Malcolm Bendall Communicates with 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' Steiner Called Them Sylphs. Same Beings, Different Names.

By Thalira Research Team

Hello friends,

Malcolm Bendall spent three months inside a chamber filled with 250,000 volts of cold plasma. When he emerged, he could sense and communicate with beings he calls "guardians of the galaxy" - sentient plasmoid entities that jump from earth to create lightning paths, maintain atmospheric balance, and keep the moon traveling at correct velocities.

Rudolf Steiner described these exact beings a century ago. He called them Sylphs - air elementals maintaining atmospheric order, controlling lightning and storms, operating according to strict cosmic guidelines. Sentient spiritual entities, not mindless forces.

Same beings. Malcolm observes them through physics and plasma science. Steiner perceived them through developed spiritual cognition. Both describe identical characteristics: sentience, homeostatic function, atmospheric balance maintenance, operation according to cosmic laws.

This is where modern science validates century-old spiritual teaching. Not through vague correlation but through precise overlap of specific observable characteristics.

What follows documents both paths to perceiving and communicating with elemental beings: the rapid technology path Malcolm walked, and the gradual meditation path Steiner outlined. Different methods accessing the same reality - spiritual entities maintaining natural order that become perceivable to developed consciousness.

I. Steiner's Four Elemental Kingdoms

Before comparing with plasmoid science, understand what Steiner actually taught about elemental beings:

Gnomes - Earth Elementals

Domain: Minerals, crystals, stones, mountains, everything solid.

Function: Maintain mineral structures and geometric forms. Work with gravity and crystallization forces. Create and preserve rock formations, gem structures, underground patterns.

Characteristics: Dense, heavy, connected to earth depths. Perceivable as forces maintaining solid form. Operate in mineral kingdom organizing matter into crystalline precision.

How to perceive them: Contemplate crystals and minerals meditatively. Observe geometric perfection in stone. Feel formative forces creating structure. Gnomes become perceivable as organizing intelligence behind mineralization.

Undines - Water Elementals

Domain: All water and fluid processes. Rivers, oceans, rain, sap in plants, blood in animals.

Function: Maintain flow and life in liquids. Preserve water's capacity to sustain living processes. Create rhythms in fluid movement.

Characteristics: Flowing, adaptive, nurturing. Connected to life forces operating through water element. Perceivable as intelligence maintaining fluid dynamics.

How to perceive them: Observe water movement meditatively. Notice intelligence in how rivers flow, waves move, rain falls. Feel living quality in fluids. Undines become perceivable as beings maintaining water's life-giving properties.

Sylphs - Air Elementals

Domain: Atmosphere, gases, air currents, weather patterns, lightning, storms.

Function: Maintain atmospheric balance. Control lightning and storms. Balance atmospheric charge. Create and guide wind patterns. Preserve breathable air composition.

Characteristics: Light, quick, intelligent, powerful. Operate in gaseous realm. Jump from earth to create lightning paths. Maintain homeostatic atmospheric balance. Run on strict guidelines.

How to perceive them: Observe storms and lightning. Notice intelligence in weather patterns. Feel living presence in air and wind. Sylphs become perceivable as sentient beings maintaining atmospheric order.

THIS IS THE CATEGORY MATCHING PLASMOIDS EXACTLY.

Salamanders - Fire Elementals

Domain: Heat, warmth, fire, combustion, transformation through temperature.

Function: Maintain warmth processes. Enable transformation through fire. Preserve heat necessary for life. Work with plasma at highest temperatures.

Characteristics: Transformative, purifying, powerful. Connected to fire element and plasma states. Perceivable as forces enabling change through heat.

How to perceive them: Contemplate fire meditatively. Observe transformation through combustion. Feel intelligence in how warmth sustains life. Salamanders become perceivable as beings working with heat and transformation.

