Connection

Connection occurs when your Bodily Ego unites, even if only briefly, with your own Spiritual Ego, or some other monadic location within the Fabric of Consciousness. Connection is the ostensible goal of Authentic Spirituality, and the explicit purpose of the Lightning Path

Syncretic Terms

Connection, Rebirth, being Born Again, gaining entrance into The Garden, entrance into The Kingdom of God or entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven, attainment of Christ Consciousness, Resurrection of Consciousness, Descent of the Holy Spirit, Descent of Consciousness, entry into the Holy of Holies, experience of the Numinosom (Jung, 1938: 6).

Connection > Altered State of Consciousness, Born Again, Descent of the Holy Spirit, Divine Marriage, Divine Union, Drawing Down the Moon, It, Lightning Strike, Mysticism, Salvation, Shamanic State of Consciousness, Starlight Vision, The Dreaming, Trance, Union

Notes

Connection leads to expansion of Consciousness into the body, i.e., increased Consciousness Quotient.

Connection leads to Awakening and, under supportive circumstances, to Acknowledgment, Atonement, Alignment, Activation, and Ascension.

Awakening and improvements in Acknowledgment, Atonement, Alignment, Activation, and Ascension facilitate stronger connection.

Connections may be characterized along five axis, these being quality, intensity duration, content (Sosteric, MCD), and outcomes.

Connection may be facilitated with Connection Supplements (where legal in your area), as well as calming techniques such as mindfullness and meditation. The opposite of Connection is Disconnection.

Think of connection in internet terms. Like your computer/device connects to a website 'server, so your little self connects to your Self, Highest Self, or some other monadic location in [The Fabric of Consciousness]]. Make sure you have the right "web" address before you connect.

Connection with The Fabric (i.e. Consciousness) is the ostensible and overt goal of Authentic Spirituality.

The ability to connect with Consciousness is a natural ability of the Physical Unt. It is facilitated via proper Development of the Physical Unit, or when the physical unit is damaged, via the use of Connection Supplements designed to overcome the psychological and emotional damage of Toxic Socialization. In this regard, Huxly notes that the ability to connect (what he calls mystical union) is "as all the evidence seems to show, a state which man [sic], as man [sic], has always had it in his power to realize..." (PP). Further Connection (what Huxley refers to as "direct awareness of the 'eternally complete consciousness,') is a "possibility occasionally actualized by some human beings at almost any stage of their own personal development, from childhood to old age, and at any period of the race’s history."

Connection Supplements enable controlled and metered reconnection.

Proper development of the physical unit includes a socialization process satisfies all Seven Essential Needs, and that teaches, encourages, and facilitates Right Action, Right Thought, and Right Environment.

Connection is thwarted by Wrong Thought, Wrong Action, and Wrong Environment, all of which lead to Disjuncture, Disconnection, and Disconnectin Pathology.

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

A draft exploration of the neurological correlates of connection experiences is provided in Sosteric (S0A).

Mystical practice/Authentic Spirituality is the personal/collective pursuit of connection.
