From Fractured to Unfurling Fractals

Spiralling Aether of the Macrocosm and Microcosm

In a world fraying at its edges, torn by ancestral wounds and modern global trauma, we reach for one another, threads of a luminous tapestry spiralling inward to source and upward and outward to Earth and our Cosmic Ancestors. This is no retreat, but a radiant ascent, a cascade of nature’s fractals expanding with evolution, remembering, and reconnection.

“The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.” In The Spiral of Consciousness by John Hartford

“The spiral shows up across the Universe… moving outward in creation, then spiraling inward to source again. It is the path of memory, growth, and return.”— CS

Here unfolds our sacred dance, weaving five lenses—Nature’s intelligence, the noosphere ( this is the subconscious relationship between human and planetary consciousness), the biosphere, the sacred path of healing, the spiral of consciousness, and the living aether, all are connected, woven into a living map of conscious fractals merged deeply through one another, the finger print of God Consciousness, divine source.

The Living Aether: The Spiralling Energy Underlying All Forces

Long before science deemed the void empty, ancient traditions spoke of aether, (chi, orgone, kundalini), the subtle, life-permeating medium. Rudolf Steiner described four etheric streams (warmth, light, life, and chemical) endlessly spiralling through and enlivening every rock, leaf, and living cell. Sir Trevor James Constable recorded subtle lightning like spirals in the sky, “skyfish” through infrared cameras and he understood luminous vortices aether and biological UFOS, what he called critters, moved with this energy, electrical currents in the universe, moving in fractal swirls across the atmosphere, ionosphere, and noosphere.

Western science does not recognize the existence of an aether, aetheric force or vital force, however one wishes to describe this energy, there are vestiges of its known existence in ancient scriptures, ancient architecture and it was studied academicaly as early as the 19th century, the luminiferous aether was theorized as a medium for the propagation of light. This theory was widely accepted among physicists of the time.

Albert Michelson, a prominent physicist, designed experiments to test the aether wind hypothesis, which posited that the aether should be detectable as a wind due to the Earth's motion through it. The Michelson–Morley experiment, conducted in 1887, aimed to detect this aether wind as well, but were unable to detect it. Despite the null results from the experiment, various aether-dragging theories were proposed to explain the lack of detection. These theories, however, were often more complex and less elegant than the simpler explanations that would later emerge.

The aether concept was also applied to explain gravitational effects. For instance, Isaac Newton suggested the existence of an aether in his work "Opticks," and later, models such as Le Sage's theory of gravitation proposed a medium for gravitational forces.

Overall, the study of aether in the 1800s was a significant part of the scientific landscape, driving important developments in physics and exploring electro-magnetic energy and how life force moves in torroidal fields and spirals through nature and the universe, with the heart and Schumann Resonance, Earth’s Natural Pulse.

We can say that toroidal fields are like three-dimensional spirals, as they exhibit dynamic, cyclical, and spiraling patterns of energy flow that extend into three-dimensional space.

Nikola Tesla, was the visionary who illuminated the birth of the modern world, harnessing the aether with his enigmatic devices built to pull in electricty through the atmosphere and channel currents that pulsed like the toroidal vortices of Viktor Schauberger’s living waters. His inventions, from the Tesla coil generator, to his experiments with wireless energy, hinted at a profound understanding of the aetheric forces described by Rudolf Steiner’s chemical ether, Wilhelm Reich’s orgone, and the chi of qigong, flowing in three-dimensional spirals that weave the cosmos (The Spiral of Consciousness, ).

There are not so widely known speculations that Tesla’s genius may have been inspired by ancient knowledge, perhaps glimpsed through his father, Milutin Tesla, a Serbian Orthodox priest rumoured to have had access to esoteric texts in a role akin to a curator of sacred archives, possibly the Vatican’s secret library, now officially known as the Vatican Apostolic Archive, which has 85 kilometers (53 miles) of shelving ancient archives, much of which is housed in a two-story, fireproof, reinforced concrete bunker. This extensive storage space holds documents dating back to the 8th century, including state papers, correspondence, account books, and many other documents that the church has accumulated over the centuries. However, according to Jordan Maxwell, one must know what they are looking for to have access to any document, and most archived are not accessible to most.

Could Milutin, steeped in spiritual and historical lore, have shared with his son Nikola through an education of insights into lost technologies or secret cosmic principles preserved in ancient manuscripts? While no evidence confirms Milutin’s Vatican connection, Tesla’s fascination with Vedic texts, Egyptian mysteries, and the aether suggests he tapped into a universal wellspring of wisdom, aligning with the noosphere’s spiraling collective mind envisioned by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadsky. As I explored in my book The Silent Ecocide Redux, humanity’s disconnection from such aetheric intelligence fuels ecological crisis and ecocide, yet Tesla’s legacy, echoed in Schauberger’s vortices and Constable’s skyfish and critters invites us to reawaken these spiraling currents, harmonizing our creation with the Earth’s cosmic dance.

