The Sigil of the Angel VehuiaH! For those of us who work with phosphenes, the endogenous light of the brain, meditation is not about seeing nothing, but about witnessing the Field of Light stabilize. After decades of practice, we learn that this inner luminosity is not mere visual noise; it is the fundamental signature of … Continue reading The 72 Angels and the Sigils: the Angel VehuiaA

Beyond the Boundary of Academia: Mapping the Dimensions of Trans-Academic Knowledge
Across cultures and centuries, forms of knowing have emerged that do not fit within institutional epistemologies. They are experiential, symbolic, or transformative rather than analytic or instrumental. Wouter J. Hanegraaff famously called this domain rejected knowledge, the “dustbin” of Western intellectual history, populated by the occult, the mystical, and the magical. Yet rejection is only … Continue reading Beyond the Boundary of Academia: Mapping the Dimensions of Trans-Academic Knowledge
Our Brain, Field Dynamics and the Inner Light: new vista’s!
Recent research proposes that consciousness may arise not from neurons firing, but from rhythmic waves resonating together to form stable patterns, like music made of light.In the ancient Yoga of the Inner Light, this same resonance is experienced directly as phosphenes: luminous fields appearing behind closed eyes when awareness turns inward. When we close our … Continue reading Our Brain, Field Dynamics and the Inner Light: new vista’s!
Field Dynamics and Inner Light
The hidden geometry of consciousness revealed through the Yoga of the Inner Light I have always been fascinated by what happens behind closed eyes. That quiet, pulsing luminosity, the faint field of shifting light that appears when the mind grows still. For most people, it is just a background shimmer, dismissed as visual noise. But … Continue reading Field Dynamics and Inner Light
The Inner Pulse of Consciousness: Rediscovering the Yoga of the Inner Body
Every contemplative tradition recognizes powerful inner dimensions we can access through focused practice. We often hear about the Yoga of Inner Light (phosphenes, visual radiance) and the Yoga of Inner Sound (subtle, spontaneous tones). But there is a third, forgotten pathway, the most fundamental and physical of all: The Yoga of the Inner Body. This … Continue reading The Inner Pulse of Consciousness: Rediscovering the Yoga of the Inner Body
Phosphenes & the Ouroboros: How the Brain’s Inner Light Turns Self-Reference into Sacred Vision
Why our inner “visual grammar” and the loop of self-reference make the sense of the sacred both repeatable and deeply personal, and how studying those loops can bridge neuroscience, religion and art. Think of that famous sentence-paradox, “This sentence is not true.” It folds language into itself and produces a tiny electric shock: meaning that … Continue reading Phosphenes & the Ouroboros: How the Brain’s Inner Light Turns Self-Reference into Sacred Vision
Najm al-Dīn Kubrā and the Sufi Map of Inner Light
In the history of mysticism, few figures described the inner lights of contemplation with as much clarity and precision as Najm al-Dīn Kubrā (1145–1221), the great Sufi master from Khwarezm and founder of the Kubrawiyya order. His writings offer one of the earliest and most systematic phenomenologies of phosphenes: the spontaneous lights that appear behind … Continue reading Najm al-Dīn Kubrā and the Sufi Map of Inner Light
The Vision Taxonomy of Dr. Rouhier, in his classic work on mescaline intoxication
The French physician Rouhier, in his classic work on mescaline intoxication, attempted to classify the types of visions experienced under its influence. Importantly, he stressed that these types are not sequential stages (like a ladder of progression) but rather modes of experience that often overlap. In most mescaline states, one type tends to dominate, while … Continue reading The Vision Taxonomy of Dr. Rouhier, in his classic work on mescaline intoxication
When Sound Becomes Light: Synaesthesia, Mescaline, and the Phosphene Connection
Among the many mysteries of human perception, synaesthesia is quite interesting. Crossing of the senses where sound becomes colour, where touch radiates as light, or where vision itself resonates like a musical chord. In early mescaline research, such synaesthetic states were already frequently documented. Investigators noticed that the excitation of one sensory organ would spill … Continue reading When Sound Becomes Light: Synaesthesia, Mescaline, and the Phosphene Connection
