==Notes==

Evolution is driven externally by environmental experiences.

Evolution is directed internally by Consciousness.

The teleological goal of evolution is the development of [[Physical Unit]]s capable of high [[CQ]], and the development of a [[Pinnacle Species]].

[[Graduation]] occurs upon completion of that goal.

A planet's evolution occurs in several stages

In the early stages, evolution occurs primarily as a process of environmentally driven mutation, survival-based selection of traits, and epigenetic adaptations.

In the early stages of evolution, [[Consciousness]] may impact the process. However, because of the absence of [[Sapient Life]], early-stage evolution is primarily [[Natural Evolution]].

At a certain point in a planet's evolutionary, [[Sapient Life]] evolves. When sapient lifeforms evolve, these typically take control of the environment. At that point, it becomes possible to create environments and direct evolution. As a species gains expertise and control, [[Natural Evolution]] gives way to [[Social Evolution]]. Over time, the significance of natural evolution declines while social evolution becomes the primary evolutionary driver.

The Flow is subject to [[Communication Error]]s caused by [[Wrong Thought]]

A goal of healthy human development is to ensure the Bodily Ego is healthy and strong enough so that it can connect with, discern, and integrate the Flow that emerges from sources outside the Bodily Ego.

[[Old Energy Archetypes]] corrupt and diminish The Flow, while [[New Energy Archetypes]] purify and enhance.

The Flow is enhanced during [[Connection Experience]]s when [[The Pipe]] is wide open and the [[Bodily Ego]] is more fully connected to the [[Spiritual Ego]].

The diminishing and destructive effect of old energy archetypes are enhanced during connection.

Flow is enhanced during [[Connection]].

The enhanced flow that occurs during connection, plus the presence of old energy archetypes, plus a damaged psyche and diminished self-esteem, can lead to [[Connection Pathology]]. It is important therefore that when one practices connection, one also works to heal the psyche and remove old energy archetypes. Failure to do so may lead to spiritual trauma, connection pathology, and (in rare cases) permanent psychological damage.

==Notes==

Chakra constriction usually occurs when an individual experiences negativity and pain as a consequence of chakra activation. For example, a child with an active voice chakra may express themselves in poetry. However, if an adult shames that child for their poetry, the resulting emotional and psychological pain may lead them to stop writing poetry, or to hide their efforts. This represents a constriction of chakra energies.

<blockquote class="definition">
The '''Seven Pillars of [[Authentic Spirituality]]''' are seven characteristics or pillars upon which all authentic [wiki]Connection Framework[/wiki]s, all spiritualities and religions, should be built. These pillars state that authentic connection frameworks should be fruitful, accessible and inclusive, grounded and embodied, responsible and non-judgmental, empowering, logical and consistent, and empirical and verifiable.<ref>Sosteric.

==Non-LP Related Terms==

[[Authentic Spirituality]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related term::Authentic Spirituality]]}}

==Notes==

For a spirituality to be authentic, all pillars must be present.

The Buddha speaks of pillar five, the accessibility of authentic spirituality when he says "I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine: for in respect of the truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps some things back."<ref>Rhys Davids, T. W.. The Book of Great Decease: MAHA-PARINIBBANA-SUTTA (With Active Table of Contents). Kindle Edition. "</ref>

The Buddha alludes to pillar four, empowering, when he encourages his buddy Ananda to be an independent and empowered truth seeker: "'Therefore, O Ananda, be ye lamps unto yourselves. Be ye a refuge to yourselves. Betake yourselves to no external refuge. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp. Hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to any one besides yourselves.<ref>Rhys Davids, T. W.. The Book of Great Decease: MAHA-PARINIBBANA-SUTTA (With Active Table of Contents). Kindle Edition."</ref>

Wild Fox Koan...

