Connection

Connection is the Lightning Path term for what occurs when the Bodily Ego of the Physical Unit unites with Resident Monadic Consciousness or some higher level of the Fabric of Consciousness.

Connection with Consciousness is facilitated through proper Development of the Physical Unit and/or by exploitation of available entheogenic substances. Connection is thwarted by Wrong Thought, Disjuncture, and the psychological, emotional, and physical Pathology that arises as a result of Toxic Socialization.

The opposite of Connection is Disconnection.

Notes

The process of Connection may be visually represented with the Water Glass Metaphor.

Connections may be characterized along four axis, these being quality, intensity (see Consciousness Quotient, duration, and content (Sosteric, MCD).

Neurological correlates of connection experiences are provided in Sosteric (S0A).

Connection with The Fabric (i.e. Consciousness) is the ostensible goal of Authentic Spirituality and practical outcome of proper Human Development and Mystical Practice.

The word Connection may be used interchangeably with the word Awakening.
