Acupuncture Meridians and the Cosmic Spider Web
In 1999 computer simulations of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters by Klaus Dolag revealed that galaxy clusters are embedded in a large-scale spider-web-like structure of filaments. Extensive galaxy surveys also show that structures resembling sheets and filaments characterize the distribution of galaxies. Consistent with the simulations, this distribution resembles a complicated spider’s web several hundred mega parsecs in diameter. According to Nobel laureate, Hans Alfvén, space is filled with a network of currents which transfer energy and momentum over large distances. Hot plasma streams along such filamentary currents.
Now, astronomers have actually detected a "universal web". Vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been "seen". Astronomers using NASA's X-ray satellite observatory, Chandra, "viewed" the filaments stretching for millions of light years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. They calculate that the filaments contain five times more mass than all the stars in the universe!
Invisible Filaments in Space
Astronomers say that the filamentary structures are so hot that it would generally be invisible to optical, infrared, and radio telescopes. These invisible filaments are detected only because higher density ordinary matter tends to accumulate and condense in them - generating radiation which can be measured by scientists to confirm their existence in intergalactic space.
Being invisible, they are by definition components of "dark matter and energy". Dark matter and energy are invisible matter and energy that make up more than 99% of our universe – according to scientists. Studies show that both ordinary and invisible dark matter work in concert to build filaments in space, with dense junctions where galaxies cluster. The resulting structure looks something like a spider web, dappled with water droplets.
The filaments betray the presence of invisible dark matter because gas at millions of degrees centigrade found within these filaments has a natural tendency to spread. To find it confined into filaments means that a very strong gravitational field must be pulling it into place and only dark matter can do this – according to the scientists.
Invisible Filaments in the Subtle Body
In 1904 metaphysicist Annie Besant reported that "During human antenatal life a single thread weaves a network, a shimmering web of inconceivable fineness and delicate beauty, with minute meshes. Within the meshes of this web the coarser particles of the bodies are built together. During physical life, prana [which is a plasma of charged super particles according to plasma metaphysics] courses along the branches and meshes." This web interpenetrating the human fetus certainly has features which resemble the cosmic spider web – with currents of charged prana (or qi particles) coursing through its ‘threads’ and denser material accumulating (i.e. "coarser particles") on it.
It is a well accepted fact in metaphysics that there are filaments within our subtle magma bodies, which have been referred to as "meridians", "nadis" and "channels" – in the Chinese, Indian and Tibetan literature, respectively. In Taoist and Qigong literature, they are also referred to as "circuits" and "orbits". For example, Qigong practitioners may speak of microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits. The microcosmic orbit is really the main meridian through which particles are accelerated in the relevant practices to bring energy to the rest of the subtle body.
According to plasma metaphysics, these meridians are magnetic lines of force within the subtle magnetic plasma (or magma) bodies. The currents flowing through them are "Birkeland currents", i.e. currents in which charged particles flow through magnetic field lines. The large scale structure of the universe, with a web of filaments punctuated with rotating galaxies, undoubtedly bears a strong resemblance to the web of acupuncture meridians or nadis punctuated with rotating chakras (or vortexes) and acupoints that is found in the etheric component of the physical body.
"I envisioned hundreds of little DC [direct current] generators like dark stars sending their electricity along the meridians, an interior galaxy that the Chinese had somehow found and explored by trial and error over two thousand years ago. It was obvious that the acupuncture charts had an objective basis in reality. Our readings indicated that these meridians were conducting current." - Robert Becker, The Body Electric
The meridian system, chartered by Chinese acupuncture, can be considered the arterial system of what metaphysicists would describe as the "lower physical-etheric body" (which is not separable from the physical-biomolecular body). These meridian pathways are ordinarily invisible to the biological eyes – just like the invisible cosmic filaments. Just like cosmic filaments, these invisible meridians can be detected when they generate radiation.
French researcher Pierre de Vernejoul injected a radioactive substance into the acupoints of patients and measured the radiation using a special camera. He found that the substance migrated along classical Chinese acupuncture meridian pathways. Other injections made by Vernejoul into random points of the body and into veins and lymphatic channels were unable to demonstrate similar results, suggesting that the meridian system is a unique and separate network of pathways in the body. Further experiments showed that terminating a meridian that related to the liver resulted in a rapid degeneration of liver tissue. Without energy supply from the lower physical-etheric body via the meridians; tissues, organs and cells of the physical-biomolecular body do not appear to function properly.
