New page

Lightning Path psychology posits a distinction between [[Consciousness]] and the [[Physical Unit]] (i.e. body) that contains it. According to LP psychological theory, [[Consciousness]] exists sui generis, independent of, physical creation. The [[Physical Unit]] was designed as a container for [[Consciousness]]. Human [[Development]] involves nurturing and preparing the physical unit so that it can develop and maintain a strong [[Connection]]. [[Disconnection]] is a consequence of [[Toxic Socialization]]
