Fersen’s Science of Being

April 26th, 2007

Five illustrations from Baron Eugene Fersen’s Science of Being, written in 1923, with additional text from his 1927 workbook of the same title (both recently reprinted by Health Research Books).

In Science of Being, Fersen defines a principled framework of reality (a Causeless Cause, the Statements of Being, the Definition of Matter, the Law of Attraction, Magnetic Chemicalization, and the Law of Polarity, to name just a few topics) and the function of man’s triune nature of Life, Mind, and Soul within that reality (health, wealth, truth, love, inspiration, intuition, poise, telepathy, subconsciousness, supercounsciousness, etc).

Fersen’s spirit pyramid

“Divinity working from the four-square of Humanity” (1923, p16).

Fundamentally, though, Fersen presents a course based on channeling a Universal Life Energy that produces Success (with a capital ess) in all of these areas. Fersen identifies this energy as a primal, vibrating force that constitutes manifest reality; at the three different levels of mans’ nature, this same ultimate energy manifests in different forms: magnetic energy, mental energy, and spiritual energy, respectively.

Life force

Life energy.

The Life level is embodied by the Star Exercise, a physical routine whose purpose is to make contact, circulate, and cultivate the Universal Life Energy. To perform the exercise, stand with the body in a five-pointed star-shaped configuration: legs somewhat more than shoulder width apart and arms straight out to the sides, left hand palm up and right hand palm down. “The whole body must remain erect, but not tense… straight, but relaxed” (1923, p65).

Fersen’s star exercise

Fersen’s star exercise.

In this configuration, the Life Center, a point located at the base of the spine, acts as a magnet to attract the Universal Life Energy and to cast it into magnetic energy, or Life Energy, the physical manifestation of the universal. The pull of the Life Center draws energy through the fingertips of the upward facing left hand and down the spinal cord to the Life Center.

From the Life Center, the transformed energy is pushed to the Solar Plexus. This area, more commonly known as the “pit of the stomach”, is the central storage and distribution center of the magnetic energy throughout the body. Fersen also calls this area the abdominal brain. From the Solar Plexus, the magnetic energy is distributed to those parts of the body that require it, but, in particular, the magnetic energy is returned to the spinal cord, passes through the seventh cervical vertebra, and enters the back part of the brain.

This process of energy ingestion, transformation, storage, and distribution is the basis of all Success. “The strength of the individual is in direct proportion to the development of Solar Plexus” (1927, p41). “Each cell in the body will exhibit a greater constructive activity, each organ of the body will perform its duties with an ever increasing power and precision, this giving all members of the body the possibility of manifesting in a most perfect way the activities of the soul. (1927, p163).

Leaving the back part of the brain, the energy is further transformed in order to power the successive levels of human nature: the Pituitary Body casts energy into mental energy, and the Pineal Body casts energy into spiritual energy. Once the storage capacity of the Solar Plexus has been filled, excess energy is routed to the down-turned right hand and into the earth. As the energy flows through the fingertips, the thumb bears the strongest current, followed by the index finger, ring finger, pinky finger, and, at last, the middle finger.

Mind force

Mind force.

This energetic process naturally functions as a result of the physical laws governing Universal Life Energy and the attraction exercised by the Life Center. However, to achieve any benefit from the process, one must become conscious of it. Fersen introduces the exercises of Silence and Relaxation to actualize this consciousness: Relaxation is the complete relaxation of body, mind, and emotions; Silence is the stilling of the willful mind. When one is relaxed and the Will is stilled, the mental conception separating Universal Life Energy from Magnetic Energy is deposed. Physical relaxation enables contact and awareness of Magnetic Energy; mental relaxation stills the Will, and “Soul Vibrations are the natural result of utter Poise” (1927, p567). As a formula of this process, during the Star Exercise, say to oneself, “I am one with the Universal Life Energy. It is flowing through me now. I feel it” (1927, p63).

“Remember, you are working now with a Power which functions only when relaxation provides It with adequate channels, and your purpose is to attract, not compel, the opportunity you desire. If you indulge the temptation to use your Will at this point you automatically close the channels within you and shift your reliance from the unlimited Energy of the Universe to the very limited and undependable powers of your own mind” (1927, p328).

Another aspect of relaxation is the requisite to conquer fear. “The reason [Power] does not [flow into your body all the time] is because your nerves and cells are contracted on account of the general tenseness of your body and are almost paralyzed and closed up by some latent fear. Naturally under these conditions the Life Force concentrated within your Life Center cannot attract the Universal Life Energy which surrounds your body on every side. That is why Relaxation and Silence are such important exercises for the harmonization of the body… Harmony means Equilibrium, and Equilibrium is Power. If you want to be powerful you must achieve the Balance which Power demands for its most efficient expression” (1927, p64-5). Controlling fear is particularly significant given that Success in life is a direct result of confronting Opposition, the progenitor of fear; and Opposition itself is necessary to develop the Life, Mind and Soul – by forcing their exertion.

Thus to make contact, attract, store, and distribute Life Energy via the body center and throughout the body, and to power the Mind and Soul levels that chase higher order accomplishments (Truth, Love, Poise, etc.), requires relaxation both physical and mental. Once one is aware of this circulation, the reservoir of Universal Life Energy can be tapped in lieu of man’s own limited internal stores; and this is the key that sparks true accomplishment: Success is necessarily limited without access to more Energy than insular man alone can provide. In all pursuits, therefore, it is imperative to first make contact with the Universal Life Energy in order to draw whatever Power may be required.

I am all power

I am all power. With what power then art thou fighting me?

