Spiritual Theory
Connection
Connection is the main topic of this SpiritWiki. Connection refers to the phenomenon of Connection between the Spiritual Ego and Bodily Ego, sometimes called mystical experience, peak experience, transcendence, depending on the strength of the connection. Connection may be continuous or discrete. A discrete connection is a short term Connection Experience that can be measured along five Connection Axes.
A Connection Experience may be a positive Zenith Experience or a negative Nadir Experience. A Connection Experience may lead to many positive and some negative Connection Outcomes. Sometimes, when the Bodily Ego is heavily damaged, Connection Experience can lead to Connection Pathology and even Connection Catastrophe.
Connection is a common and ubiquitous human experience[1] that happens to everybody at least once in their lives, but that some people actually pursue, through various forms of Connection Practice, using various types of Connection Techniques and [Connection Appliances]], and often using powerful Connection Supplements.
Scientists and scholars are aware of the existence and significance of Connection Experience. They take one of three basic Theoretical Approaches to Connection to Connection Experience, reductionist, adaptive, or transformative. The LP, this SpiritWiki, takes an adaptive/transformative approach.
Connection is an ongoing human concern. Through the centuries many Connection Manuals have been written, from various cultural, scientific, and religious perspectives. Connection manuals are designed to help guide and facilitate the expanded Flow of Consciousness that occurs during connection, and to help individuals overcome Connection Obstacles. Connection manuals are often a part of various Connection Frameworks.
Connection is a challenge. High levels of Consciousness in the body tax the mind and body in the best of situations. When there is damage to the bodily ego, connection can be even more difficult. When the bodily ego is damaged, connection may lead to Connection Pathology or even Connection Psychosis.
Achieving persistent and consistent connection is the goal of human development.
Under ideal circumstances, achieving consistent connection requires extensive Connection Practice
Under the less-then-ideal conditions of planet Earth, achieving persistent and consistent connection requires healing from the trauma of Toxic Socialization.