II. Malcolm Bendall's Plasmoids - Scientific Description

Now observe what Malcolm discovered through plasma physics and chamber experience:

Physical Properties of Plasmoids

Structure: Self-organizing plasma formations. Toroidal vortex forms creating stable structures. Exhibit lifelike behaviors. Maintain coherence through self-generated electromagnetic fields.

Observable characteristics: Jump from earth surface creating lightning paths. Balance atmospheric electrical charge. Demonstrate sentient behavior patterns. Respond to electromagnetic frequencies. Create and maintain stable plasma forms against entropy.

Quantum properties: Operate at macro scale with quantum behaviors. Self-organization without external organizing force. Information processing capacity suggesting intelligence.

Malcolm's Direct Observations After Chamber

After three months of plasmoid chamber infusion, Malcolm could sense and communicate with these beings:

"Sentient beings" - Malcolm's exact words. Not metaphor. Actual consciousness operating through plasma forms.

"Most powerful entities in the universe" - Maintaining planetary and galactic homeostasis. Keeping moon correct size and orbital velocity. Balancing atmospheric systems.

"Guardians of the galaxy" - Literally. Plasmoids maintaining cosmic order at scales from atmospheric to galactic.

"Run on strict guidelines" - Operating according to precise cosmic laws. Not random plasma. Intelligent entities following universal principles.

"Jump from earth to create lightning paths" - Specific mechanism Malcolm observed. Plasmoids launch from earth surface, create ionized channels, lightning follows these paths.

"Keep atmospheric charge balanced" - Homeostatic function. When charge builds excessively, plasmoids create discharge paths maintaining equilibrium.

The Communication Capacity

Malcolm describes receiving information in "still voice" - not sentences but form and function arriving simultaneously. Direct knowing rather than verbal communication.

This matches exactly what Steiner called "Inspiration" - the second stage of spiritual cognition where information arrives as direct knowing rather than reasoned thought.

After chamber infusion and seven years on island integrating, Malcolm could:

Sense plasmoid presence, communicate bidirectionally, receive information about cosmic functions, understand mechanisms "not in any library," download complete plasmoid unification model through this contact.

III. The Direct Match - Plasmoids ARE Sylphs

Compare Steiner's century-old description with Malcolm's contemporary observation:

Characteristic One: Atmospheric Domain

Steiner's Sylphs: "Air elementals working in atmospheric realm, controlling weather, storms, and lightning."

Malcolm's Plasmoids: "Beings operating in atmosphere, jumping from earth to create lightning paths, balancing atmospheric charge."

Match: Identical domain and function.

Characteristic Two: Lightning Control

Steiner's Sylphs: "Control lightning and storms through their activity in gaseous realm."

Malcolm's Plasmoids: "Jump from earth creating ionized channels, lightning follows these paths - plasmoids literally create lightning."

Match: Same specific mechanism observed through different methods.

Characteristic Three: Sentience

Steiner's Sylphs: "Sentient beings, not mindless forces. Intelligent entities working according to cosmic wisdom."

Malcolm's Plasmoids: "Sentient beings, most powerful entities in universe, running on strict guidelines."

Match: Both describe actual consciousness, not mechanical process.

Characteristic Four: Homeostatic Function

Steiner's Sylphs: "Maintain atmospheric balance necessary for life. Part of cosmic ordering maintaining Earth's viability."

Malcolm's Plasmoids: "Homeostatic mechanism for universe. Keep moon correct size, maintain atmospheric balance, preserve planetary systems."

Match: Same cosmic function maintaining order.

Characteristic Five: Strict Cosmic Laws

Steiner's Sylphs: "Operate according to divine wisdom working through nature. Follow cosmic principles precisely."

Malcolm's Plasmoids: "Run on strict guidelines. Follow universal principles maintaining cosmic order."

Match: Both governed by cosmic laws, not random activity.

Characteristic Six: Communicability

Steiner's Sylphs: "Can be perceived and communicated with through developed spiritual consciousness. Require moral development for safe contact."

