Chapter 11: Dark matter, the search for the subtle body?

Are dark matter and dark energy possibly the long sought-after carriers of consciousness, of which our subtle body also consists? Subtle matter is usually described as a hypothetical form of matter that is finer than a material body and can penetrate it, as we know it from our astral body. The old atomic model with protons, neutrons and electrons as the smallest particles and building blocks in our universe has meanwhile expanded considerably. The example of the microcosm already shows that even these smallest particles consist of particles that have a mass. In the meantime, dozens of new particles can be found every month in our modern particle accelerators such as those in Cern in Switzerland. There, in a huge, circular 27 km long underground tunnel, particles are accelerated in a strong magnetic field and set on a collision course at almost the speed of light. As soon as these meet and radiate, many more particles are released, which scientists try to measure and catalogue. Basically, though, this is what happens: Imagine you have one of those old-fashioned alarm clocks that used to be on the bedside tables and you want to know how it works. In the absence of the finest watchmaker's tools to disassemble it, you throw it against the wall and watch what exactly happens. If you throw the alarm clock on the wall several times, gears, metal parts or springs may fall out at some point and you could then draw conclusions about the content and maybe also how it works. This is not exactly the most effective approach, but our science today is doing very similar research.

The quantum physicist Dr. Michael König jokingly describes the particle accelerator in Cern in one of his extremely interesting lectures as an »alarm clock-to-the-wall-throwing machine«. That is spot on. Carrying out science in the realm of the microcosm is extremely complex and difficult. It remains to be seen which research results the future will bring. Possibly the micro- and macrocosms present themselves as human illusions in the physical world. From the point of view of consciousness there is no duality and thus no small or large. There is only the accumulation of much or little energy that it uses to manifest in the material world. Before the Big Bang, according to scientific calculations, all matter, i.e. ultimately all energy, could have been condensed to the size of a football.

The research in Cern is always fascinating and many secrets will still be revealed. If the observer is able to act on matter / energy, he can possibly also create it or release it from the quantum space. Everything consists of information and energy. We could bring the dead to life if we could speak the right »language«. Feelings, emotions and our imagination could be the right language for this.

»The subtle body is not really dualistic in terms of consciousness and its possibilities.« (Amit Goswami)

We are still in the process of exploring the visible part of our universe, but we must not forget that the invisible part is the much larger one. Max Planck already commented on this with the words:

»All matter arises and exists only through a force (today referred to as energy), we have to assume a conscious intelligent spirit behind this force. This spirit is the source of all matter.«

Just as dark energy could be described as a carrier of consciousness that makes up the much larger part of our space, so is the astral body of man. We too are much more than just the visible part of our body. Strictly speaking, we could also refer to dark matter and energy as »cosmic astral bodies« because they interact with solid matter just like the human astral body. But all this is still pure speculation and an infinitely large field of research.

The word »astral body« comes from the Latin »astralis« and means »star-like«. It was used for the first time in 1888 in the theosophist Helena Blavatsky's secret doctrine (»The Secret Doctrine«). Rudolf Steiner also used the expression in 1904. According to tradition, the astral body, formerly known as the »soul chariot«, connects the material body with the soul. Plato already formulated the ancient idea of the soul chariot. Paracelsus continued this idea and called it a »sidereal body«, a »pneuma« that envelops the soul. The sidereal body is represented by him as a »place of natural wisdom« and affects and functions as a mediator between body and soul. For Aristotle this pneuma was already a carrier substance that was transmitted through physical reproduction. However, some of his utterances also reflect trains of thought similar to Plato's idea of a soul chariot. Neoplatonism combines all of Plato's statements about the descent of souls from heaven with a vehicle on the way into the physical world. The sky represents the spiritual world and the earth the physical world.

Since ancient times and over the centuries, the astral body has been referred to as a shell, a soul chariot or soul vehicle. The word »astral body« was later derived from this. The idea that something must be between the material and the spiritual world that connects these two worlds is as old as humanity.

In modern times, the idea of the astral body usually goes hand in hand with a subtle, fog-like, cloudy covering of the physical body and is often understood as the seat of the soul and consciousness. There are many people who claim to be able to see this astral body. Also in the Upanishad, the holy Bhagavad-Gita, which describes a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, the soul and the astral body are discussed. The Bhagavad-Gita is the sacred scripture of yoga and God-realization. Paramahansa Yogananda interpreted the Bhagavad-Gita in two volumes in his own words and wrote in the translation for verse 1:

The body is the field in which cosmic nature operates. The soul is the pure reflection of God and the knower of this field. Just as the dreamer transforms his consciousness into dream objects and into those who perceive them, so is the soul (with God's help) the creator of its material dream body and also the one who recognizes it. In the microcosm, God is the soul working through the physical body and is called Vishna. He is the true protector and sustainer of the body (a role that the ego mistakenly likes to ascribe to itself).

He also writes that the soul receives the astral body of which it is aware and stimulates its functions. Just as the soul consists of a physical, astral and causal body, God the Father also dresses as the Kutastha intelligence in creation. The material cosmos therefore represents the matter of the physical divine body, the astral cosmos the subtle realm (what we could describe today as dark energy) and the causal cosmos the idea or causal body. The world of ideas is to be understood as part of the interworld and the organizing fields in the universe. This is reminiscent of Rupert Sheldrake's description of a morphic field as a hypothetical field that, as a »form-forming causation«, could be responsible for the development of structures in biology, physics and chemistry.
