Le Flux Magnétique et les Savoirs Anciens (The Magnetic Flow and Ancient Knowledge) is the programmatic book in French published by Marco Paret in 2017. It constitutes the systematic synthesis of the vision of the Paret Method School on the relationship between human magnetism, ancient traditions (Hippocratic medicine, Paracelsian alchemy, Hermeticism), and fascination as a fundamental therapeutic device. The book precedes by nine years the Springer scientific papers on polyvagal theory that the School will publish in 2026, and shows how the same vision was already articulated, nine years earlier, in the language of the European magnetic-alchemical tradition.
The work is considered by the School as the founding manifesto of the wiki's third axis — the axis dedicated to Non-Verbal Communication and magnetic practice — and one of the main sources for the pages Tria Prima, I sei tipi caratteriali nella mappa polivagale, Magnetismo terapeutico and Presenza Integrale.
I. Structure of the work
The book is divided into fifteen chapters that proceed from general magnetic phenomenology to specific practices of fascination and analgesia. The original table of contents is as follows:
- Préambule and Introduction — the autobiographical account of the encounter with Virgilio and with the master Erminio Di Pisa, the discoveries that led Paret to structure his magnetic practice.
- I. La globalité des quatre grands axes de la méthode — integrated vision of the method as a meeting of four axes.
- II. Les quatre grands axes:
- A. La phénoménologie magnétique
- B. La Médecine Traditionnelle Grecque et Moyenâgeuse
- C. Paracelse et l'alchimie humaine
- D. La présence à l'instant
- III. L'Energie des Corps Subtils
- IV. Le principe de polarité et le rapport magnétique
- V. Le magnétisme et les ondes cérébrales
- VI. Le mystère du sang et ses effets magnétiques
- VII. L'analyse des différents tempéraments
- VIII. La personnalité du magnétiseur
- IX. La puissance du regard
- X. Le procédé de fascination
- XI. La fascination et l'extase
- XII. La compréhension de l'aspect fonctionnel du corps
- XIII. Les pratiques
- XIV. Science et savoirs anciens
- XV. Conclusion
II. The four great axes of the method
Part II of the book sets out the four-part structure that characterizes the entire framework of the School and that returns, under other names, in the 2026 Springer papers and in the Presenza Integrale protocol candidate for Federmindfulness.
A. Magnetic phenomenology
Paret describes magnétisme as a "void force of cosmic origin" that the magnetizer channels into the therapeutic relationship. The phenomenological description explicitly distances itself both from 19th-20th century "scientific" magnetism (fluid reduction) and from "psychological" magnetism (suggestive reduction): magnetism is a dimension proper to the living being, recognized by all serious therapeutic traditions before the industrialization of medicine.
B. Traditional Greek and medieval medicine
The book details the doctrine of the four humors (Sanguine, Bilious/Choleric, Melancholic, Lymphatic/Phlegmatic) as inherited from Hippocrates, Galen, and Arabic medicine. It shows how each humor corresponds to an element (Air, Fire, Earth, Water) and a quality (hot/cold × wet/dry), forming a diagnostic grid that is still operative today in the non-verbal assessment of the client.
The novelty of the book is the astral integration: each temperament is declined into two planetary sub-types depending on the prevailing astral influence. A Choleric can be Martial (aggressive, conquering) or Solar (expansive, proud); a Sanguine can be Jovialis (jovial, expansive) or Vénusien (seeking life's pleasures). This doubling produces eight sub-types that Paret notes were experimentally confirmed by Hans Jürgen Eysenck in the 20th century with his axes of neuroticism/extraversion/psychoticism.
C. Paracelsus and human alchemy
The theoretical heart of the book. Paret expounds the Paracelsian Tria Prima — Souffre, Mercure, Sel — and shows how from the three principles arise seven temperament types: the three pure ones (Souffre, Mercure, Sel), the three binary combinations (Souffre+Mercure, Souffre+Sel, Sel+Mercure), and the coordinated ternary Souffre+Mercure+Sel which corresponds to the Mercurio Filosofico or Stato integrato.
A specific map in the book associates the three Paracelsian principles with the physiological tripartition of French constitutional medicine (Carton, Picard, Martiny):
- Souffre = vasculaire system (cardiovascular, dynamic, voluntary)
- Mercure = diencéphalique system (neuro-endocrine, sensitive, communicative)
- Sel = hépatorénal system (digestive-depurative, calm, stabilizing)
This association is one of the original contributions of the book to the field of constitutional typology.
