Owing to the fact that humans are embedded in a historical context, and owing to the fact that each context has its own unique political, economic, social, and psychological parameters which provide a unique experience, "paths" (i.e. the teachings, concepts, and practices supportive of [[Connection]]) are always '''historically specific.''' An ancient path taught by even the most talented of [[Avatar|avatars]] is, arguably, ineffective and (often) counterproductive in the context of modern sensibilities and realities.

Avoidance is conscious and therefore easy to identify. Avoidance is rooted in fear, feelings of inadequacy, [[Learned Helplessness]], and so on. We avoid taking a course because we fear failure. We avoid addressing a trauma because we fear the negative blowback.

To treat, teach the client necessary skills to express themselves and to act appropriately. Support them as they make necessary changes.

==Notes==

In evolutionary terms the ability to engage in short term repression allowed the physical unit to devote energy to survival. On a hunt the ability to "tune out" distractions was critical. Similarly during times of social or economic crises the ability to put aside secondary concerns allowed for the focused, and sometimes intense, direction of effort.

The mechanisms of repression is intended to be short term. Repression involves the energetic suppression of the [[Crown Chakra]] and if chronically applied has significant negative outcomes for the [[Physical Unit]]. For example, repression requires diversion of psychic energy and therefore repression robs the crown chakra of the energy it needs for balanced function and ongoing development. If chronically applied this diversion of energy can lead to imbalanced function and retarded psychological development. Repression, especially when chronically applied, also re-tasks and reprograms the physical brain. Neuronal structures are modified and new pathways not intended by evolutionary selection are created. Retardation and dysfunction that may require years of healing and reprogramming may result. Of course, it is important to note that healing is always possible (see for example [Neuroplasticity]] and the fascinating new awareness of brain plasticity emerging). However, it is also important to understand that underestimating the effort required to heal can guarantee failure as the physical unit may fail to assign necessary time and resources to the task, or simply self-blame when rapid changes are not forthcoming.

Repression is useful for those who seek to maintain [[The System]]. Repression of our awareness of reality allows for the subversion of said reality and its replacement with parent, Church, and media constructed illusions. This may benefit those with power but the physical unit is only damaged as a result.

Like many of the energetic amputations that occur as a result of System indoctrination, the damaged caused by suppression and redirection of chakra energies is cumulative and profound. Psychologists and counselors must work very hard to establish enough trust with their clients so that the layers of energetic repression that damage an organism can be sequentially, and carefully, removed.

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]]

Maintenance Mechanisms are all mechanisms that contribute to the preservation of [[The System]]. Maintenance Mechanisms are integrated into the [[Toxic Socialization]] process.
</blockquote>

==Related Terms==

{{#ask:[[Is a related LP term::System Maintenance]]}}

==Notes==

== Psychological Mechanisms==

=== [[Awareness Reduction Mechanisms|ARMs]] ===
[[Distraction]], [[Compartmentalization]], [[Rationalization]], [[Dissociation]], [[Repression]], [[Denial]] are contributing to system maintenance. As [[Awareness Reduction Mechanisms|'''A'''wareness '''R'''eduction '''M'''echanisms]] are generally engaged in keeping the [[CQ]] of the [[PU]] low, it becomes more difficult to realize the extent of the damage we endure during our [[Toxic Socialization Process|Socialization Process]]. As a result, the extand systems are normalized, accepted and perpetuated by the population.[[Fool in School Constellation|The Fool in School]] Archetype in conjunction with [[Defense Mechanisms]] of the PU lead to Compartmentalization, Rationalization, Dissociation and Distortion of the perspective on the System, while [[Judgement and Punishment]] Archetypes in conjunction with Defense Mechanisms of the PU lead to Repression and Denial.

=== Addictions ===

Addiction to money. (See [https://www.lightningpath.org/healing/addiction-to-money/])

=== Fears ===

Social Fears
Existential Fears

=== Modes ===

The PU is equipped with different modes.
The System cannot allow any given person on the planet to operate in [[Growth Mode]] for a long period of time. Its survival depends on this, thus, it focuses a lot on needs deprivation.

