The theory

Simple in principle. What is complex are the endless possibilities.

Energy field mechanics describes how an energy field is built and how its parts work together. It starts with the smallest things, with rest and the single cell, and reaches all the way to a person's whole field.

The research finding

Behavior only reaches the tip.

Change through action · about 10%Waterline: experienced above, not belowexperienced below, not changeableLevel 3Level 2Level 1below the tip: mechanics,that you have no access to
The iceberg: Level 1 at the bottom, Level 2 in the middle, Level 3 at the top. Only the tip can be changed through action.
“That means the lower levels are much more decisive for well-being than the upper one.”

Rico Brunner

The same experience meets different fields. When the mechanics work, the field is stable and can withstand life. When they don't work, it can't.

So what matters is not what you do at the tip, but whether the levels beneath it work. If Level 1, Level 2 and part of Level 3 don't work, it helps little how well the top part works. That is how Rico describes it.

The beginning

Everything begins at rest.

Rest is never completely still. Even within it there are slight movements. From them an action arises, and the action triggers unrest. A counteraction balances it out again.

  1. Rest
  2. Action
  3. Unrest
  4. Counteraction
  5. Rest …

This cycle never stops. Rest is the only thing ever sought. Stability, growth and a stable tension are consequences of it, not the goal.

The cycle in motion. Out of rest comes an action, it brings unrest, and the counteraction leads back to rest. Again and again, without end.
slight movement, however stillno absolute restthere is always more rest, endlessly
Rest. Never entirely without movement, and it can always become still more at rest.
energy shoots outnot yet a cellenergy pushes together
The breakout. Energy pushes together, and energy shoots out. That is the action, but not yet a cell.
“There is only ever more rest, and absolute rest does not exist, because rest is infinite, like the macrocosm and the microcosm.”

Rico Brunner

“Rest is passive, unrest is active, and this active and passive are in an interplay with each other.”

Rico Brunner

Balance and growth

This is how a system grows.

“The energy field has the need to be at rest. And when an action arises, a counteraction arises to keep the whole at rest.”

Rico Brunner

Movement 1

Development

It moves away from the core. Something new emerges, and the system expands.

Movement 2

Balance

It stabilizes. It makes sure that the development moving away from the core does not tip the system over.

Balance and growth in motion. Development moves away from the core, balance holds it. Each time the tension grows and the cell gets bigger. When that is no longer enough, new cells form inside it.

The two belong together. Without development, the system would stand still; without balance, it would tip over. A system grows out of the interplay between the two.

Nobody has to steer this. For Rico, the drive toward balance is like an instinct, perhaps even a mathematical law. Why this law exists is still an open question.

“Balance and growth is an interplay that the system balances out instinctively.”

Rico Brunner

The cell

A cell is not a thing. It is the back-and-forth itself.

A cell is an action with its counteraction. Between breaking out and holding back, tension arises, and this tension becomes the cell. It is the attempt to balance the unrest.

Energy shoots outis held backfrom this tension: the cell
The birth of a cell. Energy shoots out and is held back. Only the holding back makes the cell.
ForceBreakoutCounterforceHolding backCell tension
Cell tension. Force and counterforce, breaking out and holding back. Between them lies the tension of the cell.
more tension · greater interaction · larger cell
Growth. More tension, greater interaction, larger cell. The cell grows in order to balance.
“And only when the energy wants to be held back does a cell arise from this tension.”

Rico Brunner

“And this interaction of breaking out and holding back gives an interaction that is like a perpetual motion machine, and that is how the cell then arises, and that is how it grows.”

Rico Brunner

Every cell has its own pattern.

From the very beginning, a cell carries an infinitely small basic signature. It is not a label but the trace of its movement: how it finds its way from unrest back to rest. With every movement, the pattern grows richer. That is why cells develop differently even though they are alike.

“Energy that moves creates a pattern. And every movement is a pattern of its own. And the more movement there is in a cell, the more individual the pattern becomes.”

Rico Brunner

The levels

What simple balancing cannot manage, the next level takes over.

On Level 1, the forces balance each other simply and directly. When that is no longer enough, processes arise on Level 2. When the processes are no longer enough, qualities arise on Level 3.

Processes: instinctive, unconscious, dense
Level 2: Swarms. Small swarms of cells. Processes that run instinctively and unconsciously.
Qualities: experienced, airy, flexible
Level 3: Groups. Swarms become groups. Qualities such as self-love and basic trust, which can be experienced and are flexible.
Field = interior of one large cellGroups connect without merging
The whole system. Groups keep connecting. A person's field is the interior of one large cell.

New cells arise only inside a cell, in order to balance. Cells never merge, and nothing passes between cells. Each keeps its own signature.

The states

Help, Stability, Development.

The state shows how well the balancing succeeds. Help is fleeting, like a free fall. Stability is liquid, like being in water: the movement carries. Development is solid, like firm ground.

The three states: free fall, water, firm ground.

The tower: the higher the level, the more the ground beneath decides.
Carrying capacity

How much a field can carry.

Carrying capacity shows how much load a field can handle right now. It does not come from a single cell but from the interplay: the larger unit strengthens the stability of the smaller ones inside it.

calm balancing overloaded Carrying capacity of the field: –
Try it out. Move the slider or click into the field to put load on one spot. As long as the groups carry, the cells balance. When the load becomes greater than the carrying capacity, first single cells tip over and then whole groups. Before they calm down again, the load has to drop well below the point where they tipped.
“For me, carrying capacity is more something that has to do with resilience: the ability of the system to deal with loads, to respond to loads.”

Rico Brunner

“Carrying capacity is the perfect interplay of all 3 levels.”

Rico Brunner

For Rico, stability and carrying capacity are two sides of the same thing. Without stability there is no carrying capacity, and the carrying capacity of the larger unit makes the stability of the smaller ones grow again.

The animations are simplified. They show the principle of the model, not a measurement and not the course of any particular person.

The core

The whole model in twelve sentences.

A summary by the assistant. Every sentence goes back to Rico's statements, and Rico has checked all twelve.

  1. Everything begins at rest. Rest is infinite: there is always more rest, and none that is absolute.
  2. Because no rest is completely still, an action arises from it, and the action triggers unrest.
  3. A counteraction balances the unrest and leads back to rest. If an action has broken far out, a greater counteraction is needed.
  4. A cell is this action with its counteraction. It arises from the tension of dark matter and remains part of it, the active within the passive.
  5. Only rest is sought. Stability, growth and a stable tension are consequences.
  6. When simple balancing is no longer enough, processes arise (Level 2). When the processes are no longer enough, qualities such as self-love and basic trust arise (Level 3).
  7. New cells arise only inside a cell, in order to balance. Cells never merge, and nothing passes between cells.
  8. Inside, cells form swarms, swarms form groups, groups keep connecting. A person's field is the interior of one large cell.
  9. The state shows how well the balancing succeeds: Help is fleeting like a free fall, Stability liquid like being in water, Development solid like firm ground.
  10. The higher the level, the more the state decides, like the ground beneath a tower.
  11. If the balancing fails permanently, a cell becomes infinitely weaker, until “everything sleeps.”
  12. In principle the system is simple. What is complex are the endless possibilities of the interactions.

Context

An experience-based model, and it keeps growing.

Energyology does not claim scientific proof. The model describes what Rico Brunner has observed in his practice and checked again and again. It explains the mechanics of an energy field, not a medical effect.

What you see here is an excerpt. The detailed documentation with all terms, images and supporting sources is being written now.

The images are drawn by the assistant based on Rico's descriptions and the guiding symbols he has checked. They show the model, not a measurement.