D. Presence in the moment
The last axis of the method is présence à l'instant — the continuous work on the consciousness of the present moment as a therapeutic and initiatory practice. Paret writes:
- "En travaillant intensément la présence à l'instant, on aboutit à un état lumineux dont la pureté correspond à l'axe de la trame temporelle."
Nine years before the formalization of the Presenza Integrale protocol (2026, candidate for Federmindfulness), the 2017 book already contains the central operational principle: presence is not a philosophical category but a recognizable and trainable bodily state, whose traditional practices are compatible with therapeutic magnetism and enhance its effectiveness.
III. The four elements, the three principles, the seven types
Chapter VII of the book contains the richest typological matrix of the work, which is the basis of the page I sei tipi caratteriali nella mappa polivagale.
The sequence that Paret traces is as follows:
- The four elements of Empedocles (Air, Fire, Water, Earth) correspond to the four Hippocratic humors;
- The three principles of Paracelsus (Souffre, Mercure, Sel) correspond to deeper qualities of the four humors, and organize the combinations;
- From the combinations arise seven temperament types (3 pure + 3 binary + 1 ternary);
- Each type further declines into planetary sub-types (8 astral sub-types);
- Eysenck and modern experimental psychology confirm the grammar;
- Magnetic practice and fascination work directly on the disharmonies of the individual.
IV. The Hermetic triangle of the magnetizer
One of the most characteristic figures in the book is the Hermetic triangle that describes the magnetic act:
- "Lorsque le magnétiseur touche la personne avec ses deux mains, il représente ce concept. Le triangle a un point supérieur célestement mercuriel connecté à deux points terrestres (sel-souffre) situés en bas."
The magnetizer channels the mercurial vertex of the divine trinity through the duality of his own hands — which correspond to Souffre (active hand) and Sel (receptive hand). This figure is taken up, under a different vocabulary, in the 2026 Springer papers when they describe the polyvagally regulated operator who co-regulates through presence the dual sympathetic-dorsal activation of the client.
V. Magnetic fascination of the eye
Chapters X-XI of the book expound the doctrine of fascination as the practical center of the method. Paret writes:
- "Lorsqu'il fascine, il puise son incommensurable flux dans une puissante autre réalité. Sa connotation est quantique comme le sont les quatre éléments de la médecine ancienne grecque."
The techniques described are those of the Donatist tradition (see Donato — Il Padre della Fascinazione, Maestro Dante Caravelli, Prof. Erminio Di Pisa — Ipnosi con lo Sguardo), integrated with the alchemical doctrine of the three principles. Fascination is described as an act in which the magnetizer activates his own integrated Mercury and transmits it to the other's system to stabilize their disharmonies.
VI. Continuity with the 2026 Springer papers
The themes of the 2017 book return, reformulated in contemporary neurophysiological language, in the two 2026 Springer papers of the School:
- Springer Paper 5 (Hypnosis, Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic Liberation) — takes up and formalizes in Porges' vocabulary presence, fascination, temperaments as polyvagal states, the operator as co-regulator.
- Springer Paper 8 (Polyvagal mixed states - 6 types) — systematizes the map of the six polyvagal states, introduces the notion of ergic profiles (hyperergic/hypoergic/normoergic) and of blocked hyperergia, and describes the somatic liberation sequence that corresponds to the mesmeric crisis of modern Mesmerism.
The School reads this continuity as confirmation of the solidity of the vision set out in 2017. It is not a vision that has been "updated" to keep pace with neuroscience: it is a vision that already had its reasons in the language of alchemy and the magnetic tradition, and that polyvagal theory has allowed to be retranslated into a grammar acceptable to the international scientific community.
VII. Notable quotations
Three quotations from the book that express the School's vision particularly clearly.
On the unity of microcosm and macrocosm:
- "Microcosme et Macrocosme s'amalgament pour exprimer les particularités énergétiques des Quatre Eléments adaptées à chaque cas. Comme toute chose, les astres épousent et traduisent le concept des Quatre Eléments qui les habite."
On the nature of the three principles:
- "Le Mercure est liqueur, le Souffre est oleité et le Sel alkali. Le Sel nourrit le Mercure et le Souffre lorsqu'ils agissent sur lui."
On the final goal of the work:
- "De l'Unité tirez le nombre Ternaire et ramenez le Ternaire à l'Unité."
The last quotation, of Paracelsian origin, is the cardinal axiom of the entire work: from the work of separation of the three principles to their reunion in a higher unity — the Mercurio Filosofico or Stato integrato or Presenza Integrale that the School recognizes as the final goal of inner and clinical work.
