Charles Leadbeater along with Annie Besant described something very similar to the Higgs field (The Higgs field is a quantum field that is believed to permeate the entire universe) over 50 years earlier in Occult Chemistry. He explained that an incredibly dense substance, which he called koilon, permeates the entire universe, and that every atom of matter corresponds to an empty bubble in this incredibly dense substance. It helps to think of the universe as a mirror image of another reality (the anti-universe) where empty space is not empty but is filled with dense koilon, and where particles are not matter but are empty bubbles. If our universe is positive existence, then the anti-universe is negative existence (see below figure).
Empty bubbles in koilon in the anti-universe correspond to particles of matter in our universe
