Behavioural addictions include things like sex, exercise, gambling, gaming, binge eating, cutting, etc. All of these activities release “feel good” chemicals (i.e., opiates) in the brain, like oxytocin. As with [[Substance Attachments]], any behaviour that reduces pain, offers release, and triggers the release of the endogenous opiates can easily become a [[Toxic Attachment]], when accompanied by a [[Dopamine Hit]]. </blockquote>

An '''Agent of Consciousness''' is an [[Agent of Socialization]] whose specific purpose is misdirect awareness from [[Authentic Spirituality]], sow confusion, and insert ideas and [[Old Energy Archetypes]] into the individual and [[Collective Consciousness]] of this planet. Agents of Consciousness help implant/propagate specific [[Creation Template|Creation Templates]]. Agents of consciousness include parents, teachers, movie producers, directors, actors, editors, and all agents whose job it is to help, either directly or indirectly, propagate the archetypes of a creation template.

==Notes==

Agents of Consciousness may be either witting or unwitting servants of [[The System]]. For example, parents who take their kids to Church for indoctrination do not because they understand this to be an action that helps propagate [[Old Energy Archetypes]], but because they believe that doing so will help their children. Parents are, usually, unwitting Agents of Consciousness.

Similarly, [[George Lucas]] is an unwitting System Agent. Believing he was working with the truth, he took religious ideas (read ideology) present for thousands of years, filtered them through the framework provided by the right-wing racist and anti-semite [[Joseph Cambell|Joseph Campbell]],<ref>Poletti, Jonathan. “Joseph Campbell Was a Right-Wing Racist and Anti-Semite.” ʙᴇʟᴏᴠᴇʀ (blog), 2022. https://medium.com/belover/joseph-campbell-was-a-right-wing-racist-and-anti-semite-eeb13d07515e.</ref> and presented them to the world in a razzle-dazzle format designed and aimed specifically at children.When he did this he did not believe he was helping the elites seed their [[Old Energy Archetyes|Old Energy Archetypes]]. He believed he was doing good. <ref>You can hear it all straight from the horse's mouth in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TpXdM3i5V0 this interview] with the deluded master himself.</ref><blockquote>
"The force is an amalgam</blockquote>The phrase Agents of Consciousness may refer to individuals or the institutions they work for. Institutional agents of consciousness include Hollywood, the media, the school system, religious organizations, and the families we grow up in. Individual agents include the writers, directors, advertising agents, school teachers, parents, news reporters, university professors, and others who work in the institutions.

Agents of Consciousness may insert [[Old Energy Archetypes]] or [[New Energy Archetypes]]

Agents of Consciousness may be more or less aware of the nature and purpose of the work they do.

===Examples===

Aa Yoga writer who writes spiritual drivel like these [https://wellbeingyogi.com/heart-chakra-mantras-for-self-healing/ heart chakra mantras]] ("Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Say So Hung"?!?!?) is probably an unwitting system agent, though in this case there is the possibility that the individuals responsible know they are obfuscating spirituality.

<blockquote class="definition">The '''Monolog of Impotence''' is a term used describe the "self-hate filled" internal dialog that a [[Physical Unit]] damaged by [Toxic Socialization]] engages in. </blockquote>

==Notes==

It goes something like this...

"I can't do this..."

"I can't do that..."

"I'm such a fuck up..."

"I'm such a loser...]

"I'm a hopeless reject..."

"I'm a violent ape..."

"I'm a useless sinner ..."

"I'm a cosmic waste."

Ending the Monolog of Impotence is one of the first steps a [[Physical Unit]] must take towards [[Healing]] the damage done.

A ''Flow Experience'' is an experience of being "totally involved" <ref>Csikszentmihalyi, Mihaly. “Play and Intrinsic Rewards.” Journal of Humanistic Psychology 15, no. 3 (1975): 43.</ref> in an activity. In this experience, [[Bodily Ego]] is set aside and [[Spiritual Ego]] takes control of the [[Physical Unit]]. </blockquote>

==List of Flow Experience Types==

[[Connection Experience]] > {{#ask:[[Is a::Connection Experience Type]]}}

==Notes==

Flow experiences are generally weak [[Connection Experiences]] with a focus on personal content (see [[Connection Axes]]). The individual may or may not be aware of the "flow" of their [[Spiritual Ego]].

Flow experiences are identified by Csikszentmihalyi.<ref>Csikszentmihalyi, Mihaly. “Play and Intrinsic Rewards.” Journal of Humanistic Psychology 15, no. 3 (1975): 41-63.</ref>

Flow experiences are typically associated with activities (games, mountain climbing, music <ref>Garces-Bacsal, Rhoda Myra. “Extending Flow Further: Narrative of a Filipino Musician.” ''International Journal of Music Education'' 34, no. 4 (November 2016): 433–44.</ref>, etc.) one is competent in. In a flow experience, one's attention becomes highly focussed on the activity, one merges with the action itself, one's becomes certain of one's actions.