== Institutional Mechanisms ==

Minimizing psychological friction.

Obscure, justify, marginalize and control. (See Spirit of Triumph:MK)

Asymmetrical power distributions.

== Ideological Mechanisms ==

=== Archetypes ===

The contents of Archetypes may be viewed as an element that contributes to System Maintenance. Contents that ultimately contribute to disconnection all contribute to System Maintenance. Lowering of CQ, regardless of the method and reason, automatically results in the perpetuation of The Old World System.

=== Archetypal Interpenetration ===

[[Archetypal Interpenetration]] - If a certain archetype fits into the archetypal context like a puzzle piece fits into a puzzle, it conveys the feeling of correctness. Thus, scholars, philosophers etc. oftentimes contribute directly to the maintenance of the system from a purely ideological point of view, even though their intentions might have aimed for a contrary outcome. (John Rawls, Justice as Fairness; Dawkins, The God Delusion; ...)

== Sociopsychological Mechanisms ==

Control over a population may be generally achieved by a four-step, self-perpetrating, inter-generational loop. This is generally achieved by means of deprivation of needs. The deprivation of needs puts the PU into a mode that is programmed to rectify the situation. The following depicts the flow of control based on the deprivation of the ''need for power''. Structurally similar models can be found for any of the essential needs. For instance, the need for love - notice how confounded, restricted and restricting love has become in our contemporary depictions of it. Unconditional love has been exchanged with conditional love - the author(s) of those conditions thereby controlling that powerful emotion.

Step 1: Diminish the genuine self-esteem of a person. (Implement the [[Fool in School]] archetype.)

Step 2: Offer pseudo-solutions for regaining the lost self-esteem. (Prescribe socially acceptable Identities.)

Step 3: Implement the socioeconomic circumstances fitting to the pseudo-solutions. (Diminishes genuine self-esteem for new generations.)

Step 4: Enforce the socioeconomic circumstances. (Implies reciprocal policing.)

Step 5: Start again from step 1 with the new generation.

After successfully diminishing the genuine self-esteem of a person by means of Toxic Socialization, the person tries to regain it. Regaining the lost self-esteem occurs by means of identification with socially acceptable Identities. If the socialization process told a person (child) it is a worthless little stupid bug, and out of whatever reason it buys that, then it will want to start to "correct" that view of itself. It will try to "become someone". With other words, the person will attempt to fashion its life and personality in a way that suits some socially acceptable identity, one in which it doesn't need to think of itself as a worthless stupid little bug. Local social agendas prescribe such ready made socially acceptable identities. Men ought to be x, y, z; women ought to be a,b,c; etc.

Note that achieving any given socially acceptable identity does not solve the fundamental need for genuine self-esteem of the person. The reason for this being that the self-esteem it has acquired is only valid within the specific socioeconomic context. If the context changes, the gained "self-esteem" is being lost. One might term the kind of self-esteem that is dependent on social circumstances ''dependent self-esteem''. This has a tremendously strong enforcing effect on the socioeconomic system, for that person will do everything in its power to maintain the socioeconomic system on which its identity depends upon.

Thus, privilege, accruing of money, cars, mansions, beauty etc. is pursued fervently. Depending on the magnitude of the lack of genuine self-esteem, the functioning of ARMs, and personal experiences, the person will go to great lengths to achieve the prescribed goal, oftentimes in total disregard to the ecologic, social and personal damage it inflicts.

Privilege. Wealth. Beauty. (See "Manufacturing the Social Agenda of Beautiful Living"). Coolness.

