The 5 Elements as the 15 Layers of Reality

Chapter 1 explained that reality is divided into the Physical and Metaphysical Domains.

We defined reality as the metaphysical structure that forms from the waves emanated by nodes or vortices on each other. This is similar to an entity-relationship diagram.

This means that perception is the basis of reality. Since our perceptions are either physical or metaphysical, then there can be both physical and metaphysical reality.

Having only 2 kinds of reality accounts for all phenomena whether physical of metaphysical. But it does not explain the details or dynamics behind those phenomena.

To get more accuracy with minimum complexity, we subdivide reality into 5 Elements as what was done by the ancient Greeks, Indians, and Chinese.

This is like subdividing a meter-reality-ruler into centimeters so that the finer details of reality can be accounted for.

These Elements are further subdivided into Subelements to get an even more detailed view.

• This is like subdividing centimeters into millimeters.

For example, the Fire Element (Electromagnetism) is divided into:

• the light subelement to explain colors
• the heat subelement to explain heat
• the virtual photon subelement to explain magnetism

Currently, Modern Physics knows only 3 of these 5 Elements as the Strong, Weak, and Electromagnetic Forces.

This is because physicists impose a limitation on themselves to ignore or avoid metaphysical perceptions like ideas, feelings, and spirits. This in turn is because their minds favor the material and crude perceptions as being universal or common to all.

Layers with a Hierarchy

Nowadays, people associate the word “elements” with the chemical elements in the periodic table.

This is why we will use the word “layer” instead of elements for the 5 factors or components of Nature.

An analogy is a Photoshop image which is made up layers that are on top of each other that creates a full picture.

The layers in Photoshop have a hierarchy where one layer is on top of, or covers the ones below it.

Similarly, the 5 layers of Existence have a hierarchy wherein the highest aethereal layer covers all. This makes matter the most inferior layer.

For example, Modern Physics tells us that:

• gravity can affect light, but light cannot affect gravity
• electromagnetism can affect iron, but ordinary iron does not exert electromagnetism
• a mass of iron can exert a small amount of gravity, but not enough to affect light

This exposes a natural hierarchy, wherein:

• gravity is superior to light (electromagnetism)
• electromagnetism is superior to matter (strong force)
• dark energy as the atomic space (which we call the aetherspace) is superior to gravity

The 5 Main Mental Layers

The higher and lower minds are part of the main mental layers that are above the physical ones.

We can discard the names of Air, Fire, Water, Earth in the metaphysical domain as those names denote physical phenomena.

Instead, we use the abstract descriptive names as follows:

The 5 Biophysical Layers

Below the aethereal layers are the 5 Biophysical layers which are in-between the metaphysical and physical. These keep the ancient Greek names of Aether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth since they were used in ancient medicine which Superphysics can connect to.