The process of relaxation, though, cannot be mastered overnight. In the 1927 workbook, each of twenty-seven distinct lessons presents a specific exercise that drills that lesson, yet all such exercises begin with the Star Exercise – as all exercises depend upon the awareness of the energetic center, it is necessary to practice this foundational exercise always. “Do not be discouraged if you fail to get results at once. Perfect relaxation is not an easy thing to achieve. In fact, it is the most difficult of any mental feats, because Mind is volatile, quick, full of aggressive activity. Contact with Universal Intelligence requires stillness, passivity, a rich sense of harmony within. Yet as in everything else, practice and training will develop the necessary poise in the most unruly intellect, and no price you can pay in patience and perseverance is too great if it brings you the power to contact at will the Eternal Source of All Knowledge” (1927, p427-8). “You cannot rush to your destination by your own willful strength; you can penetrate only gradually and steadily into that remote inner chamber of your Being” (1927, p468).

    Baron Eugene Fersen is an unsung hero among the metaphysical community. But it seems his works are experiencing a resurrection!

    The works of Baron Eugene Fersen are amazing. Thank you for publishing this on your blog so others will know about him. I have Science of Being: 27 Lessons,Science of Being, and some other goodies available in digital format at http://www.scienceofbeingsecrets.com

    AND, those seeking further instruction can find it from his legacy organization, the Lightbearers, at http://www.scienceofbeing.com

    The star exercise works and is cumulative in its effects.The lessons cover just about every aspect of life…lots of information, but well worth the time to study and apply.

    Thnaks again for great blog!

    Cara —

    Thanks for the pointers.

    A few years ago I tried to locate any existent Lightbearers without success. Great to hear the work continues — and the website includes some historical notes that are new to me (for example, that the artwork appearing in my post was created by Malcolm Thurnburn).

  3. Mirco Says:

    Greg,

    never heard of this fellow before (there is always room for learning something new in life).

    However, what he says sounds pretty familiar to me:
    his piramid is a universal symbol, albeit incomplete.

    In reality, there are TWO piramids, pointing up and down, glued together at the base and forming, as it were, a prism.

    They define 6 + 1 = 7 points, the complete septenary:

    the 4 orizontal directions (aka the 4 elements), the zenith (heaven), the nadir (hell), and the most important of them all, the center (quintessence).

    Also, 4 points rotating around a central triune axis. The prism is contained in the sphere.

    Interesting that his form of internal work mimics the structure above: a golden tip for practicioners.

    Best

  5. Does not matter Says:

    I have an original copy of the Science of Being by Eugene Fersen (published 1929) – some of this material is not in the book – is it an elaboration of it? If so this is a mistake because all should be explained to make his writings even more simple – now which would require even less words. The fundamental principal is as i understand that mind is more powerful than the small things – like math and words (language) just use mind by feeling and that is the key to his entire description of the science of being.

  6. Greg Pass Says:

    The quotes noted 1923 are from the book, whereas the quotes noted 1927 are from the later workbook, which does indeed elaborate on several book topics.

  11. KaHunaCowboy Says:

    Is there any information available regarding Fersens studies of the ancient Hawaiian art of Lua?

    Thank You.

  12. Seattle Says:

    KaHunaCowboy:

    There is a very brief mention of Fersen in Max Freedom Long’s book “The Secret Science Behind Miracles”. It wasn’t a reference to him studying a Hawaiian art – but a reference to him teaching/displaying his skills in a way that was somehow related to the people involved in Kahuna. I’ve also seen Fersen’s name mentioned on a website describing the history of Kahuna – but not much more.

    I had heard that he taught some courses somewhere in Hawaii – but have never found any official reference to what those might have been about.

    Hope this helps you find the next step in your search…

  13. philip kubilius Says:

    I have studied qigong for over 30years and discovered the star position myself. I am not sure I agree with Ferson’s explanation of what happens to one but I can say that it will change and affect the proprioception of your body and make one’s energy very powerful internally- without using muscle-power you can overcome any assailant.

  14. Student, Builders Of The Adytum (B.O.T.A.) Says:

    As a student (for many years) of the Mystery School called BOTA, I found it quite interesting the Ferson’s work could be translated into, and applied through,the use of the Mystical Qabalah and the Sacred Tarot, as taught by The BOTA System of Ageless Wisdom based on . Almost ALL of the Lessons in Fersen’s Fundamental Principles:27 Lessons are full of Spiritual Principles and Laws that may be applied with tremendous success by those Aaspirants whose temperaments may NOT be attracted to works like the BOTA or other similar systems. Although some of the Modern, 21st Century, understandings,interpretatons, and terminologies of Ageless Wisdom differ from those of the days of Eugene Ferson’s, the Principles are the same. The Power used by EVERY School of Ageless Wisdom (including the Rosicrucians, Martinists,etc.) Is the same—ONLY the “method of application” differs! True Occultists and Mystics would agree tht Fersen’s does work and produce results of conscientiously prActiced And applied, and is NOT intended as a “quick fix” remedy for those looking for ways to get “something for Little or NOTHING”!

  15. Horton Edward Says:

    How long must one stay in the star position while doing this exercise?

  16. B Miles Says:

    Edward Horton seems to have asked a very practical and important question.
    I wish someone would answer it.

  17. Rob Isbe Says:

    A very practical and important question? Perhaps just as practical and important as to type in ‘star exercise science of being’ in a search engine?

    Sorry for my tone, but even if I didn’t own all of the Science Of Being books, that particular question would be answered for me within a few seconds…

  18. Rob Isbe Says:

    I will add to my previous post though that the books mention a maximum of 15 minutes.
