At a personal level (and this can be collective of course) you can gain knowledge of such things through practice. I have on several occasions had my heart chakra opened dramatically through specific guided mediations. The effects were undeniable to me, but I'd have a hard time proving them!
BTW, to answer your question about independent development of energy body teachings, etc., if you believe Castaneda, then Mexican cultures have been working on this for untold millenia.
