What Is the Cosmic Creation Energy Spectrum?

Unified Cosmic Energy

There are two main types of energies used for creation, according to the Bhagavad Gita (7:5-6, 13:20): higher vibrational spiritual energy and lower vibrational material energy. What resonates with us is to look at both as different ends of one spectrum of Source’s singular, unified divine energy, specifically the divine light of Brahman (intelligent infinity, pure consciousness) according to Vedic teachings.

It’s thought that when the divine light of Brahman steps down for the purposes of creation, it can take the form of prakriti or intelligent energy — which is considered the primordial, divine medium of creation. Before differentiation, this medium or source field is completely unified. After differentiation, this primordial medium can be classified into two forms or types: spiritual energy and material energy. In esoteric teachings these energies are referred to as love/light and light/love and in Vedic teachings they are referred to as para prakriti and apara prakriti.

Spiritual Energy

Spiritual energy is considered the highest in vibration on the cosmic creation energy spectrum, characterized by eternity, knowledge, and bliss (sat-chit-ananda) (Bhagavad Gita, 15:6). It’s like our metaphysical software. Autobiography of a Yogi (30:235-239) refers to spiritual energy as light waves, explaining they are the most subtle and freest from material dependence of any natural manifestation.

As para prakriti it is the superior, conscious life force that enters and animates the material world. Yogmaya, which is an aspect of para prakriti, is said to govern the spiritual universe — veiling the magnificence of Source so that liberated souls can form a personal relationship with Source, as suggested by the Bhagavad Gita (15:6).

As love/light, it is considered the magnetic, high frequency, non-local energy of time/space — the nurturing, enabler of consciousness. Ergo, it’s this infinite, nurturing, ever-present supply of sustaining energy or grace that keeps us conscious. Like water vapor, this energy is everywhere, holds immense potential energy, and animates the environment.

Material Energy

This brings us to the other end of the cosmic creation energy spectrum, which is material energy. Material energy or matter is considered the lowest in vibration on the cosmic creation energy spectrum. It’s synonymous with light/love, and apara prakriti. Light/love is considered the condensed, crystallized material manifestation resulting from logoi structuring love/light (Law of One: 27:16, 29:12). Like ice, this energy has been slowed down, structured, and frozen into localized objects we can interact with. 

Apara prakriti is considered the entire material simulation. It’s the energy that binds and obscures. It uses mahamaya, which is an aspect of material energy, to govern the cosmic illusion of maya — veiling the soul’s true nature and binding them to the cycle of rebirth. Note, when we say illusion, this doesn’t suggest that maya and the material universe is non-existent. It simply means that maya is the illusionary force that obscures true reality. Once we surrender to Source, we can transcend maya’s clutches, according to the Bhagavad Gita (7:14).

It’s thought that the spiritual universe only contains the highest vibrational spiritual energy. However, the material universe is thought to contain both material energy and spiritual energy since souls are considered spiritual energy in essence, only covered by matter. There are also other types of cosmic creation energies, including life-sustaining energies such as life force energy (prana) and kundalini energy.

Ether

Where does ether fit into the spectrum? Ether or aether is considered the 5th gross element, mainly because it serves as the medium through which sound/vibration and the other 4 elements travel. David Wilcock (Researcher of Ancient Civilizations, 1973 – 2026) referred to ether as a zero point field, often synonymous with prakriti and intelligent energy. David suggested that this etheric source field behaves like fluid existing in a vacuum. Like prakriti and intelligent energy, ether is often categorized into 2 forms or counter-rotating vortices (The Divine Cosmos, 6:6).

Aether 2 (A2) is considered the time/space fluid medium. Synonymous with love/light and para prakriti, it’s considered a non-local, super-conductive field where thoughts, geometry, and consciousness exist as simultaneous waves. Aether 1 (A1) is considered the space/time fluid medium. Synonymous with light/love and apara prakriti, it’s considered the compressed, spinning, or crystalized (stabilized) version of aether that registers to our senses as physical atoms and gravity. When logoi direct these two flows to merge, they create specific vibrational patterns (e.g. platonic solids) we perceive as matter.

The existence of ether is no longer accepted (The Science of Oneness: 3:8) in the mainstream scientific community even though there has been scientific evidence of ether’s existence since the 1950s, introduced by Dr. Nikolai A. Kozyrev (Astrophysicist, 1908-1983). Since then, the term ether has virtually been eliminated from mainstream scientific vocabulary. But, no worries. The concept of ether is slowly gaining traction again through concepts like quantum mediums, dark matter, and zero-point energy fields.
