The Equation of Life: Matter vs the Etheric

Every living thing is made up of two parts, matter and the etheric. Matter refers to the physical attributes of any creature whereas the etheric refers to the spirit or intangible attributes of that creature. The human race is a prime example of this phenomenon. This is why if one wants to try and solve the equation of life; one would need to take into account the roles played by both these states of the human condition. Matter is finite whereas the etheric is infinite. The human experience can push one to believe that only the physical part of their being matters, however, we are in an age where the fundamental questions about life and existence have come to the fore. These questions can never be answered one-dimensionally. Hence, going back to the beginning seems like a plausible route to take. Humanity is connected to the entire universe. There are etheric creatures that live in different parts of the universe far beyond what the human eye can see. These etheric creatures have influenced life on earth since the beginning of time. The theory of evolution by Charles Darwin is not limited to life on earth, even the etheric creatures in other parts of the universe evolve and have evolved throughout the ages. However, at some point during their evolution, some etheric creatures stopped evolving and decided to focus on the human condition. These etheric creatures formed the kingdom of matter which has dominated human spirituality and development. To differentiate between the other etheric creatures who continued to evolve, we will call these luciferian etheric creatures simply because they went against the natural way of growth via evolution and decided to have dominion over humanity by offering them wisdom which enabled humanity to develop. This development, however, was limited to matter and thereby also halted the spiritual or etheric development of humanity. Of course, luciferian dominance via the kingdom of matter allowed humanity to fast-track the pace of growth to get humanity to its present condition where technology, money and materialism are the centre of human existence.

Although this fast-paced development is impressive, it seems it may have been at the cost of far greater development with respect to the etheric. The Kingdom of the etheric, that is, the etheric creatures who allowed the natural process of evolution to take place, is in a far advanced state and has probably solved life’s big questions such as eternity, sustainability and justice as a result of the light and wisdom gained over time through evolution. This means humanity needs to move away from the kingdom of matter and cross over to the kingdom of the etheric for greater wisdom and light in answering life’s big questions. Development through the kingdom of matter has left the human race at risk of extinction due to the one-sidedness of matter-specific approaches. Humanity has only been able to reach half of its potential whereas our very existence requires us to reach our full potential to feel as though we have lived purposeful and meaningful lives. Even efforts to circumvent extinction are misdirected due to the influence of matter-specific approaches. These include the exploration of space as a way to colonise other parts of the universe. This undertaking is futile and way off the mark since it is directed by matter-specific approaches. The belief that our technology and knowledge on earth are so advanced to the point where we could colonise the rest of the solar system is flawed. Even if the conditions in other parts of the solar system could house humanity, our matter-specific approaches would fail humanity due to limited wisdom as a result of the stagnant growth of our etheric selves. The etheric creatures who are far developed as a result of the natural process of evolution would deter any efforts to colonise the rest of the solar system. Unfortunately, science is a matter-specific approach and thus cannot answer all the questions regarding human development and sustainability.

Crossing over to the Kingdom of the etheric, which is dominated by true light and wisdom, is not a simple task as it requires changing our entire approach to life. It means redesigning the system that governs humanity and how we connect with the rest of the universe. Most of the approaches that govern human existence currently are based on the kingdom of matter. These approaches have defined our value system and dominate our mental faculties. Change is, however, the definition of our very existence. An opportunity for humanity to evolve since it has reached its full potential in the kingdom of matter. Evolution facilitates growth and development. Unlike other species, our evolution is facilitated by access to greater wisdom and light. The human experience has enabled us to solve this mystery regarding our existence. It is then our opportunity to reach a higher level of our existence by allowing the wisdom and light of the etheric kingdom to dominate the world the same way matter has. Science and spirituality are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Spirituality enables us to answer the deep questions about our being whereas science allows us to understand the physical aspects of our being and surroundings. Using both these tools could allow us to not only survive but answer life’s big questions such as sustainability, justice and eternity. Spirituality or etheric wisdom could be used as a guide in implementing our scientific solutions to life’s problems. Science alone only solves half the problem and sometimes does more harm than good. Science that is informed by true light and wisdom is our best chance at creating a better world. A world in which light shines brighter than darkness.