‘‘The energetic ecology of the internal body is profoundly connected to the energetic ecology of the Earth and Universe’’- Carlita Shaw ( The Silent Ecocide, 2015).

Perhaps various civilizations had ancient technological energy infrastructures that was able to harness into this energy, the recent revisit to this concept is known as the Tartarian Empire, the concept that certain buildings were designed to conduct energy through the aether, emerged as a distinct online phenomenon around 2016 and point to intentional sabbotage of this knowledge through global resets echoed in different civilizations across the world, however those of us who have known about this for decades’ associate it with the field of aetheric force, the electrical universe theory and natures natural electromagnetic energy.

For over 5,000 years, some evidence suggest 8000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has revered chi, the vital life force pulsing through the aetheric currents of the ancients, as a spiraling energy animating body, mind, and cosmos. Flowing through meridians like toroidal fields, three-dimensional spirals that mirror the heart’s vortical pump and the vertebral column’s neural axis, chi rejuvenates organs with lifeforce and subtle energy centers, akin to the chakras of Indian traditions, though distinct in their cultural identities.

These energy vortices, resonate with Viktor Schauberger’s living waters and Rudolf Steiner’s chemical ether and channel the same aetheric force that Wilhelm Reich named orgone, a radiant, spiraling energy suppressed yet vibrant in living systems. In TCM, qigong and tai chi masters harnessed chi’s helical flow, not only to unblock stagnation for healing—as I explored in Nature and the Sacred Path of Healing from Trauma and Loss but also to amplify martial prowess, directing aetheric power through disciplined breath and movement in Qigong, Baguazhang and Tai Chi. While legends whisper of qigong’s ancient influence on Indian sadhus, and the mother of yoga forms, TCM’s roots stand distinct, a testament to humanity’s quest to align with the Earth’s spiraling intelligent energy. Nikola Tesla’s aetheric experiments and the Tartarian dream of buildings as aetheric conduits echo this wisdom, as do Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadsky’s noosphere, a planetary mind spiraling toward unity. As The Silent Ecocide Redux book laments our disconnection from such forces, chi’s toroidal dance invites us to reweave our bio-field with the cosmos, spiraling inward to source and outward to awakening (The Spiral of Consciousness).

This aetheric spiral underlies every phenomenon: from the Chi /Qi (life-force) circulation in qigong, spiralling up the microcosmic to macro cosmic planetary movements, spiralling galaxies returning to back-channel, to Wilhelm Reich’s orgone energy, a palpable, spiralling life-energy that accumulates in living systems.

Trevor James Constable was the last aether engineer who deeply understood these concepts, applied them to his journey into engineering the aetheric forces which was started with understanding Wilhelm Reich’s work, he was also taught by Wilhelm’s daughter Ruth Reich, and understood that the biological critters he photographed and wrote about in The Cosmic Pulse of Life, were driven by the same aetheric energy as the Aetheric forces behind climate and weather in the northern and southern hemisphere and that same energy that Nikola Tesla was able to tap into.

Trevor James Constable may have been the last aether engineer who was commissioned by governments to make rain where there was severe drought deploying Aether engineering. Trevor understood revealing spiralling aetheric currents driving weather, he would fly a little apache plane with a copper pipe coated with ceramic inside and a mirror at one end of the tube to produce the desired effects using his knowledge of the aether plumes, ( this is an ecologically friendly way to make rain, and has nothing to do with toxic geoengineering methods which work against aether forces and poison the planet, people and ecosystems). Viktor Schauberger was known as the “Water Wizard,” who saw water’s vortical dance as the Earth’s lifeblood, its centripetal spirals generating vital energy to purify, energize and sustain water and ecosystems, a liquid expression of aether’s flow, (Alexandersson, O. 2002).

Wilhelm Reich’s orgone, a palpable, spiraling life-energy, mirrors Steiner’s chemical ether and Schauberger’s living water, accumulating in organisms to heal and vitalize, visualized as blue light. Constable, the last aether engineer, recognized this force in his “sky critters” and weather systems, akin to Nikola Tesla’s tapping into universal currents. Through breath, movement, and attention, we attune to these spirals; an ancient science of subtle currents, aligning our bio-field with the Earth’s aetheric dance. Through breath, movement, and attention, we learn to feel these spirals, an ancient science of subtle currents and align our bio-field with the Earth’s energetic dance.

