Notes

Mystics often use language and metaphor in a special way, in an effort to trigger enlightenment in others.[1] Zen, in particular, is built up as a Connection Practice. In my view, this is an attempt to develop a connection practice, but in fact, is based on a faulty or limited understanding/theorization of the phenomenon.

Grof uses the term "Technologies of the Sacred" to refer to Connection Practices (drumming, fasting, sleep deprivation, etc.), Connection Appliances (drums, rattles), and Connection Supplements (Lazslo, Groff, Russell, 1999: 16).

Connection Practices combined with Connection Appliances, like the TOSAS, and the careful and guided use of Connection Supplements can facilitate transformative Connection

The Lightning Path provides several neurolinguistic tools (i.e. meditations, visualization, and mantras) [1] that can be used at various stages in the process to facilitate greater connection.