The Universal and Human Physical-Etheric Bodies
The invisible cosmic web of filaments together with the dark matter that shapes them is in fact embedded in the lowest energy physical-etheric body of our universe. When we look out from Earth what we are seeing is the physical-dense universe, shaped by the lower physical-etheric body of the universe. Astronomers say that the invisible filaments in space are detected only because higher density matter tends to accumulate and condense in these filaments. Similarly, the invisible meridians in the subtle body can only be detected because of radiation from other substances that are channeled through them.
Plasma naturally forms filaments in response to electric and magnetic fields within the subtle body (which according to plasma metaphysics is composed of dark matter). Charged particles are guided within these filaments by the magnetic fields and accelerated by the electric fields – generating currents – as observed by Robert Becker.
Just as the lower physical-etheric body of the universe generates a web of filamentary currents (or filaments) that plays an important part in the large scale structure of the universe, the lower physical-etheric body of the human body generates a web of filamentary currents (or meridians) that is instrumental in developing the physical-biomolecular body of a human being. Of course, the Chinese already knew this – they have been exploring these filaments for more than three thousand years!

Acupuncture Meridians and the Terrestrial Spider Web
Invisible Filaments and Vortexes in Space
In the author's article Acupuncture Meridians and the Cosmic Spider Web it was noted that astronomers have actually detected a "universal web". Vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been "seen". Astronomers using NASA's X-ray satellite observatory, Chandra, "viewed" the filaments stretching for millions of light years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. Astronomers say that the filamentary structures are so hot that it would generally be invisible to optical, infrared, and radio telescopes. These filaments connect rotating galaxies and form circuits with currents flowing through them. Being invisible, they are by definition components of "dark matter and energy". They can only be detected indirectly by radiation from matter that condenses around them.
Invisible Filaments and Vortexes within Subtle Bodies
Just as the universe generates a web of filamentary currents (or filaments) that plays an important part in the large scale structure of the universe, the subtle body of a human being generates a web of filamentary currents – which has been identified as a web of (acupuncture) "meridians" by the Chinese and "nadis" by the Indians. These currents are more formally identified in plasma metaphysics as "Birkeland currents" i.e. currents that form when charged particles course through magnetic field lines. These meridians are invisible and form circuits with currents flowing through them. Nevertheless, they have been detected indirectly by radiation from matter that was injected into them. The large scale structure of the universe, with a web of filaments punctuated with rotating galaxies, undoubtedly bears a strong resemblance to the web of acupuncture meridians or nadis punctuated with rotating chakras (or vortexes) and acupoints that is found in the etheric components of the physical body.
Earth's Unexplained Electromagnetic Field
Blake Levitt, in his book, Electromagnetic Fields, notes that the natural background voltage increases with altitude. Between the lowest layers of the ionosphere and the Earth’s surface, there are about 360,000 volts; from the top of the Empire State Building to the sidewalks at its base, there are approximately 40,000 volts; and between the head of a six-foot man and the sidewalk, approximately 200 volts. At the Earth’s surface, the voltage is approximately 100. This sounds alarming, but in fact hardly any shock potential exists because there is (apparently) no current; it appears to be just background voltage and static DC fields. Scientists know very little about this huge reservoir of natural power — how it functions or what governs it. Just like the pattern of voltage gradients over the biomolecular body studied by Robert Becker, Harold Burr and others, the pattern of voltage gradients over our planet is difficult to explain — based on current scientific theories.
Perhaps, just like us, the Earth has a subtle electromagnetic body – often referred to by metaphysicists as the "physical-etheric" body. It can also be identified with Earth's dark matter halo – as described in the author's article Earth's Dark Matter Halo. According to plasma metaphysics, both subtle bodies and Earth's dark matter halo is composed of a magnetic plasma of super (i.e. supersymmetric) particles.
Earth's 3d-Double
There are two physical-etheric planes and bodies. The lower (energy) physical-etheric plane is an extension of our home universe – it is not actually a separate universe. The higher (energy) physical-etheric universe is a separate universe – although it has the same spacetime signature as our home universe. As the name implies, it is a physical universe — and has 3 space dimensions and 1 time dimension just like its physical-dense counterpart. However, it has a higher energy level, reversed charge and reversed parity (i.e. it is spatially reversed – being a "right-handed" universe as opposed to our "left-handed" universe). Matter and force particles in our universe are reflected as (more massive) force and matter particles, respectively, in the higher energy 3d-Double universe.
In other words, Earth's 3d-Double is like a mirror-image of the physical-dense Earth that is ordinarily visible to us. The spatial relationship between the two 'Earths' can be explained through an analogy: Imagine a figure on the left page of a book and its mirror image on the right page; then fold the two pages so that they come close to each other. Under M Theory, the 3d-Double universe could be classified as a "3-brane" universe which is "less than a millimeter away from our home brane." In this case, the analogy would be of two flat branes folded over each other and less than a millimeter apart.
