To achieve a stronger connection, work on each of the focus points.

To strengthen control of your connection, work on these focus points.

The LP Connection Framework is introduced and discussed in Lightning Path Workbook Three.<ref>Sosteric. Lightning Path Workbook Three - Connection. Vol. 3. Lightning Path Workbook Series. St. Albert, Alberta: Lightning Path Press, 2017. https://press.lightningpath.org/product/the-lightning-path-book-three-connection/.</ref>

The framework can be visually represented with a Star of David. The lower star (awakening, accountability, and atonement) providing the necessary foundation for activation, alignment, and ascension.

'''Awakening''' - Like opening your eyes in the morning. Awakening to the actual reality around you and not the fantasy propagated by [[System Agents]] and [[Ideological Institutions]]

'''Accountability''' - being accountable for one's past and present actions, especially those that harmed others and self.

'''Atonement''' - making up for past bad actions, for past hurts inflicted on others, for exploitation and abuse.

'''Alignment - alignment with [[Spiritual Ego]], community moral codes, ethics.'''

'''Activation''' - activation and empowerment. Reclaiming one's ability to create a healthy world. Includes activation of the body's energy system.

'''Ascension''' - Union of [[Bodily Ego]] with [[Spiritual Ego]]

Stages of Attainment

[[Stages of Attainment]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related term::Stages of Attainment]]}}

==Notes==

Complicated and esoteric systems of awakening/attainment are not required. A simple five-level representation is suitable. Each level or stage thus represents the "condition" of the physical unit at the time of evaluation. The condition of the PU may be represented by the [[Consciousness Quotient|CQ]] (a dynamic, '''qualitative''' measure intended to give a rough indication of the "level" of consciousness in the body at a particular moment), and an empirically displayed level of mastery over reality. Attainment of each stage points the individual towards an increasingly complete and powerful [[Awakening and Activation]] of the [[Physical Unit]]. The stages of attainment can be summarized as follows:

*[[Novice]] - One who has begun to question.
*[[Initiate]] - One who has begun to practice.
*[[Adept]] - One who has begun to understand.
*[[Master]] or Magi - One who has begun to know, particularly through direct and pure [[Connection Experience]].
*[[Avatar]] - One who has begun to teach.

It should be clearly understood that these stages do not refer to the condition or quality of the [[Resident Monadic Consciousness]] (a mistake often encouraged by those who would keep power for themselves), but to the extent to which the physical, neurological, and conceptual apparatus of the [[Physical Unit]] has matured enough to allow significant inflows of [[Consciousness]]. Thus these are a measure of the extent to which [[The Vessel]] has been prepared and higher consciousness has settled into the [[Physical Unit]].

It should be noted that the mere influx of consciousness is insufficient to assess one's "level." High levels of [[Awakening]] can be associated with confusion, disorientation, and even madness, especially when [[Awakening]] occurs without [[Lightning Path|proper guidance]].

It should be noted that proper maturation of the [[Physical Unit]] depends not only on the individual's own efforts, but the efforts of those around him, from parents, through schools, media, government, to society. Proper nutrition, a loving, nurturing, and stimulating environment, are pre-requisites that not only enable healthy and strong maturation of the [[Physical Unit]] but also its full [[Awakening]], [[Activation]], and [[Ascension]].

There are two basic categorizations of attainment in Buddhism "...the ordinary person, called “the uninstructed worldling” (assutavā puthujjana), and the wise follower of the Buddha, called the “instructed noble disciple” (sutavā ariyasāvaka).<ref>Bodhi, Bhikkhu, ed. In the Buddha’s Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon. Wisdom Publications, 2005. p. 19</ref> According to Budda, these two classes of people react differently to the things of the world.

Connection Pathology

<blockquote class="definition">There are two uses of the term '''Connection Pathology.''' On the one hand, a connection pathology is the study of emotional, psychological, sociological, and physical causes of mental and emotional illness triggered and exacerbated by an experience of [[Connection Experience|Connection]]. On the other hand, a connection pathology is [[Connection Outcome]]. It is a psychological/emotional breakdown of the bodily ego caused by a [[Zenith Experience]] or a [[Nadir Experience]] of an intensity, duration, quality, or content that an individual is not prepared, or not capable (because of damage) of handling.

==Notes==

Both Zenith experiences and nadir experiences can lead to connection pathology.<ref>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.</ref>

[[Wrong Thought]], [[Wrong Action]], and [[Wrong Environment]] all increase the probability of connection pathology.

[[Right Thought]], [[Right Action]], and [[Right Environment]] increase the odds of healthy [[Connection Outcome]].

Atonement

<blockquote class="quotation">
'''Atonement''' is the process of "making it right." When you act in a way that causes the suffering of others, when you cross boundaries, violate another's free will, engage in deceit and deception, enrich yourself at the expense of others, pollute, fail to adequately assess your actions, or otherwise cause a "mess" in creation (i.e. when you "[[sin]]") then you must clean up you own mess. The more suffering you have caused, the more of a mess you have made, the bigger is your cleanup job.

==Notes==
<blockquote>For transgressions between a man and his fellow man, the Day of Atonement does not atone unless he has first reconciled his fellow man. Mishnah, Yoma, 8, 9 </blockquote>Atonement is a necessary prerequisite to [[awakening]] and [[activation]]. Until you have taken steps to clean up the messes you have made, [[guilt]], [[shame]], and [[fear]] will block forward movement and your progress on [[The Path]] will be limited difficult.

One of the key components of the '''Alcoholics Anonymous''' framework for cure and recovery is atonement, making amends and reparation for harms done to others. Atonement is Step eight of the AA Twelve Step program. <ref>Alcoholics Anonymous. ‘PASS IT ON’ The Story of Bill Wilson and How the A.A. Message Reached the World. Kindle. New York: AA World Services, 1984. https://amzn.to/2XKQNP5.</ref>

Note that atonement should not be confused with [[Punishment]]. Punishment is simply self-justified violence perpetrated against another living being. Atonement is clean up work pure and simple. In this context, you may atone for your sins in any way you choose, though ideally, you will work with (and for) those you have trespassed against. If this is not possible (e.g. if you are atoning for messes you have made in a past life, or if the people you have sinned against want nothing to do with you), then other actions are acceptable. Choose a course of action that you are comfortable with, even passionate about. For example, if you have polluted the environment, clean it up. If you have sexually molested children, work to heal and raise awareness. If you have engaged in the manipulation and centralization of energy (i.e. profit and accumulation), act to redistribute this energy to the people it belongs to. Let your consciousness be your guide here. The closer your actions are to the messes you created, the better you'll feel about the work you are doing.

Atonement was an important feature of peyote practice amongst the Winnebego. As one informant told Radin, "If a person who is truly repentant eats peyote for the first time, he does not suffer at all from its effects. But if an individual is bull-headed, does not believe in its virtue, he is likely to suffer a good deal."<ref>Radin, Paul. “A Sketch of the Peyote Cult of the Winnebago: A Study of Borrowing.” Edited by G. Stanley Hall. Journal of Religious Experience 7, no. 1 (1914): 1–22. p. 5.</ref>

<blockquote>Power corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together. When we say of somebody that he is "in power" we actually refer to his being empowered by a certain number of people to act in their name.<ref>Arendt, Hanna. On Violence. Orlando, Florida: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1969. p. 44.</ref> </blockquote>. in the book Arendt distinguishes between power, strength, force, authority and violence.
