of view, sterile.
The entire universe is organized by means of nested symmetries. The reduction in symmetry favors the loss of functions and of organization (an increase in entropy), as well as a decrease in functional (that is, usable) energy and the structure’s capacity for self-preservation. The physical body, the mind, consciousness, and the energy cocoon are also organized via their own symmetries, being subject to variations of gain or loss. Any system that increases its level of symmetry, keeping entropy at bay, is improving its capacity to function properly, preserving and developing its structure and incorporating new energetically-efficient operations – that is to say, evolving its individual matrix.
The different nested symmetries of living beings, which are integrated to form the individual matrix, are organized in such a way that, in addition to preserving, they are impelled to increase and transmit their essential characteristics, in other words, to develop, reproduce and evolve.
The individual matrix is an open system because it is connected and interwoven with the external world, being obliged to exchange energy-information with the other systems and beings with which it relates in this world.
A system is a set of elements that are related-bonded to each other in some way, exchanging information-energy between themselves and generally with the environment (open systems). Observing the elements of a system individually, it is frequently difficult, or even impossible, to determine the properties and purpose of the whole grouping. The elements of a grouping are, in turn, systems in themselves formed by other elements, from which it follows that the concrete identification of an individual system is a subjective-perceptual-relative phenomenon. Systems are cognitive objects. An open system exchanges energy-information with its environment, communicates, nourishes itself, exists and tries to maintain itself in dynamic equilibrium, as well as develop itself in order to fulfill an existential purpose, which often remains hidden.
Information is an essential quality of existence that bestows characteristics and generates organization in systems. As indicated, systems have structure and function and are organized by means of different paired and nested symmetries. The concept of symmetry in Emoenergetica has a certain relationship with the negentropy of the Theory of Systems.
Systems store information encoded within themselves.
Seemingly, systems exchange energy-information with the environment in order to thrive or at least to maintain balance and homeostasis. Paradoxically, the exchange of information with the environment means that new needs and problems are generated, which leads the system to have to execute different types of strategies in order to reach equilibrium once again. When a system with the capacity to learn develops a new programme that covers a need or solves a problem, it memorizes the process and incorporates it as a design pattern (positive learning), improving its organization-symmetry. Sometimes the system is wrong and saves a perverse solution, a design anti-pattern, adding disorganization-entropy to the whole.
Organization is the framework by means of which the parts of a system relate with each other via energy-information flows that generate feedback processes with the interior and exterior, as well as sustaining the structures and functions of that system.
Symmetry increases the amount of certainty and organization in a system, while entropy increases the amount of uncertainty and disorganization.
