Phase 7 of Ortho-Bionomy: A Dream of Symbols and Energy
What Is Phase 7 of Ortho-Bionomy?
Phase 7 of Ortho-Bionomy represents a culmination of Arthur Lincoln Pauls’ vision — an opening into the most subtle and spacious expression of the work.
It carries a mythic tone: dream-born, symbol-laden, arriving with the quiet familiarity of something remembered. The feeling is wide-eyed and luminous, as if it had emerged from the field already complete — a presence that touched down fully formed, needing only to be recognised.
How Phase 7 Was Revealed in a Dream
Arthur described its arrival as intimate and alive — a dream that stretched across dimensions and landed like a transmission. What came to him was less a technique to refine than a deepening of the body’s relationship with energy, symbol, and higher pattern.
It began on the night of March 6, 1975. After years of seeking a way to support the body’s self-correction through gentleness and presence, Arthur went to sleep holding a simple inner request:
“Seek and ye shall find.”
And he was answered.
In the dream, he was met by a radiant being — calm, kind, clear. Their presence carried no urgency, only clarity. They spoke of energy and how it could be felt, perceived, and shaped. Then came the image: a tall, pyramidal force extending above his head. He reached toward it with his hands, and the field responded. The sensation was immediate — a precise alignment, as though the body had attuned itself with an unseen order.
Sacred Geometry in Energy Work: Pyramid and Spiral
The dream continued with silent teachings. Arthur was shown how to sense and recognise this energetic form, and how it might shape the field of another through intention and attunement. The pyramid revealed itself as a doorway into a larger structure of knowing.
And then another symbol appeared: the spiral.
Simple, ancient, alive with motion, the spiral carried the teaching that energy is not linear or static but continually unfolding. It became the underlying pattern through which Phase 7 would express itself — guiding the practitioner’s awareness toward resonance with a natural intelligence that was already moving.
From Dream to Practice: Grounding Phase 7 in the Body
Arthur woke just four hours later, though the dream had felt timeless. Moving quietly so as not to disturb his wife, he sat in the dark and wrote for hours — drawings, words, recognitions flowing through him. The experience remained vivid, grounded, alive.
In the days that followed, he tested what had come. Hands in the field, sensing the pyramid, tracing the spiral. The work responded. Clients responded. The body responded. The shifts were subtle yet undeniable — a remembering that arose when the body touched the larger pattern of life.
Arthur understood that Phase 7 was not to be taught as a sequence or set of techniques. It moved through presence, symbol, and direct experience. Each encounter revealed only what was needed. Phase 7 was, and continues to be, a living pattern — unfolding through trust.
The Legacy of Phase 7 in Ortho-Bionomy
There is a tenderness to how this part of the lineage entered the world.
No fanfare. No branding. Just a dream, a prayer, and a willingness to receive what had been given.
Phase 7 continues to be shared in this way — quietly, relationally, through those attuned to its field. It speaks in stillness, when the practitioner steps back and listens. It moves through sensation, symbol, spiral, and breath. And when it becomes visible, it feels less like something invented and more like something that had been waiting — patient, timeless, ready to be seen.