There appear to be cross cultural variances in one's experience of flow. A Philippine musician emphasize connection to the other. "Another aspect that also differed markedly from the literature was the strik- ing importance of the other or one’s kapwa, as evident in Noel’s emphasis in connecting with the audience and getting them involved in his performance. He spoke of a oneness with the music and one’s self or with one’s instrument and how it extended to that union with each member of the audi- ence, which then served to transform and move each one into a different state of being."<ref>Garces-Bacsal, Rhoda Myra. “Extending Flow Further: Narrative of a Filipino Musician.” ''International Journal of Music Education'' 34, no. 4 (November 2016): 433–44.p. 441.</ref>

Flow experiences are ''autotelic,'' meaning the motivation and joy is in the activity itself, and not in any end goal (like winning, or for money).

Csikszentmihalyi speculates about conditions that would encourage flow experiences. The gist is that the activity should neither be too simple as to induce boredom or too complex as to induce anxiety and self-doubt.

Patsy Neal from ''Sport and Identity:'' "There are moments of glory that go beyond the human expectation, beyond the physical and emotional ability of the individual. Something unexplainable takes over and breathes life into the known life...Call it a state of grace, or an act of faith...or an act of God. It is there, and the impossible becomes possible...The athlete goes beyond herself; she transcends the natural. She touches a piece of heaven and becomes the recipient of power from an unknown source."<ref>Quoted in Grof, Christina, and Stanislav Grof. The Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth Through Transformational Crises. Penguin, 1990. https://amzn.to/2UtkgP1. o. 65</ref>

The CBC podcast IDEAS has a podcast episode discussing flow experiences in athletes. <ref>Zelazo, Suzanne. “Flow: Making the Impossible... Possible.” Accessed July 8, 2021. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/flow-making-the-impossible-possible-1.6077468.</ref>

Wrong action causes [[Disjuncture]]. Engaged in chronically, [[Disjunctive Feelings]] grow more intense. Sooner than you might think, self-medication becomes required.

[[Sin]] is wrong action that causes harm to another living being.

"Deadly sins" are highly disjunctive actions that lower [[CQ]]/increase disconnection.

Now the woman was grasping frantically at all things within her reach, and it seemed that she could not stand because of her great size..."Then the messengers answered, 'It is true.

<blockquote class="definition">'''Wakan''' (or wakonda) <ref>Rogers, Spencer L. The Shaman: His Symbols and His Healing Power. Illinois: Charles Thomas Publishers, 1982.</ref> is a term used by the plains Sioux and is syncretic with the LP concept of [[Force]].</blockquote>

==Syncretic Terms==

[[Force]] > {{#ask: [[Is a syncretic term::Force]]}}

==Notes==

Wakan is will, the force of will, action in the world. "''Wakan'' is not a mystery, something ethereal to be worshipped in the abstract. When Black Elk sings the western grandfather's song for Neihard--"The thunder nation is appearing, may you behold" -- his words reflect the emergence of warrior energy in the people.....Black Elk...learns that instead of passively receiving protection from the spirits, the must seize the power to live."<ref>Rice, Julian. Before the Great Spirit: The Many Faces of Sioux Spirituality. University of New Mexico, 1998. p. 23 https://amzn.to/2C9fM5E.</ref> It is the warrior energy, the power available to all people to take responsibility and act/change the world. The will and energy to change the world. The warrior's job, in addition to defense, is to invoke wakan energy in the people.

Wakan is a basic principle, antagonistic to notions of the "Great Spirit" which "was either a missionary imposition or an oversimplification of Lakota belief offered by elders attempting to explain their spirituality to non-Indians. When a person prays, he or she must already have a firm resolve and a basic plan. The spirits can only supply the tools, not the will or the purpose, and man must initiate the relationship." <ref>Rice, Julian. Before the Great Spirit: The Many Faces of Sioux Spirituality. University of New Mexico, 1998. p. 29.</ref>

'''Though ''wakan'' is usually translated as 'holy,' 'sacred,' or 'mysterious,' and Wakan Tanka is usually taken to mean 'Great Mystery or 'God,' the term probably [means] an all-suffusing cosmic energy obtained through personal visions." <ref>Rice, Julian. Before the Great Spirit: The Many Faces of Sioux Spirituality. University of New Mexico, 1998. p 21. https://amzn.to/2C9fM5E.</ref><ref>c.f. [[Fabric of Consciousness]].