The Earth’s 3d-Double probably has a "tear-drop" shape (like the physical-dense Earth’s magnetosphere) due to the solar wind from the physical-etheric Sun. It can be considered a planet (in its own right) in a physical 3-brane, which shares the same gravitational field as the physical-dense Earth. Although co-rotating with the physical-dense Earth, being larger, it possesses a rotational speed which is somewhat slower. Hence, a day in Earth's 3d-Double would be slightly longer than a day in the physical-dense Earth (assuming it is measured at the same geometrical point on the two near-spheres).
Invisible Filaments and Vortexes on Earth
Shells, electrified sheaths and filamentary currents are signature structures of magnetic plasma. Filamentary currents are present not only in space but in our subtle bodies and also within and enveloping both the lower and higher physical-etheric components of the Earth. These filaments are what have been called "ley lines", "dragon lines" or simply "energy lines" which are alluded to in Chinese Feng-Shui studies and elsewhere (for example in the practice called "Earth acupuncture").
The terrestrial Birkeland currents (in the lower physical-etheric plane) that circle the Earth are invisible from its surface, with the exception of auroral discharges. These currents originate far from Earth and they flow into the upper polar atmosphere and out of it along magnetic field lines of the Earth. The currents from space that flow through the polar regions via the auroras continue into the Earth's magnetic field lines to cover the Earth with weak Birkeland currents. These Birkeland currents are the ley lines of the lower physical etheric plane in the metaphysical literature. There are also ley lines associated with the higher physical-etheric body or Earth's 3d-Double. As explained in the author's book Our Invisible Bodies, 2006, subtle bodies, including orbs (which evidence the nuclei associated with subtle bodies), travel along Birkeland currents by redistributing charges on their bodies. Ley lines interpenetrate the Earth (like Earth's magnetic field lines) – they do not necessarily follow the contour of the surface of the Earth. The structure of filaments and vortexes has been characterized very often as a spider's web.
Native American peoples have referred to the network of currents on Earth as the "Spider Woman's Web". Francis Hitching described ley lines as "the radial threads on a spider's web." According to Tom Graves, the lines form the "focal points in a vast multilayered cobweb somewhat reminiscent of a micrograph of nerve cells and their ganglia" and are "the circulation and nervous system of the body of Earth." Some consider Earth as a living being; and like human beings the Earth has meridians (filaments) and chakras (vortexes).
When the ley lines (or filaments) cross they "pinch", collapsing to form nodes with intense magnetic fields, which give rise to vortexes (or chakras) within our planet as charged super particles (such as qi, prana and kundalini) rush in using helical or spiral paths. Depending on the direction of spin, vortexes can either absorb or emit energy.
Vortexes which emit energy are probably the ones that have been identified as "holy" or "sacred" sites by various spiritual traditions. These sites are also sometimes identified as "warps" in the paranormal literature. This is not surprising – just as practically every galaxy has a black hole (which warps spacetime) lurking behind it, every Earth chakra has an intense magnetic node which may have similar effects.
Ley lines, or leys, connect ancient holy sites — just as cosmic filaments connect galaxies in space and meridians connect chakras in our subtle bodies. Ley lines are in fact Birkeland currents. Birkeland currents imply electric circuits that comply with Kirchhoff’s circuit laws. Chinese acupuncture often describes the various meridians in subtle bodies as ‘microcosmic orbits’ or circuits. In the same way that a person can be healed by Chinese acupuncture, sites on Earth can be healed by "Earth acupuncture" – making the site more conducive to receive incoming energy by multiplying and enlarging pathways.
Conclusion
There are networks of Birkeland currents (or webs of filamentary currents) in the subtle bodies of the universe, the Earth and even our own bodies. These various networks are interconnected – like the circulatory system in our biomolecular bodies – with large arteries connecting to smaller arteries and capillaries. And just like the circulatory system the network distributes and transfers energy from one point to another. This forms a complex energy system connecting us to the universe. The currents that give rise to the auroras on Earth originate far from the Earth and connect to the Earth as a whole though the global magnetic field. Individual human energy systems are therefore integral components of the universal energy system.
"The human energy system is like an electric power plant that runs in patterned circuits…This energy system forms a microcosm of the universal energy patterns that run like templates throughout nature and the cosmos, from the galactic and solar systems down to the cellular, molecular, and atomic levels of existence." - Daniel Reid
