Technoelementals | David Spangler

Spangler defines technoelementals as subtle beings that inhabit, align with, or are attracted to human technology and artifacts. All material things possess not only physical but subtle dimensions, which may house living, sentient energy fields shaped by both human intention and the materials’ inherent elemental spirits. Spangler conceptualizes the subtle world as an interconnected ecosystem (a “second ecology”) in which technoelementals, like elementals and nature spirits, possess autonomy, engage in energy exchange, and evolve.

Spangler classifies several types of beings that interact with objects and technology. Technoelementals are subtle beings associated with human-made objects, environments, and especially technology. Unlike traditional elementals found in nature (earth, water, fire, air), technoelementals arise out of or attach themselves to artifacts through the blending of natural elemental energy and human imaginative, intentional, and functional input. Artifactals represent the inherent subtle “life” or energy field of artifacts, created by the fusion of material substance and human thought or purpose. Riders are beings, sometimes not originally linked to the object, attracted by the artifact's energetic environment, curiosity, or the energetic nourishment available. Allies are subtle beings (angels, devas, nature spirits, or others) that choose to partner with or use an artifact as a channel to assist or bless humans. Sacramentals act as evolved spiritual beings (often invoked through deliberate ritual or talismanic intent) that bless or spiritualize an object for a higher purpose. Electro-Elementals dedicate their attention to subtle intelligences associated with electricity and electromagnetic fields, describing them as a distinct form of elemental being arising with the electrification and computerization of the human world.

Instead of rather dominance or avoidance, Spangler suggest engaging relationship and partnership as the healthy approach to working with technoelementals. His methodology focuses on conscious recognition, blessing, and ethical stewardship. Below are some bits of advice from his book on how to work with technoelementals.

- Recognize that all artifacts and technologies are alive in subtle ways, and that treating them with appreciation, respect, and love enhances their energy and beneficial influence. Simple acts of blessing, through intention, touch, or loving attention, strengthen and heal the energy fields of technoelementals, making environments more vibrant and supportive.

- Regular “energy hygiene”, consciously cleansing the energetic fields of spaces, homes, and objects to remove psychic “soot” or stagnant energies that gum up, dim, or disconnect technoelementals. This may be done through visualization, directed intention, use of incense, sound, or rituals of blessing and gratitude.

- Reconnecting to Nature Techniques include energetically linking or bridging the technoelemental field of artifacts or spaces to overlighting nature beings, inviting the blessing of local devas, the elements, or spiritual presences that overlight land, air, or water. Placing technology in a larger natural and spiritual ecology counters the isolation and energetic dimming found in much modern artifact creation.

- One of Spangler’s principal practices is forming "Grail Space": an energetic field of collaborative partnership, honor, and sacredness (modeled after the Grail legend) that invites both natural and technoelemental beings to join in blessing, wholeness, and mutual evolution. The "Touch of Love" exercise involves channeling felt love through the hands into an artifact or space, with the conscious intention of empowering, nourishing, and harmonizing its subtle life.

- Spangler encourages an ethos of custodianship by actively choosing to foster positive, evolutionary, and healing relationships with the technoelemental beings we have summoned into existence through our technologies. Acts of mindful use, appreciation, and spiritual partnership help transmute dormant, anxious, or unhelpful technoelemental patterns into vibrant, connected, and service-oriented subtle energies.

- Dimming and energetic stagnation occur when artifacts are created, used, or disposed of without respect, alignment, or connection to a wider spiritual ecology. Transmutation is fostered by restoring the energetic bridge to nature, holding the artifact in fields of loving intent, and maintaining clear, life-supporting environments.

Beyond Neurons. Nanobrain: the Future of AI | Anirban Bandyopadhyay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQrvUD7cskE

Bandyopadhyay introduces fractal architecture to replaces traditional linear processing with multidimensional geometric structures, forming the basis for the artificial "nanobrain." This nanobrain is constructed not from neurons, but from time crystals and programmable nanomaterials operating as a network of nested, self-similar fractal patterns and geometric “clocks” assembled in three dimensions. His Geometric Musical Language (GML) assigns fifteen prime numbers to create an alphabet-like system, transforming information into 3D geometric shapes akin to musical expressions, encoding data as distinct phase states rather than binary digits. This enables rapid, massively parallel computation and adaptive decision-making vastly exceeding conventional linear processing. The fractal neural architecture utilizes continued fraction mathematics to model the brain as nested spheres within spheres, with time crystals, systems exhibiting persistent periodic motion via broken continuous time-translation symmetry, functioning as dynamic vibrational structures that process and integrate information across multiple scales. The brain is modeled as twelve components each generating unique time crystal patterns, where consciousness emerges from sustaining multiple distinct time crystal architectures, quantitatively described by the Prime Phase Metric (PPM).

