Psyche situates Mesmer within the genealogy of Western occultism and energy work, treating his theories as proto-scientific attempts to map invisible forces that later traditions would call prana, chi, or magical current. His legacy appears as a touchstone for understanding how consciousness and material reality intersect—a core concern animating readings and spiritual philosophy on the show.