===Pillar One: Accessibility and Inclusivity ===

1 Corinthians 14 contains a stipulation that spiritual teachings should be accessible and free of [[EPMO]].

<blockquote>Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? 7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? 8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? 9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church (1 Corinthians 14: 5-12).</blockquote>

===Empirical===

Marilyn Schlitz, Eugene Taylor, and Nola Lewis call for an expanded epistemology, a "radically empirical" epistemology, after William James. "A noetic sciences epistemology would focus on open inquiry and public (intersubjective) validation of knowledge, even while recognizing that these goals may be met only incompletely at any particular time. This epistemology would be "radically empirical" in the sense urged by William James: It would be phenomenological or experiential in a broad sense, including subjective experience as primary data in addition to physical-sense data. And it would address the totality of human experience -- reported phenomena would not be dismissed because they "violate known scientific laws."<ref>Schlitz, Marilyn, Taylor, Eugene, and Lewis, Nola, “Toward a Noetic Model of Medicine,” Noetic Sciences Review Fall//Winter, no. 47 (1998): 57.</ref>

==Notes==

Displacement is another tertiary ARM that distorts reality. Displacement is similar to projection in that we are shifting attention from our thoughts, behaviours, and actions, but in this case, we are shifting our negative emotions and behaviours from a risky target to a less risky one. For example, I had an issue with women for a long time because of the abuse my mother heaped upon me. I could never challenge my mother as a child or adolescent because if I did, the abuse became much worse. As a child, I learned that if I got angry with my mother, it was best if I just kept it to myself. My mother shut my anger at her abuse down, but it did not go away. For many years I displaced it towards other women who were “safer” targets. I did this until I finally became aware of what I was doing, being angry at all women because I couldn’t be angry with mom. Finally realizing my anger, and also realizing its roots, allowed me to instantly release that anger and transform my irrational fear. I say irrational because as an adult, I knew my mother couldn’t harm me anymore. Unfortunately, I was still operating with my childhood fear. When I realized, I released anger and fear and was able to move forward in a more authentic space.

[[Awareness Reduction Mechanisms]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related term::Awareness Reduction Mechanisms]]}}

==Notes==

Distortion is the first tertiary ARM we will look at. Distortion involves the deceptive reshaping of reality. When we distort things, we make them appear like something they are not. Distortion is an extension of denial and rationalization, often with a dose of intellectualization thrown in for good measure. When we deny the truth, rationalize, and make excuses, we are attempting to distort our perception of reality.

A good example of intellectual distortion is the common cultural trope “What does not kill you makes you stronger.” This trope basically sends the message that abuse and trauma are good for you because they build strength and character, and make you a better person. People invoke this trope every time their attention is drawn to the abuse and trauma they endured, or that they inflicted upon others. How many people do you know tell you that the abuse they experienced at home “builds character” or made them who they are? How many parents have you heard say that assaulting (i.e. spanking, disciplining, etc.) their children strengthens them and prepares them for life in the real world?

When individuals invoke this trope, they are trying to distort reality, because the trope is simply not true. There is lots of evidence to indicate even minor psychological trauma can cause serious, lasting damage. Major events like sexual assault do horrific damage. But, if you believe the cultural trope “what does not kill you makes you stronger,” you can distort your perception of reality and repress your burgeoning awareness of trauma and disjuncture by pretending that the damage you see, or that you cause, builds character and strength. Distortion helps you “not worry about it” so you can go have a happy drink with your boys or a yummy glass of wine with the girls. It is easier to forget and pretend if you can convince yourself that what happened to you, or what you did to others, isn’t that bad after all.

'''Financial Barriers''' to study are just that, financial. A [[Connection Framework]] that charges hundreds or thousands of dollars to access its materials a connection framework that has put up a financial barrier.

'''Emotional Barriers''' are barriers, like fear or anger, that make it difficult for a person to study certain materials. For example, a Catholic who fears "demons" may have a hard time studying information on channeling.

