Notes
In China, in and around 100-200 C.E., a proliferation of revelatory and visionary experiences prompted ongoing "Rebellions against the existing order..." [2]
Thomas Merton experienced a significant turn to the left following his Connection Experiences. "Merton too on social issues--writing, for example, on civil rights and against racism--long before such things were fashionable. His outlook struck a chord. Eldridge Cleaver, the former Black Panther leader and author of Soul on Ice, noted that no white man wrote with such a sympathetic eye on the plight and poignancy of Harlem as Merton Did." [3]
I describe the case of Las Casas, a brutal Spanish colonizers who, after a brief Connection Experience, rejected his country's barbarous exploitation of slaves and instead worked politically to end the practice.[4]. Sosteric calls this the Turn to the Left
Ralph Waldo Emerson, a person that by his description of the Oversoul is one who certainly had more than one Connection Experience was a "radical."[5]
