Underhill uses the term [[Practical Man]] to refer to a disconnected individual, in particular, a [[Naive Materialist]] who cannot see beyond .<ref>Underhill, Evelyn. Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness. New York: Dover Publications, 2002. https://amzn.to/2C91xNY.</ref>

Disconnection results in the lowering of the [[Consciousness Quotient]] of the [[Physical Unit]], attenuation of higher [[Brain Functions|brain function]], and a consequent reduction in moral capacity, intelligence, compassion, empathy, intuition, creativity, independence, and identity.

Disconnection is caused by:

* [[The System]] and [[Indoctrination]] into the [[Ideology of Limitation]]
* [[Toxic Socialization]]
* Lack of Preparation
* [[Wrong Thought]], [[Wrong Action]], and [[Wrong Environment]] caused by [[Indoctrination]]
* Hurt, pain, chronic stress, and suffering of all types.

Disconnection leads to [[Disjuncture]] and [[Disconnection Pathology]]

[[Hell]] is the loneliness, isolation, anguish, pain, and despair that is often the result of disconnection

Petey Stevens was aware that unmet needs "close" or "shut down" and individual. "If a baby's caretakers are not available to the baby because of death or another absence such as work, are not supportive, or are abusive because of emotional immaturity or immorality, the baby grows up with negative 'charge' and self-destructive beliefs attached to his or her communications. The ... person is "shut down" or closed" to his or her soul's feelings or truth."<ref>Stevens, Petey. Opening up to Your Psychic Self. Nevertheless Press, 1983. p. ii</ref>

==== Rumi ====
Explains disconnection/heedlessness as necessary to the maintenance of the world. If it wasn't for disconnection, humans would not go about the tasks necessary to express the attributes of God. <blockquote>God created the universe to make the Hidden Treasure manifest. Hence He wants the world to exist in order for it to display the unlimited creative potentialities of His Attributes. But for the world to remain in existence, true knowledge of things as they are must be kept from most of its inhabitants. Otherwise they would cease to occupy themselves with activities necessary for the display of the full range of His Attributes. So God desires the existence of certain things which one might not expect; but of course not in themselves, but rather as the concomitants of His ultimate goal in creating the world. For example, God desires that heedlessness and forgetfulness of Him should exist in the world.<ref>Chittick, William C., and Rumi. ''The Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi''. Rumi SUNY Series in Islam. New York: SUNY Press, 1983. p. 58.</ref>

The world is kept standing through heedlessness. If there were no heedlessness, this world would not remain. Yearning for God, recollection of the next world, spiritual intoxication, and ecstacy are the architects of that world. If all these displayed themselves, every one of us would go to that world and not remain here. But God wants us here so that the two worlds may exist. So He has appointed two magistrates, heedlessness and heedfulness, so that both houses may flourish. (F 109/120)

The pillar of this world, oh beloved, is heedlessness: Wakefulness is this world's bane.

Wakefulness comes from that world; when it prevails, this world is laid fiat.

Wakefulness is the sun and cupidity the ice, wakefulness water and this world dirt.

A few drops trickle down from that world so that cupidity and envy may not roar too loudly in this world.

If the trickle from the Unseen should increase, neither skills nor failings would remain in the world. (M I 2066-70)</blockquote>{{template:endstuff}}

As Cortright notes<ref>Cortright, Brant. “An Integral Approach to Spiritual Emergency.” Guidance & Counseling 15, no. 3 (2000): 12.</ref>, "Most people think of spiritual growth as safe. The spiritual path may not be easy, but it is usually not considered dangerous. However, the world's spiritual traditions all warn about different dangers along the way, the “perils of the path.” New and expanded states of consciousness can overwhelm the ego. An infusion of powerful spiritual energies can flood the body and mind, fragmenting the structures of the self and temporarily incapacitating the person until they can be assimilated."

William and Janet C’de Baca note of individuals who have experienced "mystical quantum changes" (what we would define as an intense connection with profound content) are overwhelmed by the experiences. They "flood the person's thinking and feeling processes in such an intense manner that it is though the person is being redesigned."<ref>William R Miller and anet C’de Baca, Quantum Change: When Epiphanies and Sudden Insights Transform Ordinary Lives (New York: The Guildford Press, 2001).</ref>

Flooding is an observed risk when using high potency [[Connection Supplements]]<ref>Klee, G D. “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD-25) and Ego Functions.” Archives Of General Psychiatry 8 (May 1963): 461-474.</ref>. "Imagine the dilemma of the [[LSD]] subject whose cortex is suddenly turned on to a much higher voltage, who suddenly discovers his brain spinning at the speed of light, flooded by those 100 million sensations a second. Most of the awe and reverent wonder stems from this confrontation with an unsuspected range of consciousness, the tremendous acceleration of images, the shattering insight into the narrowness of the learned as opposed to the potentiality of awareness, the humbling sense of where one's ego is in relationship to the total energy field."<ref>Leary, T. “The Religious Experience: Its Production and Interpretation.” Journal of Psychoactive Drugs 3, no. 1 (1970): 76–86. https://doi.org/10.1080/02791072.1970.10471364. p. 338</ref>

Flooding can, in rare circumstances, lead to panic attacks, [[Ego Explosion]], [[Ego Bloating]], and can exacerbate underlying psychological and emotional issues.

==Notes==

The problem of ennui, the problem of what to do with yourself when you are immortal, is the primary problem of Consciousness. That is, the only thing [[Immortal Spirit]] ever really worries about is how to alleviate the crunching boredom that inevitably attends immortality.

An '''Initiation Experience''' is a moderate to powerful [[Connection Event]], usually a [[Zenith Experience]], that leads to dramatic insight, personal shifting, and increased motivation to [[Move Forward]].
</blockquote>

==List of [[LP]] Connection Experience Types==

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

==Notes==

Initiations (i.e., moderate to powerful connection experiences) often (though not always) lead to

* significant behavioural change
* significant change in values
* significant improvements in health and well being
* significant expansion of intelligence, awareness,and insight.
* significant increases in identity and presence

Initiation is the "initiation" of a process of spiritual growth and maturation whereby an individual pursues, with more or less conscious awareness, [[The Work]] of [[healing]], [[connection]], and [[integration]] which leads to [[perfection]] -- i.e. strong, pure, and persistant [[connection]].

Initiation is represented in the [[Triumph of Spirit Archetype System]] by the [[Initiation Archetype]].

Initiation refers to the removal of [[The Blindfold]], the activation of dormant genetic transcriptions, the climb out of [[darkness]] (i.e. delusion, self-delusion, and [[Maya]]), and the subsequent awakening, activation, and ascension of the physical unit and the physical [[World]].