'''Cognitive barriers''' are barriers, like bias and misconception, that make it difficult for a person to study and understand certain materials. For example, a scientist who asserts [[Naive Materialism]] may have a hard time considering the reality of chakras or the existence of [wiki]Spiritual Guides[/wiki]. A Catholic who believes that only the Bible contains truth will have a hard time considering other traditions and systems.

'''Spiritual Barriers''' are barriers, like damaged brain structures, serious mis[[Alignment]] and [[Disjuncture]], that make establishing [[Connection]] difficult or even dangerous. A person with a severely damaged [[Bodily Ego]], for example, or a person who is severely out of alignment may resist connection or, if connection is made, may struggle to handle it in a grounded and sophisticated manner.

An instantiated point of Self Awareness is known, in gnostic traditions, as a [[Monad]]. Intensification of Consciousness creates [[Monadic Consciousness]].

Intensification of Consciousness to the point of [[Instantiation]] may be referred to as [[First Birth]].

The process of intensification is easily understood visually. Think of a large empty room full of mist. The mist is The Fabric of Consciousness. Now imagine the mist coalescing and thickening into a single intense spot. Imagine that at a certain point the mist gets dense enough and then imagine a single spot "lightning up" as a pinpoint of [[Light]] (i.e. a [[Star]]). The "star" that appears is the self-aware [[Monad]].

It is possible to unpack and examine the collective consciousness of a community, nation, or planet by extracting and examining the archetypes and ideas contained in the consciousness of the members of a specific community.

Collective Consciousness may be distinguished from [[Monadic Consciousness]].

[[File:RSGAS.jpg|250px|right|What is authentic spirituality?]]

"True religion, then, is not necessarily what goes on in the name of religion. Institutionalized religion is often a mistranslation of higher truths experienced by the truly religious, the founders of various religions. Religion in its basic connotation is a means of experiencing a higher level of consciousness. Religion, therefore, may not be considered as a body of sacred truths, but rather a method or a set of practices believed to achieve a state of awareness and feelings that takes us beyond the normal states of awareness and being, and to stand in a special relationship to something considered divine."<ref>Ramakrishna, K. Rao. “Some Reflections on Religion and Anomalies of Consciousness.” In Body, Mind, Spirit, 68–82. Charlottseville, VA: Hampton Roads, 1997. p. 71</ref>

[[Stanislav Grof]] says

<blockquote class="quotation">Authentic spiritual systems are based on ... systematic exploration of the psyche using well-defined mind-altering technologies. They are results of a process that in many ways resembles the scientific method.<ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. pp. 38.</ref></blockquote>

Authentic religion is religion that "nurtures people's relationship with whatever they hold sacred."<ref>Mahoney, Annette, and Kenneth I. Pargament. “Sacred Changes: Spiritual Conversion and Transformation.” Journal of Clinical Psychology, no. 5 (2004): 481-2.</ref>

Leo Tolstoy's [[The Kingdom of God is Within You]]<Ref>Tolstoy, Leo. The Kingdom of God Is Within You (Classics To Go) EBook: Leo Tolstoy: Amazon.ca: Gateway. Translated by Constance Garnett. CreateSpace, 2016. https://amzn.to/2Dg2jtj</ref> provides an extended discussion of the difference between an authentic understanding of Christ's teachings, and an unaligned, hypocritical, an inauthentic reading used to justify the status quo, rather than emancipate humanity, as Christ had intended. As with Einstein, Tolstoy felt that an authentic spirituality provided a ready-made solution to humanity's ills. It "solves all the contradictions and all his sufferings."

Authentic spirituality makes a difference, not within the extended time frames of [[Old World Spirituality]](i.e. years, decades, and lifetimes), but within short, workable, and verifiable time frames of days, weeks, and months. In other words, techniques and principles provided by an authentic spirituality will have an immediate and discernible positive impact.

