'''Intramonadic Communication''' is a [[Connection Outcome]]. Intramonadic communication is communication between the [[Bodily Ego]] and [[Spiritual Ego]], or some monadic location with [[The Fabric of Consciousness]].It usually occurs as a consequence of the [[Enhanced Connection]] that occurs during a [[Connection Experience]], but can also occur as a consequence of [[Synchronicity]], [[Automatic Writings]], and [[Trance Channeling]].

==Notes==

Immanuel Kant discusses the possibility of IMC in the context of [[Indirect Mystical Experience]]. "According to Kant, influxes from the spirit-world can cause “analogous” sensible images or representations to arise in the mind of certain imaginatively sensitive people. Such people, like Swedenborg, would be able to decipher these symbolic images and thereby become indirectly aware of the spiritual realities at their basis."<ref>Maharaj, Ayon. “Kant on the Epistemology of Indirect Mystical Experience.” Sophia 56, no. 2 (June 2017): 317. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11841-016-0528-y.</ref> Kant, however, notes that there is an epistemological challenge in sorting out real "spirit sensations" from those "mixed up with various figments of the imagination....The mystic perceives a chaotic jumble of equally vivid sensible images and is unable to determine which, if any, of these images has a veridical spirit-influx at its basis."<ref>Maharaj, Ayon. “Kant on the Epistemology of Indirect Mystical Experience.” Sophia 56, no. 2 (June 2017): 318. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11841-016-0528-y.</ref>

[[William James]] relates the experience of a forty-nine year old engaged in intramonadic communication with God. "God is more real to me than any thought or thing or person. I feel his presence positively, and the more as I live in closer harmony with his laws as written in my body and mind.<ref>Note the unmarked reference to [[Alignment]] here</ref> I feel him in the sunshine or rain; and awe mingled with a delicious restfulness most nearly describes my feelings. I talk to him as to a companion in prayer and praise, and our communion is delightful. He answers me again and again, often in words so clearly spoken that it seems my outer ear must have carried"<ref>James, William.

By "life-threatening" it is not meant that one's life is in immediate danger. However, chronic and deep depression, or a life lived in a state of learn-helplessness, is characterized by a heightened risk of self-harm, suicide, accident and chronic illness.

Connection experiences are '''the cure for consumerism, violence, intolerance, even unhappiness.'''

Stanislav Grof notes that the use of [[Connection Supplements]] or [[Connection Practices]] reduce aggression, increase compassion and tolerance. He also notes a reduction of the "insatiable drive to pursue linear goals," reduction in the belief that "more is better," and emergence of "spirituality of a universal and nondenominational nature characterized by the awareness of unity underlying all of creation an a deep connection to other people, other species, and the entire cosmos." <ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC.</ref>

Satisfaction of the seventh essential need - connection. "Only the experience of one's divinity in a non-ordinary state of consciousness can ever fulfill our deepest needs."<ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p 67.</ref>

Grof also notes that "Full satisfaction comes ultimately from the experience of...our own divinity, not the pursuit of material goals of any scope or kind."<ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p 8.</ref>

Grof “When people get involved in self-exploration using non-ordinary states of consciousness, it is not necessary to teach them ecology or ethics. When they have transpersonal experiences, their systems of values changes automatically and they develop deep ecological awareness, tolerance, and compassion… and [the sense of a much larger identity].” <ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p. 130.</ref>

[[Spontaneous Alignment]] Grof "I believe that there is a system of core values which are transpersonal, which transcend those of the existing cultures. It is an ethical system that emerges spontaneously out of profound mystical experiences. It includes values upon which people from different cultures who have had these experiences would agree. I have seen this phenomenon repeatedly in our work." <ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p. 1220.</ref>

Jantzen points out that union with God is a primary concern and ultimate goal of mystics like [[Bernard of Clairvaux]] <ref>Jantzen, Grace M. "Mysticism and Experience." Religious Studies 25 3 (1989): 295-315.</ref>

Union is sometimes expressed as sexual/intimate union. Agrippa of Aubigne writes a romantic ode to intimate connection with the Goddess. See this entry's [http://spiritwiki.lightningpath.org/index.php?title=Talk:Union_with_God discussion page.]