This mechanism may be regarded as a maintenance mechanism, for it disallows the population to confront with their own actions. In a state of serious deprivation, the [[PU]] is programmed to acquire what it lacks. Esteem is one of the [[Seven Essential Needs]], thus, if it is lacking, the PU goes into [[Deprivation Mode]](See [[Deficit Mode]]), thereby focusing mainly on needs gratification. This inevitably leads to the proliferation of [[Disconnection]], for it is highly improbable that needs can be met without hurting others. Due to the damage that is done to others, [[Awareness Reduction Mechanisms]] need to be employed in order to minimize the awareness of the hurt that is being inflicted unto others. With ARMs in place, reciprocal assault and damage becomes widespread, resulting in what we term "[[Normal Consciousness]]". Note that "normal" consciousness is not desirable whatsoever. Normal Consciousness is the result - and generator - of ongoing assault, chronically unmet [[Needs]] and [[Fractured Attachments]].

== Sociopolitical Mechanisms ==

Political power asymmetries.

* I wish to heal. I wish to awaken. I wish to connect

Note that some intent should always be given so that one accesses only information that is for the highest good of all living beings. There's still a lot of crapola out there.

Visual awakening mantras include chakra visualizations like [[The Great Invocation]] and awakening visualizations like the animation associated with the [[Water Glass Metaphor]].

Note, forward movement on an authentic path of awakening does not occur without a formal signal of intent. Therefore an awakening affirmation should be considered a necessary and important part of your daily spiritual routine.

'''Rules of Alignment''' are rules that you can follow to move yourself in the direction of [[Alignment]] with [[Consciousness]]. The three rules of alignment are

: Do not hurt yourself, because hurting yourself undermines your body’s ability to contain Consciousness
: Do not hurt others, because hurting others undermines their ability to contain Consciousness, and throws your own bodily ego out of alignment.
: Do what you came here to do. Find your life’s purpose, because you will not be aligned and expressing your highest Self until you do.

When people experience visions, when they experience archetypes, they talk about them and comment on them. When the individual that provides the commentary is the individual that had the experience, we call this Primary Elaboration.

Connection experiences are '''the cure for consumerism, violence, intolerance, even unhappiness.'''

Stanislav Grof notes that the use of [[Connection Supplements]] or [[Connection Practices]] reduce aggression, increase compassion and tolerance. He also notes a reduction of the "insatiable drive to pursue linear goals," reduction in the belief that "more is better," and emergence of "spirituality of a universal and nondenominational nature characterized by the awareness of unity underlying all of creation an a deep connection to other people, other species, and the entire cosmos." <ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell.

The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p 67.</ref>

Grof also notes that "Full satisfaction comes ultimately from the experience of...our own divinity, not the pursuit of material goals of any scope or kind."<ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p 8.</ref>

Grof “When people get involved in self-exploration using non-ordinary states of consciousness, it is not necessary to teach them ecology or ethics. When they have transpersonal experiences, their systems of values changes automatically and they develop deep ecological awareness, tolerance, and compassion… and [the sense of a much larger identity].”
<ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p. 130.</ref>

[[Spontaneous Alignment]] Grof "I believe that there is a system of core values which are transpersonal, which transcend those of the existing cultures. It is an ethical system that emerges spontaneously out of profound mystical experiences. It includes values upon which people from different cultures who have had these experiences would agree. I have seen this phenomenon repeatedly in our work." <ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution.

==Notes==

The quality of bodily consciousness is determined by genetics, past experience, and by the [[Consciousness Quotient]] (CQ) of the physical unit. When the CQ of the physical unit is low (typically as a result of [[Toxic Socialization]], [[Faulty Instruction]], or trauma in the genetic line, bodily consciousness will be rigid, limited, and without significant insight and intelligence. As the CQ of the body increases however, Bodily Consciousness gradually merges with [[Spiritual Consciousness]]. As this happens the limited, delusional, dis-[[Connection|connected]] experience of [[Normal Consciousness]] is replaced by the fullest expression of monadic consciousness possible within the physical limitations of this universe.