===Wicca and Pagan Spiritualities===

Wicca and pagan religions are an attempt to develop/reclaim an authenticity lost in traditional mainstream elite exoteric religion. "The Pagan vision is one which says that neither doctrine nor dogma nor asceticism nor rule by masters is necessary for the [[Visionary Experience|visionary experience]], and that ecstasy ''and'' freedom are both possible." <ref>Adler, Margot. Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today. Boston: Beacon Press, 1986. p. xii.</ref>

"A common phrase you hear is "I've come home," or, as one woman told me excitedly after a lecture, "I always knew I had a religion, I just never knew it had a name." <ref>Adler, Margot. Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today. Boston: Beacon Press, 1986. p. 14.</ref>

Margot Adler's discovery of wicca was the culmination of a search for authenticity, a "ecological-religious framework compatible with my own politics and commitment to the world."<ref>Adler, Margot. Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today. Boston: Beacon Press, 1986. p. 19-20.</ref> Adler had a [[Connection Experience]] whereafter listening to a tape of some Wiccan rituals. "A feeling of power and emotion came over me." (p. 20).

Non repressive, general. "Many people said that they become Pagans because they could be themselves and act as they chose, without what they felt were medieval notions of sin and guilt." <ref>Adler, Margot. Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today. Boston: Beacon Press, 1986. p. 23.</ref>

Non repressive, feminism. A spirituality that honoured women, outside of the patriarchal mainstream. <ref>Adler, Margot. Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today. Boston: Beacon Press, 1986. p. 23.</ref>

[[The Body]] (or more specifically [[The Physical Unit]] may, out of guilt, shame, fear, and confusion, resist The Call and prevent awakening. In order to eliminate psychological resistance to awakening we must help clear confusion, we must transmute fear by putting aside desires for [[Punitive Justice]], and we must forgive so that guilt and shame may be dispelled and [[Consciousness]] may flow into the body.

Intellectualization is a form of informational positioning in which one concentrates on the intellectual components of a situation so as to distance oneself emotionally. For example, an individual who has experienced sexual assault seeks information on other cases and the psychology of rapists and victims. The individual takes self-defence classes in order to feel safer rather than directly addressing the psychological and emotional issues. Or, a pedophile having sex with 12-year-old intellectualizes by showing statistics that children legally marry adult men in some cultures.

{{archetypenotes}}

The Calling may also used to refer to the internal spiritual call to [[awaken]] to identity and purpose, [[activate]] the body's [[Energy System]], and participate in the culmination of [[The Great Work]] of [[Ascension]].

The Calling is typically experienced as a powerful internal urge to [[Awaken]] (i.e. figure out what's going on) and [[Atone]] (i.e. clean up for past [[Disjuncture|disjunctive behaviour]]. )

The Calling is based on an internal, biological drive, a cognitive need to know and understand things (see [[Seven Essential Needs]]. This drive can be suppressed, but is rarely destroyed. [[Spiritual Ego]] can prime this drive at appropriate junctures to encourage awakening and push for healing and reconnection.

Failure to heed The Call, i.e. resistance to the coded behaviour of awakening, has serious psychological and emotional consequences for the physical unit. If this drive is improperly ignored or improperly expressed, [[Guilt]], [[Shame]], [[Anxiety]], desperation, and other negative emotional and psychological sequelea can overwhelm the individual.

Archetypal revision is not difficult to accomplish if the process is conscious and voluntary. However, if the goal is involuntary revision, as for example happens during a military basic training program, or when a native population is '''colonized''' by an occupying force, various levels of violence may be required.

Archetypal revision may be referred to as [[Archetypal Cleansing]] when the process involves the removal of toxic [[Old Energy Archetypes]] and their replacement with emancipating and empowering [[New Energy Archetypes]]

'''Recognize, root out, and replace.''' As noted in LP Book 4, archetypal cleansings involve recognizing the existence of old energy archetypes, rooting them out wherever they exist in your ideas and consciousness, and replacing them with new energy alternatives.