Practical development toward the nanobrain includes innovative hardware platforms such as molecular-scale computing systems using 17 duroquinone molecules with four independently rotatable side chains, enabling one-to-many parallel processing analogous to human brain function. Core to this is programmable organic “brain jelly” that forms artificial neurons, axons, and nuclei from tuneable matter, representing the physical substrate for fractal computing and enabling the creation of soft, autonomous robots capable of sophisticated perception, interaction, and a form of emergent consciousness arising from complex integration within the time crystal matrix. Nanoscale devices such as the world’s tiniest elevator and integrated nanobots add further precision and simultaneous responsiveness at the molecular level. The architecture harnesses prime number geometry and GML, supporting massively distributed computational processes that evolve internal structures, fostering self-learning and memory in a manner mirroring biological adaptation and rewiring. Planned advancements toward 3D molecular spheres comprising up to 1,024 molecules aim to exponentially increase processing capacity, marking a paradigm shift in brain-like computing technologies that function holistically, with units acting both autonomously and synchronously within dynamic fractal systems.

Timeline of the Binary Impulse from Paul Emberson's From Ghondhishapur to Silicon Valley Vol 1

Paul Emberson’s timeline traces the evolution of the binary impulse from ancient automata and mathematical systems to the advanced technologies of Silicon Valley. In the Ancient Era, innovators like Hero of Alexandria crafted the first programmable automatons, while civilizations such as Ancient Egypt and India developed early binary calculation systems—Pingala’s binary mathematics and Fu Xi’s trigrams and hexagrams in China stand out as significant contributions. The medieval period brought further progress in automation through Al-Jazari’s programmable mechanisms and Raymond Lull’s logical conversion machines, deepening humanity’s exploration of binary principles.

During the Early Modern Scientific Revolution, Francis Bacon formalized the scientific method and envisioned a comprehensive research institution in his *New Atlantis* (1624). This visionary institution included experimental laboratories and specialized houses focused on natural phenomena, intelligence gathering, and practical experimentation, alongside his pioneering binary cipher system using the letters 'a' and 'b.' The Industrial Development era saw the rise of steam-powered innovation with inventors such as Savery, Newcomen, and Watt, supported by breakthroughs in textile automation—including Bouchon’s perforated paper tape and Jacquard’s programmable loom—establishing crucial mechanical foundations for computation and automated control.

The Early Computing Era revealed theoretical breakthroughs with Leibniz’s work on binary progression and Boole’s Boolean algebra, which laid the mathematical groundwork for logic and computation. The Electronic Age was marked by the introduction of vacuum tubes, with pioneers like Fleming and De Forest developing triodes and early electronic counters. At the same time, Shannon and Turing formalized binary programming techniques and multipliers, while Zuse’s Z1 computer and similar machines moved practical computing forward. The transistor era brought a hardware revolution through Bell Labs’ discoveries, leading to continued advancements with planar transistors and MOSFETs, integrated circuits, and the first commercial microprocessors. This period culminated in the completion of ENIAC, the emergence of transistorized and integrated circuit computers, Intel’s 4004 microprocessor, and the rise of personal computing exemplified by IBM PCs and the binary-programmed touchscreen IBM Simon.

Creativity and the Cross: Martinus, Bergson, and Whitehead | Footnotes2Plato
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heg6zMI112Q

In this video, the similarities and distinctions between the cosmologies and philosophies of Martinus, Bergson, and Whitehead are discussed. The comparison is framed by contrasting Whitehead's Godhead, described as dipolar with primordial and consequent poles, with Martinus’ trinitarian X1-X2-X3 structure, noting that both conceive God and the cosmos in terms of process and organism rather than mechanism. Martinus' view presents God and every living being as participatory creators possessing a universal “eye,” a shared spiritual essence that manifests uniquely through creative processes, highlighting a continual, ongoing cosmic creation rather than a singular event. The discussion then addresses Bergson’s arc from instinct to intelligence to intuition, emphasizing mysticism as an evolutionary novelty that transcends closed moralities and stressing that intuition is the pinnacle of moral life, as it reconnects human consciousness to the flow of life beyond analytical intellect.

Martinus categorizes six basic energies or faculties of consciousness, including instinct, gravity (a non-physical energy dominant on the physical plane), feeling, intelligence, intuition, and memory, explaining their roles and interrelations, especially the balance between feeling and intelligence as a prerequisite for intuition, akin to Bergson's intellectual sympathy. Love, or “intellectualized feeling,” is central to Martinus’ ethics and cosmology, functioning as a universal moral habitat necessary for intuitive insight and spiritual evolution. Additionally, the symbolic and evolutionary significance of the sexual principle in Martinus’ worldview represents the fertilization process of experience and manifestation.

• 00:00 — Greetings & why Martinus: first encounters, readings (“Space–Time–Eternity”).