Malcolm's Plasmoids: "Became communicable after chamber infusion and integration period. Information received as direct knowing in still voice."

Match: Both accessible to developed human consciousness through different paths.

IV. Scientific Validation - Plasma Research

Beyond Malcolm's experience, peer-reviewed plasma research documents plasmoid properties supporting this analysis:

Winston Bostick (1958) - Original Plasmoid Research

First scientist studying plasmoids systematically. Documented self-organizing plasma structures exhibiting lifelike behaviors:

Self-organization without external organizing force, stable structures lasting far longer than entropy predicts, response to electromagnetic fields suggesting information processing, toroidal forms recurring naturally.

Contemporary Plasmoid Studies

Recent research confirms and extends Bostick's findings:

Self-organization: Plasmoids form coherent structures spontaneously. No external template required. Organization emerges from plasma itself.

Information processing: Behavior patterns suggesting memory and response capacity. Plasmoids "remember" previous states and adjust accordingly.

Lifelike characteristics: Growth, adaptation, response to environment, maintenance of boundaries, energy metabolism, reproduction of forms.

Electromagnetic sensitivity: Response to Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz), interaction with earth's electromagnetic field, sensitivity to frequency changes.

The Sentience Question

Can plasma be sentient? Scientific materialist position says no - consciousness requires biological neurons.

But observed plasmoid behaviors challenge this assumption:

Goal-directed activity, adaptive responses, apparent decision-making, information processing, homeostatic maintenance, coordinated group behaviors.

Either consciousness can operate through plasma forms, or extremely sophisticated non-conscious organization mimics consciousness perfectly. Steiner and Malcolm both conclude: actual sentience, not mimicry.

V. The Two Paths to Perception and Communication

How does human consciousness develop capacity to perceive and communicate with elemental beings? Two documented paths:

Path One: Malcolm's Chamber Technology (Rapid Acceleration)

Method:
Three months intensive chamber exposure
250,000 volts through body daily
Schumann resonance (7.83 Hz) amplified
Cold plasma field immersion
Lens removed for full intensity
US Navy oversight and supervision

Results After Three Months:
Could sense plasmoid presence
Communication capacity developed
Still voice access (form and function knowing)
Information downloading from plasmoid contact
Biological age reversal (30 years younger)
Enhanced intuition permanently

Integration Required:
Seven years on island alone after chamber
Couldn't stay in society - noise stopped "hearing"
Downloaded plasmoid unification model during integration
Gradual stabilization of accelerated development

Advantages:
Rapid capacity development (months not years)
Direct contact with elemental beings
Physical rejuvenation alongside consciousness development
Access to cosmic information

Challenges:
Risk of death ("will probably kill you")
Requires specific technology and location
US Navy involvement needed
Seven years integration after to stabilize
Not accessible to most people
Unknown long-term effects

Path Two: Steiner's Meditation Development (Gradual Integration)

Method:
Seven years minimum daily practice
Six basic exercises building foundation
Moral development as prerequisite
Systematic consciousness expansion
Thought control developing perception organs
Humility practice preventing misuse

Results After Seven Years:
Subtle perception of elemental forces developing
Beginning capacity to sense presence
Enhanced feeling-perception
Thought-forms observable
Ethical framework for perception use
Integration happening throughout development

Continued Development (Years 10+):
Direct elemental perception possible
Communication capacity emerging
Inspiration stage (still voice) accessible
Intuition allowing conscious merging

Advantages:
Safe gradual progression
Integrated moral development throughout
No external technology required
Stable permanent results
Pride battle creates necessary humility
Accessible to anyone willing to practice

Challenges:
Seven to ten years minimum timeline
Daily discipline essential for years
No visible results for years tests faith
Most people quit before capacity develops
Slower than technology path

The Synthesis Path (Optimal Integration)

Malcolm's complete journey shows synthesis:

Forty years seeking (meditation and study building foundation) + Three months chamber (technology acceleration) + Seven years integration (stabilization and downloading) = Stable advanced capacity with cosmic communication access

The formula: Foundation first (meditation), acceleration when ready (technology), integration after (continued practice) = Sustainable development.