The [[Lightning Path]] [[Triumph of Spirit Archetype System]] ([[TOSAS]]) is a toolbox that you can use to replace oppressive [[Old Energy Archetypes]] with empowering and salutatory [[New Energy Archetypes]]

Archetypal Cleansing is a special type of [[Archetypal Revision]] conducted when the process of revision involves removal of toxic old energy archetypes

==Related LP Terms==

[[Ego]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related LP term::Ego]]}}

==Non-LP Related Terms==

[[Ego]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related term::Ego]]}}

==Notes==

Human beings struggle to integrate two egos, a [[Spiritual Ego]] which is a "real" ego that emerges as the result of an [[Intensification of Consciousness]], and a [[Bodily Ego]], which emerges from the body's CNS.

The primary task of human [[development]] is the development of a healthy and strong [[Bodily Ego]] that is capable of "handling" a full measure of spiritual ego.

To achieve a healthy ego, ensure that all [[Seven Essential Needs]] are being met, from birth to death.

[[Toxic Socialization]] undermines the bodily ego and makes it incapable of containing a full measure of spiritual ego.

Most conceptualizations of ego do not distinguish properly between [[Bodily Ego]] and [[Spiritual Ego]]. For example, [[Edward Carpenter]] struggles to understand the emergence of ego, while amorphously flopping back and forth between a confused understanding of Spiritual Ego and Bodily Ego. Carpenter does correctly note however that the experience of perspective, conceived of as the experience of "separation," is a motivating force behind the instantiation of ego. "And so we find the first form in which the self fairly comes to consciousness is that of separation."<Ref>Carpenter, Edward. The Art of Creation: Essays on the Self and Its Powers. Ravenio Books. Kindle Edition.</ref>

===Cosmological===

Ego did not always exist. Before the [[Fabric of Consciousness|Fabric of Consciousness]] intensified into the monadic spark of [[god]], there was no ego, there was simply the blissful, but unaware, [[Fabric of Consciousness]]. However, at the point of the intensification, when god is born in The Fabric, so too is the first ego (i.e. I + eye + will) brought into existence.

This original monadic spark, and all subsequent [[Intensification|intensifications]] in the [[Fabric of Consciousness]] may be referred to as [[Spiritual Ego|Spiritual Ego]]

Daniel Paul Schreber<ref>Schreber, Daniel Paul. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness. New York: NYRB Classics, 2000. https://amzn.to/2U8Se6Q.</ref> provides a rather dramatic account of what can happen when [[Bodily Ego]] permanently collapses, thereby exposing the [[Bodily Ego]] to content, uncontrolled, and pathological contact with [[The Fabric]]. Schreber was a paranoid schizophrenic who recounted his [[Connection Experiences]] and the information that was "downloaded" from The Fabric. His memoir is an interesting recounting of spiritual truth mixed with psychotic and harmful delusions. The delusions probably arise from his incredibly toxic upbringing experiences, and the toxic ideas he had absorbed into his mental space as a consequence of the violence and indoctrination he endured. Daniel was a victim of the Moritz Schreber childcare system, a system of [[Toxic Socialization]] and childhood torture that emphasized "Suppression, control, [and] total obedience...' even to the point of threatening and instilling fear in infants.<ref>Schreber, Daniel Paul. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness. New York: NYRB Classics, 2000. p. xvi. https://amzn.to/2U8Se6Q.</ref>

Scharfstein carries on an interesting discussion of "psychotic mysticism" where he suggests that a mystical psychosis involves "the sense of drastic separation from everything....the loss of oneself in fusion with other people and things...and...fear and guilt that acquire a hallucinatory presence.<ref>Scharfstein, Ben-Ami. Mystical Experience. Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1973. p. 133 </ref> He cites the case of one Daniel Paul Schreber<ref>Schreber, Daniel Paul. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness. NYRB Classics, 2000. https://amzn.to/2U8Se6Q.</ref> who describe a nervous illness in which he had "nerve contact" with God, and that there were nerve-filaments that connected all other souls in the universe to each other, and that his filaments were poisoned and that "diseased nervous system." Essentially, Schreber is describing a diseased connection.