To illustrate, the average lifespan of a human has decreased from 120 to just below 100. This is informed by empirical evidence rather than actual statistics. This has happened even though the medical field has grown and developed to its present state. This is because medical drugs and medicine, in general, are a matter-specific approach to health and not the only option. Our reliance on medicine alone has not allowed advances in medicine to solve fundamental issues regarding health. Medicine cannot increase our average lifespan back to 120 or higher because it is governed by matter. The focus is on the physical rather than the etheric. The one-sidedness of medicine is best illustrated by how mental health is administered. The reliance on intrusive drugs that alter the physical attributes or even personality of a person is indicative of how dangerous matter-specific approaches can be. Most psychiatric medication facilitates weight gain and changes in body shape. Doctors, however, still administer these drugs to patients without preparing patients for the various side effects these drugs can have on the overall well-being of the individual. Changes in weight and body shape can have immense non-physical effects on an individual to the point where their sense of worth or development is challenged. Psychiatry does not take this into account because its purpose in the kingdom of matter is to discourage spiritual development and enlightenment as a way for the luciferian creatures to maintain dominance over humanity. Access to greater wisdom is not encouraged in the kingdom of matter as it could lead to a revolution. Mental health issues are a result of the dominance of the kingdom of matter and psychiatry uses matter-specific approaches in attempting to solve them. Access to greater wisdom could help society develop a more holistic approach to health to avoid the issues experienced in psychiatry.

Furthermore, in economics, there is an argument regarding why the industrial revolution took place in Britain over any other part of the world. While this is not the dominant argument, it is believed that British people were more advanced or enlightened. This enabled them to innovate and lead the industrial revolution that kick-started the process of growth we see in the rest of the world today. The argument presented in the preceding paragraphs reveals that this is an inaccurate analysis of the matter. The only reason Britain was the fertile ground for this matter-specific development is that they accepted the wisdom and knowledge offered by the luciferian etheric creatures. This led the way for the formation of the kingdom of matter described earlier. In addition, a more careful analysis shows that it is mostly Western societies that are more developed in terms of matter rather than other societies. For instance, Africa is easily the least developed society in the world. While this is usually mentioned in a negative light, it is clear that the reason for this lack of matter-specific development is due to Africa’s refusal to accept the dominance of the kingdom of matter. Africa is rich in its etheric development which makes it fertile ground for evolution through the kingdom of the etheric. Africa’s resistance to the dominance of the kingdom of matter has left it spiritually pure and sacred. This points to the fact that the solutions of the next century will come out of Africa. The reason is simple, the kingdom of matter is close to its obsolescence. Technological progress has reached its full potential. Economic models emphasise the infinity of development through technology, however, the reality is that even technology has a limit. There are diminishing returns to technological progress in the long run. The unfortunate reality is that humanity is now in the long run. More development in technology is now to the detriment of society rather than progress. This is demonstrated by the rise of AI Technology and breaches in cyber-security. This is even more reason for humanity to allow true light and wisdom from the etheric Kingdom to dominate the world.

Growth in the etheric kingdom allows evolution to take place. This brings me to a more personal topic: gender-affirming surgery/therapy. Earlier on in my journey as a trans woman, I was always looking forward to gender-affirming therapy and surgery. It felt as though this was a necessary step in my journey towards acceptance and affirmation. However, after living my truth as a trans woman, I got to the realisation that both hormone replacement therapy and surgery were matter-specific approaches to transness. Just as Elektra from Pose put it: “It’s not that I feel incomplete, I am just inconvenienced.” This was such an eye-opening observation. It allowed me to assess my relationship with hormones and my prospective surgery to the point where I stopped taking my hormones and focused on grooming tools to ‘pass’ more feminine. Of course, not all trans women can do this as our appearances vary. However, there are deeper reasons why simply changing your appearance to affirm your identity is contrary to the natural process of evolution. The dominance of matter has led to increased discrimination and transphobia to the point where gender diverse and trans people unknowingly focus on the physical attributes of their identity rather than their inner selves. I realised that the reason I would ever get surgery is to avoid discrimination or transphobia. I am comfortable in my skin as a woman who differs from cis women. I do not need to look like a cis woman to be comfortable in my womanhood. This epiphany led me to believe that there is probably a more ‘natural’ way to affirm my transness that is not guided by matter-specific approaches. People like Alok Vaid-Menon in the trans community represent this etheric way of life that all of us as humanity should move towards. To focus more on our etheric growth rather than matter. Because, just like the etheric creatures have evolved, we will also evolve into the best version of ourselves through evolution as opposed to matter-specific approaches. The belief that womanhood is achieved through altering one’s appearance is false. Womanhood comes from within, it is not described by physical features. It is defined by who we deeply are on the inside.

Moreover, access to more information should allow us to revise our beliefs, values and systems. Because if we do not allow that natural process of growth to take place, we will become obsolete. Our mandate as a human race is to continuously evolve so that we are always in touch with our true selves. The truth is not static, it is however dynamic due to our ever-changing context. Because once we grow, we gain the ability to refine ourselves, our systems and our context. This is probably our only chance at finally solving the equation of life. To rely more on our etheric growth rather than matter. So that we can gain more wisdom and light which would enable us to navigate the complexity of our existence in every sense of the word.
