Notes

Technically, an activation experience is a brief increase of CQ resulting from a temporary removal of Bodily Ego defences, either spontaneously, by engaging in Connection Practice, or using Connection Supplements. An activation experience leads to a significant enhancement in one's sense of power and self-efficacy.

Michael Harner describes a unity experience, coupled with an Activation Experience of absorbing spiritual power in the form of the energies of the horse and bison, he had, while isolated alone in a cave.

"Then, as I was sitting there, an immense indescribable power rushed toward me from the same direction that the herds had come. But this time, there was no sound, no warning. It swept overwhelmingly through my body like a freight train. A surge of immense energy filled my body. I was astonished. The power had come! Then the animal was gone.

As it bounded soundlessly away through the darkness beyond the recesses of the cave, it called back to me: “I am XXX, XXX, XXX!” It said, “I am one and all. You and I are one.” Then there was only silence.

I felt indescribable awe and gratitude." [1]
