In this introductory episode of the podcast series Conversations with the Universe, Sylvia Leifheit shares the personal catalyst for her work—a near‑death experience that heightened her senses and reshaped her view of existence. She outlines the central premise of her first book, The Basics of Being, presenting a metaphysical model in which everything—matter, thoughts, impulses, the cosmos—is fundamentally energy. She introduces the term “energy units” to denote variable concentrations of energy that, through outward‑then‑inward spiral motion, generate the spectrum from dense matter to subtle forms. The spiral creates distinct energy zones whose properties are defined by frequency ranges. The “Wheel of Being” visualizes this dual‑directional spiral (clockwise deceleration, counter‑clockwise acceleration), embodying the universal law of balance, the return to origin, and the interplay between unconscious and ego consciousness. Leifheit emphasizes that consciousness acts as a human filter that can navigate these zones, and that the macrocosm and microcosm are expressions of the same energetic process. The episode serves as a foundational exposition, inviting listeners to broaden and focus their perspective, and to recognize that changing perception changes the manifestation of energy.
Chapters
Dear human being, beloved soul, I welcome you to my podcast series Conversations with the Universe. After a near-death experience, my perception of our human existence changed profoundly. I became more sensitive, with all our known senses. I feel more intensely, see people with different eyes, and often take a different perspective on life and our challenges. In my books, I share these altered perspectives and all the knowledge that has flowed through me since my near-death and thus record it for all those who are searching for something more, for the meaning of our existence here on Mother Earth. And it is now a great pleasure for me to share this knowledge with you in this way as a supplement to my books. This season I am dedicating myself to my very first work, "The Basics of Being." I wish you many wonderful insights on your path. Thank you. Love, Sylvia Leifheit.
All spiritual has an effect on matter and all matter on the spiritual. Subtle forms have an effect on coarse forms and these in turn on the subtle forms. And so you will encounter the same processes over and over again. Macrocosm and microcosm are only expressions of one and the same, of the whole. One of the tasks of this work is to broaden your perspective and at the same time to focus it. You will recognize that everything is energy and that through the changeability of your perceptions, one and the same thing only shows itself differently. You will always, always perceive different things if you only change the tools. And since consciousness plays the main role in all this, one of my most important concerns here is to change your consciousness. Everything else follows this principle, because the whole universe consists of energy with a consciousness. But we will come to that later. Everything is energy. Nature is energy, thoughts are energy, impulses are energy, the whole cosmos, everything you know and everything you don't yet know, are forms of energy. To be more precise, all matter is a variable concentration of energy in different zones. But it is always energy. It is irrelevant here whether we want to call the energy in the form of atoms, electrons, strings, neutrinos, or other particles. It is only and alone a matter of our stating here at the beginning that energy is the basis of all being and that it is only the forms of expression that change under different components, which we want to look at here in more detail. In principle, the One-Swa-One of Being therefore exclusively records energy laws, and in addition everything that is connected with them, arises from them, and how that which arises can change. Since the designation of the energy particles will always change with the tools of the respective science and with the consciousness of the scientists, I would like to give these indefinite forms a designation that should leave any evaluation, also in the future, open. I call them energy units. Everything we know and will yet explore consists of energy units. Therefore, in the final analysis, there is no such thing as real solid matter, only condensed energy. And in the spaces between the dense energy, the less dense energy. Furthermore, the energy units are not rigid concepts in themselves but are in motion. The direction of this movement always follows one and the same principle: they move outwards and then back again. If we assume the unlikely case that the cosmos consists only of rigid energy, no matter could arise, since only the kinetic energy of the energy is the decisive impulse for the formation of matter. This law forms the basis for all forms of being. During the spiral movement, one and the same energy creates different forms of matter in different zones. The further away the energy units move from the center, the slower they become and the more solid and dense their energy becomes. On the way back, it is exactly the opposite. So such a spiral consists of different areas of energy zones. Perhaps it will help you to visualize this: like a sea within the sea, like a part that differs slightly in its water quality from another part but still remains part of the sea. In the cosmos, this distinction is based on frequency differences between the energetic levels, with the scale of frequency ranges ranging from zero to infinity. But I will go into these frequency ranges in more detail later in the chapter "The Energy Worlds." The Wheel of Being stands for this law. It is the power behind the forces, and you can find it in the big as well as in the small, in the microcosm as well as in the macrocosm, again and again, everywhere, above as well as below, in front as well as behind, inside as well as outside. Whether in dense form or in a subtle form, all cosmic principles, including this one, permeate all layers of matter. The Wheel of Being represents the two directions, the clockwise decelerating movement and the counterclockwise accelerating movement. The Wheel of Being summarizes that the movements always lead back to the origin of all energies. And it shows the different speeds as well as the principle of balance, also a universal law of existence. In addition, it contains the point of return, the unconsciousness that must give the impulse to return home as well as the impulse to travel into form with ego consciousness. But where does this impulse come from? What is it, and what does it do in the course of existence? In order to explain all these concepts and to answer all the fundamental questions of existence, we will now devote the next chapters to the center, the energy zones, and the question of perception, because our consciousness is always crucial in all this. The human filter can travel to and experience these energy zones in different ways. How this happens, what it depends on, and what the goal of all this is will now become clear in the following chapters. I use the term Cosmos to describe all worlds, that is, the subtle and the coarse material realms together. In the following, I will also touch on concepts such as Source, or soul. These are based on the basic laws of existence, which I will discuss in more detail in the next chapter. At this point, it is only important to know that the source represents the center of the spiral, and everything else is built on this movement of the spiral. Thank you for listening.
Carpe vitam, seize your life. Thank you for listening. Love, Sylvia Leifheit.