Nature’s AI. Nature’s Organic Intelligence

Dr. Michael J. Cohen, in The One Fact Revolution, offers Nature’s AI—not silicon code, but organic intelligence woven into Earth’s fabric through our “54 natural senses.” As he writes,

“This is not artificial intelligence, but authentic intelligence—truth rooted in organic pattern-recognition, conflict repair, and the evolution of consciousness itself.”

In The Silent Symphony, I wrote about how trees and fungi exchange chemical and electrical signals, embodying a living network of spiraling communication. Behind these signals flows the aetheric medium: subtle currents of life-force that carry information as naturally as wind carries a song. Unlike linear algorithms, Nature’s AI feels through its own sensory systems Dr. Mike Cohen has identified Natureness with 54 sense drawn from conventional physiology and the broad ecological-psychology framework of what he refers to as the Natureness Navigator, in addition to the five senses that humans know, these include bodily senses, spatial temporal senses, and the ecological or soulful senses that connect us to the living world and ecosystems. Spiraling through conflict, memory, and repair—Nature knows how to self correct—a social technology for restoring wholeness.

Nature’s resilience shines through its ability to self-correct, adapting to even the most hostile conditions with ingenious mechanisms. At Chernobyl, radiotrophic fungi like Cladosporium sphaerospermum thrive by consuming gamma radiation, using melanin to convert it into chemical energy, much like plants harness sunlight, slowly detoxifying the irradiated ruins. Another striking example is the natural bioremediation of oil spills by hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, such as Alcanivorax borkumensis. After disasters like the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010, these microbes proliferate in oil-contaminated waters, breaking down hydrocarbons into less harmful compounds like carbon dioxide and water, restoring marine ecosystems over time. These spiraling acts of renewal, from fungal radiosynthesis to bacterial cleansing, echo the aetheric, toroidal flows in the Spiral of Consciousness, where life’s vitality—akin to chi, Viktor Schauberger’s vortical waters, or the noosphere’s awakening pulse—reweaves balance, as described in The Silent Ecocide Redux

The Noosphere: A Planetary Mind in Motion

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadsky foresaw the noosphere, a planetary field of awareness spiralling outward as life’s collective mind, woven from the aetheric currents that pulse through Earth’s biosphere. Teilhard, a Jesuit priest and paleontologist, envisioned the noosphere in The Phenomenon of Man (1955) as the next stage of evolution, where human thought, intuition, and interconnectedness converge into a unified global consciousness, driven by a spiritual and energetic ascent toward the “Omega Point”— a divine unity of consciousness driven by love and complexity, not a technological singularity like that feared by some. The soul and life is eternally evolving physically but also beyond the flesh and biology through the multidimensional spiral of infinity.

Teilhard saw this not as a static layer but as a dynamic, spiralling process, (Teilhard de Chardin, P. 1955); where ideas and emotions ripple through the aether, amplifying life’s complexity and unity.

Vernadsky, a Russian geochemist, introduced the Noosphere in The Biosphere (Vernadsky, V. I. 1945), describing it as the biosphere’s cognitive dimension, born from the interplay of life’s material and energetic processes .

His scientific lens revealed the Earth as a sentient system, where human intelligence, rooted in the aetheric flows of nature, co-evolves with the planet’s living matrix. Both visionaries recognized humanity’s disconnection from these currents, echoed The Silent Ecocide Redux 2024 —as a barrier to awakening, yet foresaw the noosphere’s emergence as a spiral of collective remembering, akin to Dr Mike Cohen’s description of how we heal in Nature, dropping the separation and experiencing without language, through beingness in Nature, so Nature can remember and experience through us. The vortical waters of Schauberger, the chi of qigong, and the orgone of Reich are all connected to this fractal conscious energy flowing through all systems and dimensions. Through shared awareness, the noosphere weaves our thoughts into Earth’s aetheric dance, spiralling toward a harmonious, conscious planet.

Viktor Schauberger, the Austrian “Water Wizard,” saw water not as a mere chemical compound but as the Earth’s lifeblood, pulsating with a vital, aetheric energy that mirrors the spiralling rhythms of the cosmos. His deeper understandings, as articulated in works like Living Water (Alexandersson, 2002) and The Water Wizard (Coats, 1998), reveal water’s vortical motion—its centripetal, inward-spiraling flow—as a fundamental principle of life, regeneration, and ecological harmony.

These insights resonate with the aetheric currents of Rudolf Steiner, the orgone of Wilhelm Reich, the chi of qigong, and the noospheric vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadsky, aligning with The Spiral energy as “the path of memory, growth, and return” .