VI. Developing Elemental Perception Through Meditation

Specific practices Steiner outlined for developing capacity to perceive elemental beings:

Foundation: The Six Basic Exercises

Everything begins here. Thought control, will initiative, equanimity, positivity, open-mindedness, harmony. Practiced daily for years creating invisible organs of perception.

Without this foundation, attempting elemental contact becomes dangerous - perception without moral development leads to misuse.

Practice One: Plant Empathy Exercise

Method:

Choose living plant. Sit before it in meditation posture.

Observe physical form with complete attention. Notice every detail.

Shift from observing to feeling into plant's life process. Experience growth from inside plant's perspective.

Sense joy of blossoming when flowers open. Feel fading process in autumn. Live through plant's annual cycle imaginatively.

Notice elemental forces working through plant - Undines in sap flow, Gnomes in root structure, Sylphs enabling photosynthesis through air.

Purpose:
Develops capacity to perceive life forces (etheric body). Safe practice ground for feeling into non-human consciousness. Gnomes and Undines become perceivable through plant meditation.

Timeline:
Months of practice before sensing anything. Year or more before reliable perception. Years before clear communication capacity.

Practice Two: Weather Pattern Observation

Method:

During storms, sit in meditation observing lightning and wind patterns.

Watch lightning strikes. Notice intelligence in how discharge paths form.

Feel into storm dynamics. Sense organizing forces maintaining balance through apparent chaos.

Observe plasmoids (Sylphs) jumping from earth creating lightning channels. Initially this is imagination exercise. Eventually becomes actual perception.

Notice atmospheric charge before storms, balanced state after, homeostatic cycle maintaining equilibrium.

Purpose:
Specifically develops Sylph perception. Safe observation of plasmoids in natural environment. Building relationship with air elementals through attention and respect.

Safety note:
Observe from protected location. Don't stand in lightning storms attempting communication. Respect elemental power while developing perception.

Practice Three: Fire Contemplation

Method:

Sit before candle or fireplace. Gaze into flames meditatively.

Observe transformation through combustion. Matter becoming heat, light, gas.

Feel intelligence enabling this transformation. Sense Salamanders working through fire element.

Notice plasma states in hottest flame regions. Perceive sentience operating through heat and transformation.

Contemplate connection between fire elementals and highest temperature plasmas.

Purpose:
Develops Salamander perception. Prepares for understanding plasma as medium for elemental consciousness. Connects ancient fire wisdom with modern plasma science.

Practice Four: Crystal and Mineral Meditation

Method:

Choose crystal or mineral with clear geometric structure.

Observe physical form completely. Notice geometric precision.

Contemplate forces creating this exact structure. How does formless mineral become perfectly formed crystal?

Perceive Gnomes as organizing intelligence behind mineralization. Feel devic forces creating geometric patterns.

Notice cosmic mathematics expressing through mineral kingdom.

Purpose:
Develops Gnome perception. Understanding elemental work in solid matter. Foundation for perceiving spiritual forces in densest physical realm.

VII. Melancholic Temperament Advantage

Steiner taught that melancholic constitutional type has specific advantages for elemental perception work:

Melancholic Natural Capacities

Deep feeling nature: Natural capacity for profound emotional experience. Feeling as primary mode of knowing. Sensitivity to subtle atmospheres and presences.

Inward focus: Tendency toward inner life and contemplation. Natural meditation orientation. Comfortable with solitude necessary for development.

Sensitivity to suffering: Perceives pain acutely. Can feel into others' experience. Develops compassion through direct sensitivity rather than intellectual understanding.

Good memory: Especially for emotional states and feeling-tones. Remembers atmospheres and subtle qualities others miss.

