'''EPMO''' (pronounced ''ep-mo'') shorthand for the phrase '''Egotistical, Polly-syllabic, Multi-metaphoric, Obfuscation'''. This phrase is used to describe the tortuous correspondences, arbitrary associations, and toxic grammatical complexity used by some writers to obscure truth, divert attention, hide their own ignorance, and bolster their own ego. EPMO is common in esoteric and scientific writing but can be found anywhere ideology, ignorance, and damaged ego abound.

The absence of EPMO is a requirement of an accessible an [[Authentic Spirituality|authentic spirituality]].<ref>Sosteric. Rocket Scientists’ Guide to Authentic Spirituality.

'''Egotistical, polysyllabic, multi-metaphoric obfuscation''' (EPMO), a.k.a. '''Rocket Speak''' often occurs when a diminished and damaged ego uses unnecessary linguistic or metaphoric puffery to convey to others that it is superior in some way, or to convey the impression that it understands something that it does not. You often find EPMO in literary, academic, and/or intellectual circles. Linguistic or Literary EPMO is more common than metaphoric or visual EPMO, though metaphoric EPMO does exist, especially in artistic and/or esoteric circles.

The only known cure for EPMO is a good [[Fish Slap|slap in the face with a fish]]. Failing that, a sound giggle and some childish finger pointing often does the trick. If you are a victim of EPMO, you can self-treat by a) learning to not take yourself so seriously and b) repeating the following magical invocation, several times, with deep intonation, bended head, and downcast eyes: “Huck mir nisht a chynick, and I don’t mean efsher.”

Is "speaking on tongue" a Christian form of EPMO? In [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+14&version=NIV 1 Corinthians 14], the early Christian preachers advocate against the use of EPMO.

Aleister Crowley is the king of EPMO.

Connection Therapy is psychological therapy that uses various [[Connection Practices]] (including the use of [[Connection Supplements]]) to facilitate access to suppressed materials. Connection therapy is aimed at facilitating insight and analysis. Connection therapy leverages the power and wisdom of one's [[Spiritual Ego]] (or some other location within the [[Fabric of Consciousness]], to help with the healing process.

==Notes==

Connection therapy may be conducted with the use of [[Connection Supplements]], like [[LSD]]. [[Grof, Stanislav|Stanislav Grof]] pioneered two types of [[Connection Therapy]], [[Psychedelic Therapy]] and [[Psycholytic Therapy]].

Connection Therapy facilitates connection to deeper levels of the human psyche, as well as connection with "transpersonal" realities--in LP nomenclature. Operationally, connection therapy helps blast through various [[Awareness Reduction Mechanism]]s, making the client aware of various psychological traumas, and putting them in touch with their own [[Spiritual Ego]], or with some other location in [[The Fabric]].

Grof considers connection therapies superior to [[Verbal Therapies]]. He notes, "From the practical point of view, it seems that the confrontation of transpersonal levels of the unconscious might be a condition ''sine qua non'' for effective treatment of certain clinical conditions."<ref>Grof, Stanislav. ''Theoretical and Empirical Basis of Transpersonal Psychology and Psychotherapy: Observations from LSD Research.'' Journal of Transpersonal Psychology 5, no. 1 (June 1973): 15–53. p. 51. </ref>

Grof notes that [[Connection Therapy]] works by putting oneself in touch with one's own "healing intelligence" or "inner healer."<ref>Grof, Stanislav. Psychology For the Future: Lessons from Modern Consciousness Research.” ''Spirituality Studies'' 2, no. 1 (2016): 3–36. p. 31. https://www.spirituality-studies.org/dp-volume2-issue1-spring2016/#2.</ref> In LP terms, connection therapy works because it helps [[Connection|connect]] you to your powerful [[Spiritual Ego]] or some other location with thin [[Fabric of Consciousness]]

Connection therapies are not magic bullets. Our planet's socialization system is extremely toxic (see [[Toxic Socialization]] and the damage done to an individual's brain and [[Bodily Ego]] is profound. A Grof notes, several sessions may be required to successfully process the full gamut of traumas created as a consequence of our violent and toxic system.<ref>Grof, Stanislav. ''Theoretical and Empirical Basis of Transpersonal Psychology and Psychotherapy: Observations from LSD Research.'' Journal of Transpersonal Psychology 5, no. 1 (June 1973): 15–53. </ref>

<blockquote class="definition">'''Spiritual Ideology''' is a collection of spiritual ideas, archetypes, and spiritual ideals designed specifically to promote and support particular economic or political agendas.

Religion is designed as a vehicle for spiritual ideology.

The Western Tarot deck, as designed and promulgated by 19th and 20th century Freemasons, is a vehicle for spiritual ideology (Sosteric, 2014).