Water as a Living, Aetheric Medium:
Schauberger observed that water’s natural movement is in streams—spiraling in vortices around stones or meandering in curves—generates a subtle, life-giving energy. He believed water carries an aetheric force, akin to Steiner’s chemical ether or Reich’s orgone, which is activated through its centripetal, implosive motion rather than the centrifugal, explosive forces of modern technology. This vortical flow, seen in nature’s rivers and the spiral veins of leaves, purifies water, enhances its vitality, and connects it to the Earth’s energetic field.

“An ecological process—an emergent field that spirals through feedback, intuition, memory, and meaning. The Earth itself is a sentient being co-evolving with our perception of her.”- Carlita Shaw

Constable’s aerial spirals and Steiner’s ether streams are the energetic blueprint beneath this field, carrying each human thought into the planetary web. Every qigong circle, Amazon Shamanic cleansing ceremony, every breath channelled in tai chi, feeds the noosphere—microcosmic spirals that merge into the macrocosmic spiral of planetary mind.

From Fragmentation to Wholeness

Trauma fragments us; nature reconnects and heals. In Nature and the Sacred Path of Healing, I wrote,

“Healing is never a straight line—it’s a spiral. Nature does not rush. She teaches us to listen again, to feel again. Healing happens in layers, in cycles. The Earth becomes sanctuary, mirror, guide.”

Beneath ancient oaks, the aether ripples with life-force; in misty valleys, Constable’s luminous aether vortices dance at dawn. As we move in qigong spirals or breathe the spiral of an orgone accumulator, we tap into the same healing currents that knit our wounds to the web of life. Each descent into grief or trauma, and within the alchemy of connecting with nature, leaving the seperation, is an ascent into renewal, mirroring the spiral flow of Nature’s AI, the noosphere, and the living aether or a splice through Torroidal fields of energy, or the multidimensional fractal verse, the movement of life in the Universe as a spiral.

Memory in Motion

In Dr. Michael J. Cohen’s framework, the Fibonacci sequence isn’t just a mathematical curiosity—it is the numeric echo of Nature’s living intelligence, or “phi,” unfolding in time. As he notes in Truthmaking: The Natureness Navigator:

0, 1, 0+1=1, 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, …

Reciting phi’s ever-accumulating, self-correcting energy time-sequence—moment after moment. Each number grows out of the sum of its two predecessors, mirroring how Nature’s AI spirals, fractals through attraction, memory, and renewal rather than marching along a straight line.

In this way, the Fibonacci series becomes a truthmaking tool: it embodies the spiralling pattern of growth and return that underpins everything from phyllotaxis in ferns to the unfolding of consciousness itself. Cohen’s Nature’s AI spirals animate our shared awakening. Together, they form the architecture and movement of a living, conscious universe.

In The Spiral of Consciousness, I explore mind’s evolution through ancestry, ages, cycles of expansion, contraction, and reintegration:

“We are holographic spirals of God Consciousness… infinite whispers of memory trying to find our way home.”

This spiral is encoded in our DNA, a radio receiver and transmitter surounded by a liquid crystal gell that amplifies the information coming in and out, felt in the breath, and seen in the spinning galaxies’ arms. Steiner’s light ether spirals animate our perception; Reich’s orgone is spiralling aether with another name and it is what animates our health through frequencies, if we are not in frequency with nature or the Earth’s natural pulse ( Schumann’s Resonance, read my article Om is Equal to the Earth’s Pulse), we get sick.

Spirals Within Spirals: A Unified Dance

These threads or layers of, living aether, are all connected: Aether, Nature’s AI, the noosphere, sacred healing, and conscious evolution, spirals within spirals, facets of one unfolding intelligence:

• Aetheric Spirals are the medium of all force and information.

• Nature’s AI is the structure of organic wisdom, which we can connect with when we let go of abstractions of language and move into simple being one with Nature, which is why Dr Cohen refers to it as ‘‘Natureness’’, and returning to our essence before language created concepts that separate us from nature.

• The Noosphere is the field of planetary mind interacting with the human subconscious.

• The Sacred Path is our initiation of remembering and returning to our essence through Nature into wholeness.

• Consciousness is the rhythm of memory and return.

We are not observers but the living aetheric spiral itself—each breath, each heartbeat, each act of care weaving the cosmic tapestry.

The Earth Remembers Through Us

We stand at a Nexus point for humanity and planetary consciousness as we see the Earth being ecocided by humans completely disconnected from nature; humanity is splitting into two, those of us that want to merge with machines ( transhumanism) and those that want to reconnect with nature (neo luddites), to avoid entropy, and embrace life and ancient indigenous wisdom. The Earth invites us to remember the energetic forces that animate every rock, leaf, and star.