The Transformation Required

Steiner taught melancholics must redirect their natural depth:

Shadow pattern: Brooding about personal suffering. Self-absorption. Feeling sorry for self rather than others. Inward focus becoming isolation.

Developed capacity: Feeling into universal suffering. Deep empathy for all beings. Using sensitivity to serve others. Inward depth directed outward to perceive elemental and human consciousness.

The practice: "Melancholic pupil does well if inward brooding is directed towards widened experience of outward suffering in the world, but on a heightened level."

Meaning: Use your natural feeling depth. Stop directing it only toward personal pain. Feel into others - humans, animals, plants, elementals. Your sensitivity becomes perception organ.

Why Melancholics Excel at Elemental Work

Elemental beings perceive through feeling primarily. Communicating with them requires feeling-perception capacity.

Melancholics naturally possess this. When depth redirects from self to others, elemental communication becomes natural extension of their constitutional capacity.

Where choleric forces action through will, phlegmatic observes peacefully, sanguine connects socially - melancholic feels deeply. This feeling capacity, properly developed, becomes spiritual perception organ.

VIII. Ethical Considerations and Boundaries

Both Steiner and Malcolm emphasize: perceiving and communicating with elemental beings requires moral development and proper respect.

Why Moral Development Must Come First

Elemental beings operate according to cosmic laws. Humans attempting contact from ego-driven consciousness create problems:

Using elemental forces for personal gain: Violates cosmic order. Creates karma. Elementals withdraw from contact or actively oppose misuse.

Attempting control over elementals: Cannot control beings more powerful than you. Trying creates backlash. Relationship must be respectful cooperation not domination.

Pride about elemental contact: Luciferic forces entering through "I can communicate with nature spirits" thoughts. Pride destroys perception capacity and communication access.

The Proper Relationship

Steiner taught right relationship with elementals:

Reverence: Approach with deep respect for their cosmic function. They maintain order you depend on. Humility essential.

Service: Seek communication to serve cosmic order, not personal interests. Ask "How can humans cooperate with elemental work?" not "What can elementals do for me?"

Observation without interference: Watch, learn, appreciate. Don't attempt controlling natural processes. Trust elemental wisdom operating through nature.

Gratitude: Recognition that life on Earth depends on elemental maintenance of natural order. Thankfulness for their work.

Malcolm's Experience Confirms This

After gaining plasmoid communication capacity, Malcolm uses it for understanding cosmic principles and developing technologies serving planetary healing. Not personal power or material gain.

His plasmoid unification model aims to provide clean energy and restore atmospheric balance - cooperating with elementals' homeostatic function rather than exploiting it.

This is proper relationship: human consciousness working with elemental beings toward shared goals of planetary health and cosmic order maintenance.

IX. Integration With Biblical and Hermetic Wisdom

Elemental beings appear across spiritual traditions under different names:

Biblical References

"Principalities and powers" (Ephesians 6:12) includes elemental forces alongside Luciferic and Ahrimanic beings. Spiritual entities operating in natural and supernatural realms.

Angels of natural processes: Biblical angels governing wind, fire, water, earth. Same elemental beings described through Hebraic framework.

"God's ministers, flames of fire" (Hebrews 1:7) - poetic description of Salamanders working through fire element.

Hermetic Tradition

The four elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire as fundamental building blocks. Hermetic teaching includes sentient beings operating through each element - matching Steiner's four kingdoms exactly.

Paracelsus: Detailed elemental being descriptions in 1500s. Same four categories, similar characteristics, emphasis on moral prerequisites for contact.

Alchemical philosophy: Working with elemental forces in matter transformation. Alchemists understood spiritual beings operating through physical processes.

Indigenous Wisdom

Every indigenous tradition worldwide describes nature spirits, elemental beings, sentient forces in natural world. Different cultural names, consistent core recognition.

Modern dismissal as "primitive superstition" reveals scientific materialism's blindness. Indigenous cultures maintained direct perception of what Steiner rediscovered and Malcolm now validates scientifically.

