==Notes==

Spirituality is about connecting your [[Bodily Consciousness]] to your highest [[Consciousness]]. Being spiritual means working consciously towards achieving strong and persistent connection to [[Consciousness]].

Physical, emotional, psychological, social, economic, and political process that encourage and facilitate stronger [[Connection]] are spiritual.

Spiritual systems are systems designed to teach how to connect. Spiritual practices are practices designed to make connection. Spiritual tools are tools designed facilitate and support connection.

==Notes==

The physical unit consists of the body. The body includes the brain and CNS since the brain and CND provide the biological/neurological foundations for "mind" and [[Bodily Ego]], when we say the physical unit we mean the body and the mind which emerges from the neurological activities of the body.

The physical body consists of hardware and software. The hardware of the physical unit consists of the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and cells of the body. The software consists of a) the "autonomous" algorithmic programs (e.g., instincts) that keep the body operating, and provide instinctual guidance and defence and b) the [[Bodily Ego]], which can be likened to the body's Artificial Intelligence.

The phrase '''Physical Unit''' (PU) refers to the physical body, specifically as it functions as a container for [[Monadic Consciousness]]. The physical unit consists of the physical body itself ''and'' the mind that emerges as a consequence of the neurological and quantum operations that occur inside the nervous system of the physical unit.

The Physical Unit is a vessel designed specifically to allow [[Consciousness] ([[Spiritual Ego]])) to survive, thrive, experience, and create <u>within</u> physical creation.

The Physical Unit has a “dual consciousness” consisting of a [[Bodily Ego]] and a [[Spiritual Ego]].

The physical unit is a container for Consciousness. "The belief, the knowledge, and even the experience that our physical world of the senses is a mere illusion, a world of shadows, and that the three-dimensional tool we call our body serves only as a container or dwelling place for Something infinitely greater and more comprehensive than the body and which constitutes the matrix of the real life--this surely is the most powerful idea man [sic] has ever concieved.<ref>Kalweit, Holger. Dreamtime and Inner Space: The World of the Shaman. Boston: Shambhala, 1988. p. 9</ref>

The physical unit's prime directives are to survive and thrive, both of which require the [[Seven Essential Needs]] be met.

The '''Physical Unit''' refers to your physical body and all its various

: '''structures''' (e.g. brain, hippocampus, heart, skin, neurons, etc.),
: '''functions''' (e.g. [[Survival]], [[Connection]], and [[Expression|Expression]]) and
: '''energy flows'''

that create a living vehicle capable of containing [[Consciousness]].

The physical unit contains a [[Bodily Ego|Bodily Ego]] that properly nurtured, healthy, and supportive, is, a reflection of [[Spiritual Ego|Spiritual Ego]]/[[Highest Self|Highest Self]].

The PU may be conceptualized as a ''manifestation device,'' or a device designed to allow [[Consciousness|Consciousness]] to express within and manipulate the physical universe. As such, the physical unit was [[Intelligent Design|designed]] as a vehicle capable of expressing all [[Facets of Consciousness|Facets of Consciousness]] within the confines of the [[Physical Universe|Physical Universe]].

[[Development|Development]] is the process of protecting, nurturing, and supporting the physical unit so it can contain high levels of Monadic Consciousness. Proper development requires satisfaction of the [[Seven Essential Needs]]

Using archetypes provided by the [[TOSAS|TOSAS]], we may say that the goal of [[Development|human development]] is a [[Strength Archetype|strong]], [[Power Archetype|powerful]], fully [[Emancipation Archetype|emancipated]], fully [[Connection Archetype|connected]], [[Star Archetype|fully functioning]] physical unit.

Ideally one wishes to manifest inside a fully developed, healthy, and fully functioning physical unit. [[Toxic Socialization|Toxic Socialization]] and a violent and abusive [[The System|system]] prevent proper development, [[Disconnect|disconnect]], and damage the physical unit. Damage occurs to the PU through accidental or deliberate trauma, abuse, and neglect. Damage causes disconnection and lowers the [[CQ]] of the physical unit and leads [[Pathology|Pathology]] from which the individual must heal.

Cognitive Wall

==Notes==

We implement a cognitive wall for emotional reasons, like low self-esteem (we erect the wall because we are afraid that if we try to understand, we won't), avoidance of painful awareness (we don't want to read a book on pedophiles because we are one, or we know one), because we reject something outright (atheists have a cognitive wall when it comes to discussions of God), or because we are indoctrinated to reject (Christians are indoctrinated to reject the tarot), etc.

You will know you have a cognitive wall if you pick up a normal book and simply cannot access the meaning of the words on the page. You will see the words, you will read them, but you will not be able to understand them, even when they are simple and straightforward. Cognitively, you will withdraw to another space. As you drift away, the words will lose all meaning.

Deficit Mode

'''Deficit Mode''' is a mode of operation of the [[Physical Unit]] that occurs when most of the available biological energy goes towards meeting unmet needs, protecting oneself from assault, and repairing damage caused by violence and neglect. </blockquote>

==Notes==

Abraham Maslow was aware of Deficit Mode, what he called Deficiency Motivation. "Most individuals, driven by unfulfilled needs for safety, respect, or esteem, construct value systems that express selfishness or anxiety about others; but those who are satisfied in their basic needs "can devote [themselves] to higher gratification [and are] more identified with humanity than any other group yet described."<ref>Maslow quoted in Edward Hoffman, The Right to Be Human: A Biography of Abraham Maslow (New York: McGraw Hill, 1999), 4395.</ref>

A physical unit in deficit mode creates conditions to support immediate satisfaction of needs.

When a physical unit enters deficit mode, lower centers in the brain preempt higher centers and take over control, assuming the power to drive the organism towards immediate needs gratification.

In an ideal situation, deficits are acute and satisfaction of needs proceeds as the normal and conscious result of daily activities of the individual and the social and economic networks. When ideal situations do not apply, daily deficits occur and may even accumulate over time.

When faced with chronic deficit, chronic assault, and chronic need to heal, all body systems, and all available energy resources, eventually turn towards satisfying unmet needs, defense, and healing. If you are thirsty and have not had a drink of water for two days your physical unit will do nothing but seek out fluids. The longer you go without fluids, the more desperate will your gratification activities become. Eventually you will devote all available bodily resources to the task of satisfying your need for water. The exact same dynamic applies to unmet psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs. These are real needs just like the need for water and when they are unmet the body devotes more and more of its resources to increasingly desperate attempts to meet the needs.

Chronic deprivation of needs leads inevitably to neurosis, psychosis, and even physical illness.

In serious cases of chronic deprivation and assault, the physical unit becomes disconnected (see [[Connection]]). In addition, higher cognitive functions, in particular self-awareness, are disabled. The disabling of self-awareness is a survival mechanism that allows the organism to pursue defense and gratification activities without concern for [Alignment]]. Serious long term assault and deficit may lead to [[Sociopathy]]

It is important to emphasize that even though chronic deprivation can lead to psychopathology, even sociopathy, we should not view the energetic focusing and lack of self-awareness that develops as pathological. Energetic focusing and the disconnection of the higher brain faculties is an adaptive response to survival exigencies naturally selected. [expand]

It needs to be said that even though the deficit mode of the physical unit is a natural result of environmental pressures, all personal, social, economic, and political efforts should be directed towards ensuring the physical unit never enters into deficit mode. [expand]

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>
