THE PHENIC SYSTEM
1. Phosphene.
2. Acouphene.
3. Gustatophene.
4. Pneumophene.
5. Osteophene.
6. Myophene.
7. Equilibrophene, Gyrophene
or Statophene.
8. Phene of the sense of smell -
Olfactophene or Aromatophene.
9. Tactuphene Sense of Touch.
10. The subjective perception of time.
1. Phosphene.
The phosphene corresponds to the sense of sight.
2. Acouphene.
The acouphene corresponds to the sense of hearing.
3. Gustatophene.
The gustatophene corresponds to the sense of taste and chewing.
In monasteries, monks eat silently while a brother reads a text.
The host also allows the production of very good gustatophenes, the taste lingering
for a long time.
(Remember the sensation of a taste and observe the evolution of your thoughts –
Memories connected to food).
4. Pneumophene.
The pneumophene is related to the act of breathing.
5. Osteophene.
The osteophene is provoked by the vibration of the skeleton.
6. Myophene.
The myophene is related to muscular activity. Cenesthesian sensations, sensations of
movement (movement of the rotation of an arm, followed by the observation of the
cenesthesian sensation).

7. Gyrophene.
This phene corresponds to the sense of balance, whose center is located in the inner
ear. It is this phene that produces the subjective sensation of moving or floating.
Unusual perception of space: the sensation that one’s body extends beyond the usual
spatial body scheme, with the impression of being larger than the limits of the body,
towards the infinitely big and sometimes towards the infinitely small. There can also
be a rhythmic pulsation of consciousness, oscillating between the infinitely big and
the infinitely small, sways and the sensation of floating.
8. Olfactophene.
This phene corresponds to the sense of smell.
In sacred places of worship, incense is used to stimulate the phene of the sense of
smell.
(Recall the sensation of a smell and observe the evolution of your thoughts –
memories, images, perception of smells and perfumes.)
9. Tactuphene.
This phene corresponds to the sense of touch.
The subjective sensation of a tactile perception. Its first manifestation is the
perception of the double: the sensation of being contained in « something » that is not
physical, a kind of very pleasant soft wadded cocoon. Then, during out of body
experiences, there is the perception of the ground we walk on and objects we touch.
These are genuine sensations of touch. There are also thermal sensations: cold, heat,
and sensations of pressure or lightness. A very strong sensation of emptiness.
10. The subjective perception of time.Certain experiences induce a loss of the normal perception of time. Often, the
experiences seem to last less than their actual duration. For example, a session of an
hour and a half can be perceived as lasting three quarters of an hour. Sometimes, an
experience seems to take place over a long period of time, when it has only lasted a
few seconds of real time. This latter aspect mainly occurs in a state of half-sleep.
All these phenes, and probably others which have not yet been detected (such as the
phene of the voice which could be obtained through auditory thinking) are, of course,
connected to each other. This is why, if a particular phene is stimulated, sensations
connected to another phene can be perceived.
Moreover, there is a third sensory system, which until now has been called "psychic
centers" or chakras. This system is connected to the phenic system. This third sensory
system is linked to consciousness. It is possible that, to a certain extent, these psychic
centers or chakras are organs of consciousness.
THE PHOSPHENE:
A multi-colored patch, that persists in the field of vision for 3 minutes, in the dark, after
having focused on a source of light for 30 seconds.

The term "phosphene" is derived from the Greek word "phainein", which means "to
appear", but also "to shine". In 1838, the Naturalist Lelorgne de Savigny used it to name
a variety of glow worms. The Physiologist Venzac used it to describe the spontaneous
sensations of light.
Doctor LEFEBURE created the term "Phosphenism"® from the word "phosphene".
The origin of this term comes from the Greek word "phos", meaning "light", reminding
us of Phoebus, the Sun.
THE 11 KEY WORDS OF PHOSPHENISM:
Phosphenic Mixing: consists in associating a phosphene to a visual or auditory thought
that has been prepared in advance.
Post-phosphene: this is the multicolored patch that persists in the field of vision, in the
dark, for three minutes after having focused on a source of light for thirty seconds.Phosphenic Mixing consists of associating a visual or auditory thought prepared in
advance to a phosphene.
Co-phosphene: this is the multicolored patch that persists in the field of vision for three
minutes, in the dark, after focusing on a source of light.
Cerebral alternation: corresponds to the alternating functioning of the cerebral
hemispheres as Dr LEFEBURE demonstrated in his book «Exploring the Brain through
Oscillations of Double Phosphenes». Phosphenic techniques permit the restoration of
the balance between the hemispheres and thus increase cerebral capacities as a whole.
Point of concentration: this is the visualization that accompanies all the exercises. It is
comprised of all the luminous mental images that tend towards the infinitely small: a
dot of light, a small sun, the flame of a candle...
Visual chaos (or aura): this is what we perceive in complete darkness or, in certain
cases, with the eyes open. It is a variety of phosphene. It is made up of milky patches or
sparks that are almost imperceptible. The practice of hunting for details in the visual
chaos will allow you to organize it and, with a bit of experience, you will be able to
trigger a genuine inner cinema.
Diffuse glow: this is the final phase of the phosphene. It is much paler than the others,
slightly grainy and milky grey.
Phosphenic salt: in an acid/base reaction, there is the production of a salt. Dr
LEFEBURE uses this metaphor to show that Phosphenic Mixing, by mixing a
phosphene and a thought, a new compound is produced. One can observe this upon
entering a room where a Phosphenism workshop has been conducted. The energy of the
room is very intense and can almost be touched.
Phenic system: this is the whole of the phenes, i.e. the whole of the physiological
intermediaries between the physical senses and the equivalent spiritual senses which,once awakened, produce the perception of intangible energies, events or universes

which cannot be perceived by the physical senses.
When the phenic system is stimulated, it provokes the perception of the spiritual planes
that traditions call «beyond», «invisible worlds», or «subtle planes».
There is an equivalent phosphene corresponding to all the other physical senses, adding
as well the sense of balance, muscular activity, breathing, a phene related to the skeleton
and the perception of time.
Rhythmic thinking: this consists of repeating the same thought in a rhythmic manner.
Rhythm structures thoughts and results in the amplification and addition of cerebral
energies. That is why all the exercises of Phosphenic Mixing are practiced at a
particular rhythm. The Mantratron, the Alternophone, the Synchrophone are devices
that permit one to work at a precise rhythm.
Rhythmo-Phosphenism: it is a deep study of Initiatory techniques. The latter, through
the increase of cerebral rhythms and intense energies, provokes extensions of
consciousness. Through amazing experiences, each person will discover that he has the
possibility of access to an inner universe that used to be reserved to a chosen few. A
detailed and in depth study of the phenomena and the initiatory experiences will allow
you to discover the foundation of an ancient universal knowledge.