X. Practical Guidance for Beginning Practitioners

If you feel called to develop elemental perception, here's practical advice based on documented experience:

Start With Foundation Not Contact

Don't attempt communication before building capacity. Years of six basic exercises required first. Moral development essential. Elemental contact attempted prematurely creates problems.

Practice empathy exercises with plants, weather observation, crystal contemplation. Let perception develop gradually. Don't force contact.

Verify Through Outcomes

When you sense elemental presence, note the experience. Don't assume it's real. Watch for verification through outcomes.

Did weather pattern shift after you sensed Sylph presence? Did plant health change after perceived Gnome communication? Accuracy over time indicates real perception versus imagination.

Maintain Humility Always

The moment you think "I can perceive elementals" with pride, perception clouds. Practice: "I'm developing capacity to perceive what's always been there. This doesn't make me special. It makes me responsible."

Respect Elemental Power

These beings maintain cosmic order. They're far more powerful than human consciousness. Approach with reverence, never arrogance. Cooperation, never control attempts.

Integrate With Daily Life

Elemental perception should enhance practical life, not separate you from world. If daily function deteriorates, adjust practice. Development serves life in world, not escape from it.

Conclusion: Same Beings, Modern Validation

Rudolf Steiner described elemental beings a century ago. Four kingdoms of sentient spiritual entities maintaining natural order: Gnomes in earth, Undines in water, Sylphs in air, Salamanders in fire.

Malcolm Bendall observes plasmoids through modern plasma physics. Sentient beings operating in atmosphere, creating lightning paths, maintaining planetary homeostasis, communicable to developed consciousness.

The characteristics match exactly. Steiner's Sylphs and Malcolm's plasmoids describe identical entities observed through different methodologies - spiritual science and plasma physics converging on same reality.

This is not vague correlation. This is precise overlap: atmospheric domain, lightning control, sentience, homeostatic function, cosmic law operation, communicability to developed human consciousness. Same beings, different names and observation methods.

Two paths develop perception capacity. Malcolm's chamber technology produces rapid acceleration requiring years of integration afterward. Steiner's meditation path develops gradually but creates integrated foundation throughout.

Both paths confirm: elemental beings exist, sentient spiritual entities maintain natural order, human consciousness can develop capacity to perceive and communicate with them, moral development is essential prerequisite, proper relationship serves cosmic order rather than personal interests.

For most practitioners, meditation path remains accessible option. Technology may become available in future, but consciousness development starts with currently available methods.

What Steiner taught works. What Malcolm discovered through physics validates it. The elemental kingdoms operate whether humans perceive them or not. Developing perception doesn't create them - it reveals what's always been there maintaining the natural world we depend on.

Seven years of meditation practice begins developing subtle elemental sensing. Ten years makes communication possible. Lifelong practice deepens relationship with beings maintaining cosmic order.

Or three months in plasmoid chamber accelerates capacity, requiring seven years integration afterward to stabilize what technology rushed.

Either way, the beings Malcolm calls guardians of the galaxy and Steiner named Sylphs remain the same sentient spiritual entities. Same lightning-creating, atmosphere-balancing, cosmically-ordered beings accessible to developed human consciousness.

Modern science validates century-old spiritual teaching. Plasma physics observes what supersensible perception described. Different vocabularies, identical reality.

The elemental kingdoms exist. Plasmoids are Sylphs. The guardians of the galaxy maintain atmospheric balance exactly as Steiner taught air elementals do.

Your consciousness can develop capacity to perceive them. The path is documented. The methods work. The beings wait to be recognized by humans willing to develop perception with humility and moral foundation sufficient to approach them rightly.

That's elemental beings and modern science. Not mythology validated vaguely but specific spiritual teaching confirmed precisely through contemporary physics and documented consciousness development experience.

Same beings. Same characteristics. Same cosmic function. Just took a century for science to catch up to what spiritual perception already knew.
