8-Circuit Model of Consciousness

Timothy Leary’s 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness is a psychological and philosophical theory that suggests the human mind is composed of eight "circuits" or levels of functioning. Each circuit represents a different stage of evolution and a different way of perceiving reality.

The model is generally divided into two halves: the first four circuits deal with life on Earth and survival, while the last four are "post-terrestrial" and deal with higher states of consciousness.

The Terrestrial Circuits (Survival & Social)

These circuits are common to most humans and are "imprinted" during specific stages of childhood and development.

* 1. The Oral Bio-Survival Circuit: Deals with physical safety and nourishment. It is imprinted in infancy. If well-developed, the person feels safe; if poorly imprinted, they feel chronic anxiety.

* 2. The A**l Emotional-Territorial Circuit: Focuses on power struggles, ego, and dominance. It is imprinted when a toddler begins to walk and assert themselves. It governs "fight or flight" and social hierarchy.

* 3. The Laryngeal Semantic Circuit: The "thinking" circuit. It involves language, logic, and map-making. It allows humans to process information and communicate complex ideas.

* 4. The Socio-Sexual Circuit: Imprinted at puberty. It governs moral codes, sexual behavior, and social roles. It is the mechanism by which society "domesticates" the individual.
The Post-Terrestrial Circuits (Evolutionary & Spiritual)
Leary believed these circuits are currently dormant in most people but can be "triggered" through meditation, yoga, or psychedelics.

* 5. The Neurosomatic Circuit: The "body-consciousness" circuit. It is associated with feelings of bliss, "highs," and the realization of the body as a sensory instrument rather than a survival machine.

* 6. The Neuro-Electric Circuit: Deals with the brain becoming aware of itself. At this level, a person perceives the world as a series of energy patterns and information rather than solid matter.

* 7. The Neuro-Genetic Circuit: Accesses "evolutionary memory" or the collective unconscious. Leary suggested this circuit allows for a connection to the DNA and the history of all life.

* 8. The Neuro-Atomic Circuit: The highest level, often described as "quantum consciousness." It involves a sense of unity with the entire universe, transcending space and time.

Manifestation Song

It is widely popular in mindfulness and wellness communities for its use as a musical affirmation.

Read, remember it and sing it to your self. Share it with people you care for.

Here are the primary lyrics:

Everything I Want

Everything I want comes to me
Everything I need is already mine
Everything I want comes to me
Everything I need is already mine

I am a magnet for miracles
I am a magnet for my dreams
The universe is conspiring in my favor
Bringing me everything I need
I am worthy of all the goodness
I am worthy of all the love
I am open and I am ready
To receive from the heavens above
[Chorus]
Everything I want comes to me
Everything I need is already mine
Everything I want comes to me
Everything I need is already mine

I trust the timing of my life

I trust the rhythm of my soul

I release all of the resistance

And I let the universe take control

I am aligned with my purpose

I am aligned with my truth

Every day I'm getting closer

To the life I was meant to choose

Everything I want comes to me
Everything I need is already mine
Everything I want comes to me
Everything I need is already mine

Men, it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. Vulnerability is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💪 Share this with a man in your life who might need to hear it today.

BIG NEWS! 📢

I finally found the secret to curing anxiety! Turns out, it wasn't therapy, boundaries, or medication...

It was just "not thinking about it." 🧠✨ Why didn’t I think of that? I’m officially cured. Brb, going to go tell my nervous system to just "calm down."
..April Fools. I’ll be in my weighted blanket if anyone needs me. 🤡