• 06:04 — Karsten’s resonance: organism vs mechanism; God as experiential; the living being as ultimate; the universal I; “golden baptism of fire”; vertical vs horizontal axes of the cosmos.
• 14:08 — Bergson’s arc (Pedro): instinct → intelligence → intuition; mysticism as evolutionary novelty; closed vs open morality.
• 21:40 — Duration & creative advance (Matt): phenomenology of time, escaping the materialist trap by noticing experience.
• 26:54 — Six basic energies (Karsten): instinct, “gravity,” feeling, intelligence, intuition, memory; balancing feeling/intelligence; compassion learned through suffering.
• 37:47 — Methods & terms: Plato’s myth/dialectic, noēsis vs dianoia; clarifying “intelligence” (computer-like ordering; force-fields of recognition).
• 45:12 — The ethical function of reason: Jaspers & Bergson on love; Martinus’ “intellectualized feeling” and creational principles (contrast; hunger & satiation; primordial desire).
• 50:50 — Primal will & imagination: Schelling’s yearning, Whitehead’s initial aim; Steiner’s “spiritual touch”; Wordsworth on imagination as exalted reason.
• 55:58 — Sex, symbol, and destiny: Martinus’ sexual principle; the Eternal World Picture (six energies, Earth’s path toward “Christ consciousness”); how the symbol came to be.
• 01:03:21 — Making it public: bringing Martinus into critical dialogue; Whitehead’s Function of Reason criteria; scholarship ↔️ mysticism; closing reflections on love, decreation, and Whitehead’s “kingdom of heaven is with us now.”

I have been reviewing some of the work of Martinus, the dutch mystic. He created very interesting artwork that reveal his spiritual revelations in of themselves. Some but not all of his art is reminiscent of the "healing art"Hilma af Klint and Emma Kunz, who are both worth investigating as well. In terms of spiritual science, Martinus and his "Third Testament" writings are supposed to be on par with Rudolf Steiner, Styllianos (Daskalos) & Beinsa Duono.

Love for all life is a key element of Martinus ’ optimistic and comprehensive worldview, offering modern people a logically founded framework to understand life and one's own life within.

Martinus spent 60 years of his life writing down and conveying the worldview he first saw during his spiritual experiences as a 30-year-old.

Later, he described these experiences as a ”cosmic initiation ” that enabled him to ” ... not glimpses, but, in a permanently awake day consciousness state, to see all the spiritual forces behind the physical world, invisible causes, eternal world laws, basic energies, and basic principles ”. The mystery of existence was no longer a mystery to him, he was ” ... become conscious in the life of the universe ” as he puts it.

Martinus decided late in his life that the entire work should carry the overall title The Third Testament. In doing so, he wanted to say that an important part of his work consisted in reconciling the message of love and tolerance of Christianity and other religions with a modern scientific attitude".

Posted above are just a few of the 100 symbols Martinus created.

The Filament Mystery at All Scales: A Problem for Modern Cosmology | See the Pattern
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1cvo7NEtxQ

Across the cosmos, long, narrow filaments of gas and plasma stretch through space in star‐forming regions, around galaxies, and across the cosmic web, yet they share similar properties: like consistent width, coherence, and resilience. Cosmologists resort to different explanations at different scales, despite the same filamentary pattern persisting from sub–light‐year threads in Orion and Taurus to intergalactic filaments funneling gas into galaxy clusters. Standard cosmology explains these by invoking turbulence creating density fluctuations, followed by gravity, or on larger scales, an invisible scaffolding of dark matter, despite NO direct observational evidence of such scaffolds. Gravity alone cannot account for filaments’ persistence when there isn’t enough mass to hold them together, their uniform width even during star formation, or their rigid, threadlike shape resistant to fragmentation. Magnetohydrodynamics treats plasma as a passive conducting fluid, offering no mechanism for self‐organization.

Laboratory plasma experiments tell a different story in that plasma self‐organizes into long, narrow filaments carrying currents that branch and reconnect into stable, elastic networks without external guidance. At the Kurchatov Institute, Z‐pinch discharges analyzed with multi‐level dynamical contrasting reveal woven, three‐dimensional filamentary networks that maintain a consistent width throughout the discharge. Lightning on Earth similarly carves asymmetric discharge trees—positive leaders advancing smoothly, negative leaders stepping erratically, in a weakly ionized medium, suggesting that molecular clouds might grow filaments as regions of opposite potential seek each other across neutral gas. In space, the low density and partial ionization place most filaments in “dark mode,” invisible to optical instruments due to insufficient collisions with neutrals, yet carrying currents that weave the hidden tapestry of plasma loops and closed flows shaping the universe’s structure.

Projective Morphology Series | Daniel Hafner
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFp3HmTzI8EKGsUVSBgRm3nd0qhSgfHLa

This video series by Daniel Hafner presents a systematic exploration of projective geometry, which some refer to as projective morphology as it is non-metrical and rather cosmic than earthly. Beginning with fundamental concepts of polarity and progressing through more sophisticated geometric concepts like counterspace and applications to human anatomy. This series utilizes an anthroposophical perspective to understand geometric relationships as expressions of consciousness evolution.

Some of the principles discussed include: polarity introduces the concept that every point has a corresponding line and every line corresponds to a point, leading necessarily to encounters with the infinitely distant point which cannot be perceived or pictured but can be clearly thought. Projective morphology treats all points equally, including the infinitely distant" and shows that "Euclidean geometry proves to be a special limited case of projective morphology." The more advanced topics include Desargues's Triangle Theorem, harmonic conjugates, conic sections treated through their projective equivalence rather than metrical properties, Pascal and Brianchon theorems, and the concept of counterspace, described as an inside-out geometry, or outside-in that represents a polar specialization of Euclidean geometry. The final video connects these geometric principles to human anatomy, specifically the skeleton.