The quality of bodily consciousness, the quality and nature of its expression, is determined by experience. Toxic experiences, [[Toxic Socialization]], puts the consciousness of the body into [[Defense Mode]].

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.

==Notes==

It is important to note that the Matrix Illusion can exist only while a [[Physical Unit]] suffers [[Disconnection]] (i.e. a closed [[Crown Chakra]]). That is, successful imposition of the Matrix Illusion depends on the stupification of the physical unit through a violent process of [[Toxic Socialization]] designed to prevent proper development and maturation of the human body and suppress [[connection]].

When under the influence of the Matrix Illusion, the individual Physical Unit will deny the realities of their world ([[Defense Mechanisms|Denial]]), distort and reshape their perception of reality ([[Defense Mechanisms|Distortion]]), and/or attempt to delude themselves and others ([[Defense Mechanisms|Delusional Projection]]) about the true nature of reality. The individual, in an attempt to prevent awareness of the true nature of their reality from emerging, may also refuse to engage in appropriate adult response ([[Defense Mechanisms|Regression]]), or may (if denial or delusional repression cannot be accomplished) ([[Defense Mechanisms|Intellectualize]]) or [[Defense Mechanisms|Rationalize]] reality by developing cosmological and/or theological justifications that encourage acceptance of the world "as it is."

The only escape out of the matrix illusion is through the healing and reconnection. A fully matured and functioning physical will not be vulnerable to [[Matrix Illusion]] and will "see through" to the realities of this world with clarity, precision, and certitude.

==Notes==

Aleister Crowley defined magick as "The science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will." As much as I really dislike the man and his मोह writings, he was bang on with this definition.

Spencer Rogers identifies several forms of magic, including sympathetic magic, imitative magic, contagious magic. '''Imitative magic''' is magic based on imitation--what happens to the picture or figure of a person happens to the person. ''Contagious magic''' is magic conducted on objects that have been in contact with a person (hair, a person's possession). '''Repetition magic''' involves the repetition of formula, prayer, or incantations. In all cases, this form of magic is an attempt to focus and discipline intent.

Contrary to fundamentalist belief, the early medieval Christian Church as OK with the idea of magic. According to this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition#Witch-trials Wikipedia article], "The fierce denunciation and persecution of supposed sorceresses that characterized the cruel witchhunts of a later age were not generally found in the first thirteen hundred years of the Christian era. The medieval Church distinguished between "white" and "black" magic. Local folk practice often mixed chants, incantations, and prayers to the appropriate patron saint to ward off storms, to protect cattle, or ensure a good harvest. Bonfires on Midsummer’s Eve were intended to deflect natural catastrophes or the influence of fairies, ghosts, and witches. Plants, often harvested under particular conditions, were deemed effective in healing."

Magical Formula: [[Force]] + [[Formation]] = Creation.

"Consciousness is not bound by the constraints of physical creation," (BOLIFE) though consciousness certainly is.

Israeli Regardie of Golden Dawn fame psychologized magic and made it into a "technical system" for psychological development, particularly the "integration of the human personality..." and "bringing into operation the creative and intuitive parts of man [sic]" <ref>Regardie, Israel. The Middle Pillar: The Balance Between Mind and Magic. St Paul, Minnesota: Llewellyn, 2004. p. 6-7</ref>

The Ideological infrastructure consists of [Meanings]], [[Norms]], and [[Values]] expressed in statements.

A statement is a verbal, visual, or musical expression that conveys the core meaning, norm, or value.

Violations of the ideological infrastructure invoke sanction. The more central and core the idea, the more violent and pre-emptive the sanction.

Some statements are so critical to the maintenance of the system that they are elevated to the status of sacred. Once elevated as sacred, the ideas are considered critical to human identity and immune from critical examination and modification.

The ideological infrastructure is the same as a [[Creation Template]].We may use the term ideological infrastructure when referring to a creation template whose purpose is obscured and whose purpose is to create a [[Regime of Accumulation]] designed to privilege and empower the few.

'''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]]