A damaged bodily ego does not have the strength to cope with and contain powerful Consciousness. Upon [[connection]] it may experience additional trauma. This additional trauma may further damage the bodily ego, leading to fragmentation (disordered thinking) or even dissolution ([[Personality Confusion]]).

[[Old Energy Archetypes]], coupled with emotional and psychological disease, can contribute to/exacerbate a psychotically tainted connection.

Egoic collapse may be rapid, arising from a single dramatic [[Connection Experience]], or it can unfold over time, for example as the result of long-term [[Entheogen Abuse]] by an individual raised in an extremely toxic environment.

==Notes==

=== Examples ===
The [[Great Invocation]] is a combination awakening, activation, and connection visualization.

Another example, visualize the consciousness of your body as a small ball of light rising up and leaving through the top of your head. Visualize this consciousness ascending up into a clear blue sky. Visualize a door high above. Visualize your consciousness going up to that door, opening it, and then moving through it. On the other side if a being of bright light and power. Approach that being, stand in front, and greet it.

Swami Brahamanda recommends reflecting/focussing on the Divine Form, as a perfect center of bliss. "Imagine that everything is shining through its lustre. Think of this effulgence as non-material and possessed with intelligence. This kind of meditation will later on develop into meditation on the formless and infinite aspect of God. In the beginning the aspirant has to take the help of imagination; later on, when he develops his spiritual sense, he will feel the presence of the Divine. Next, when he gets the highest spiritual vision, he will come face to face with Truth. He is then transported into a different realm altogether, of which this world of matter appears to be a mere shadow and, as such, some- thing unreal."<ref>Brahmananda, Swami. ''Spiritual Teachings of Swami Brahmananda''. 2nd ed. Mylapor, Madras: Sri Ramakrishna Math, 1933. p. 12.</ref>

On the [[LP]], '''Perfection''' is a word used to describe a state of existence whereby an individual is fully [[Alignment|aligned]], fully [[Activated]], and consequently perfectly and permanently [[Connected]] to their own [[Spiritual Ego]]. When one has perfected the [[Physical Unit]], one is capable of strong, pure, and persistance [[Connection]].

Perfection is the outcome of [[Healing]], [[Alignment]], and the practice and refinement of [[Connection]] the occurs over the course of many repeated [[Connection Experiences]].

Perfection is a goal of Yoga.<ref>Vivekananda, Swami. “The Powers of the Mind.” ''Collected Works of Swami Vivekananda''. Vol. 1. 9 vols. Advaita Ashrama, 2016. <nowiki>https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/SWAMI-VIVEKANANDA-COMPLETE-WORKS-Vol-1.pdf</nowiki></ref>

The [[LP]] [[Connection Framework]] provides a rubric for thinking about and practicing the requirements of aligned connection.

"In treading the Path, the Sufi ascends until perfection is reached, and in the perfect sain, God and [individual ego] become one again. Abd Al-Kaim Jili <ref>Margaret Smith, Readings from the Mystics of Islam (Westport, CT: PIR Publications, 1994), https://amzn.to/2MdrfqB</ref>

The "perfect man" is a concept in Islam referring to someone who has "purified" the self from ailments, complexes, ignorance, deviations, etc. <ref>Mutahhari, Murtadha. Perfect Man. Translated by Dr. Alaedin Pazargadi. Iran: Bethat Islamic Research Center, Unknown. https://www.al-islam.org/perfect-man-murtadha-mutahhari.</ref>

In Christianity, the concept of ''perfection'' refers mostly to alignment.

