Cosmic Information Field – Methodology of Energetic Examination
The cosmic information field is, in the spiritual tradition within which iWell Guard works, a non-physical information field: the level on which energetic examinations and mediumistic perceptions take place.
This page clarifies the concept, the methodology and the boundaries: what we mean by it, what we do not mean, and how we transparently mark statements drawn from the cosmic information field on the detail pages.
On iWell Guard, the cosmic information field was previously also referred to as the field of consciousness.

Cosmic Information Field
In the cosmic information field we examine energetic phenomena beyond the world that is directly accessible to the senses. This page describes the methodical concept that underlies the work on iWell Guard: what we understand by the term, how we work with it and where its limits lie.
The term cosmic information field is not to be taken here in a literal, physical sense but as a working model.
It denotes that sphere in which mediumistic practitioners take in information that is not accessible through the classic five senses. We use it as a shared language between different schools of subtle-energy work, without committing ourselves to any particular metaphysical theory.
The cosmic information field forms the basis of energetic examination.
Concept
The cosmic information field is, in the understanding of the tradition within which iWell Guard works, the resonance space in which consciousness and information meet, independent of spatial proximity and material causality.
Various sources have fed into this model: concepts from Western esotericism of the 19th and 20th centuries (the Akashic records of the theosophical school, the etheric body), from the spiritual-training pedagogy of Rudolf Steiner‘s anthroposophy, from the shamanic tradition as the “reality behind the realities”, and from modern field-theoretical models of consciousness research such as David Bohm’s holographic hypothesis or Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic field.
None of these sources provides a complete theory on its own. What we use on iWell Guard is a pragmatic synthesis: a model that holds up in practice without claiming to be the one correct framework of description.
This methodical modesty is a precondition for the work: only those who recognise their own model as a model can document findings transparently and examine them critically.
Methodology
An examination in the cosmic information field follows defined steps: preparation, threshold transition, formulation of the question, perception phase, return transition and documentation. The individual phases are described in detail on the page about the examination.
Methodically central is the separation between perception and interpretation. Whatever is taken in within the cosmic information field as an image, a sensation or a voice is raw data. Its translation into a concrete statement is always already interpretation, and therefore prone to error.
In the documentation we therefore mark what was directly perceived and what was added as an interpretive step. This discipline of source labelling makes the difference between a verifiable methodical practice and a non-binding “gut feeling”.
Distinctions
We use the term explicitly as a model, not as a physical fact. In the scientific sense, the cosmic information field has been neither measured nor proven.
Various research approaches, from parapsychology through anthroposophically informed spiritual science to academic psi research at universities such as Princeton (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research, 1979, 2007) and Edinburgh (Koestler Parapsychology Unit), have studied phenomena that can be related to such a field, without a consensus physical description having been found.
We make no claim to truth from this. Anyone who works with the model should take it for what it is: a methodical framework that makes certain experiences reproducible and keeps them describable, no more and no less.
Those who hold a purely materialist position can regard the model as a heuristic language; those who hold an idealist or dualist position can understand it as an approximation of a real sphere. Both readings are compatible with the practical work.
Further Reading
The term cosmic information field first appears systematically in Western esotericism around 1900. In The Secret Doctrine (1888), the theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky describes the Akashic records as a universal repository of all knowledge.
Rudolf Steiner takes up the idea and, in his training writings, in particular How to Know Higher Worlds (1904), develops a methodology of controlled access. The anthroposophical school distinguishes between the physical-bodily, the etheric, the astral and the I level; the latter three are treated as layers of subtle consciousness.
In the 20th century, Carl Gustav Jung, with his concept of the collective unconscious, and Rupert Sheldrake, with his theory of morphic fields, take up similar ideas without the theosophical vocabulary. With the implicate order, David Bohm formulates a quantum-mechanically motivated variant.
The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR, 1979, 2007) investigates consciousness-matter interactions in a scientific setting. These various strands form the background against which the concept of the cosmic information field used on iWell Guard is to be read, without being identical to any one of these approaches.