[[Maria Sabina]], a Mazatac [[Wise One]]/Shaman, after many years of connection practice, claims perfection. "I had attained perfection. I was no longer a simple apprentice. For that, as a prize, as a nomination, the Book had been granted me. When one takes the ''saint children'', one can see the [[Principal Ones]]. Otherwise not.<ref>Maria Sabina quoted in Estrada, Alvaro. Maria Sabina: Her Life and Chants. Translated by Henry Munn. Santa Barbara, California: Ross-Erikson, 1981. p. 47.</ref>

In esoteric and exoteric religious traditions, the notion of perfection is often corrupted and cast as part of the [[Fool in School]] archetype, which says we need to suffer, meet challenge, and learn lessons in order to achieve perfection. "...perfection is indeed the goal of every human life but that it may take many lifetimes to achieve...Failing to reach full realization in this life doesn't damn you to perdition; it simply means you'll have to come back again and again until you get it right."<ref>Smoley, Richard, and Jay Kinney. Hidden Wisdom: A Guide to Western Inner Traditions. Illinois: Quest Books, 2006.</ref>

<blockquote class="definition">'''Stage Six''' Reconnection is the penultimate stage of a planet's evolutionary process. It occurs when a planet's economic and administrative expertise evolves to the point where planetary systems of government become possible. At that point, [[Healing]] and [[Reconnection]] processes are initiated and the planet begins to move towards reconnection and [[Graduation]].

==Notes==

Stage six is marked by the evolution of advanced communication systems. When communication systems have developed sufficiently to enable planetary administration, global awakening is initiated.

Stage six is considered complete when a planet's [[Pinnacle Species]] establishes a peaceful global government that unifies the planet's people and devotes itself to full satisfaction of the [[Seven Essential Needs]], rather than greedy accumulation.

Once stage six is complete, a planet can move on to [[Stage Seven]].

Two main challenges mark the penultimate stage of planetary evolution.

The number one challenge is healing the damage done to the [[Physical Unit]] by [[Toxic Socialization]] during [[Stage Five]] in order that the species might collectively re[[Connect]]. Stanislav Grof clues into this in his article "Technologies of the Sacred - Part Three" where he discusses [[Connection Experience]] as an important tool to help heal the planet.<ref>Stanislav, Grof. “Technologies of the Sacred, Part Three.” The International Journal of Humanities and Peace 19, no. 1 (2003): 104. https://www.lightningpath.org/readings/Technologies_of_the_sacred_III.pdf</ref>

The number two challenge is overcoming violent and desperate resistance to peaceful unification of a planet's people from those who benefit financially and politically from the [[Stage Five]] economic [[System]]

'''Stages of Awakening.''' Stage Six is broken down into three distinct "stages of awakening." Stage One completed 2016, Stage Two completes approximately 2025. Stage Three completes when a 9/10ths majority is firmly on the path to healing and reconnection. Note that Stage Three awakening requires a fundamental revision of this planet's economic system, a revision that facilitates a fair redistribution of wealth.

<blockquote class="definition">'''Discernment Red Flags''' are warning signs that an individual can use to help distinguish/[[Discernment|discern]] between an [[Authentic Spirituality]] likely to lead to [[Connection]] and an inauthentic spirituality and inauthentic teachers likely to lead towards [[Disjuncture]] and [[Disconnection]].</blockquote>

==Notes==

Several discernment red flags exist including:

* Identity Flags: Flags that point to ego damage and/or ego corruption and may thus indicate forms of mental distortion or illness that may corrupt the stream.
* Behavioral Flags: Flags that provide hints on the quality of an individual's connection to The Fabric of Consciousness.
* Quality of Teaching Flags: Quality of teaching flags that provide clues on the commitment of the individual to their purpose and mission.
* Ideological Flags: Flags give indications on the trustworthiness of the individual's teachings based on the presence of self-serving, special interest, ideology.

The presence of Discernment Red Flags does not necessarily invalidate a message stream, but it should cause caution and raise critical questions.
