Eight-circuit model of consciousness

Model of understanding various "experiences of consciousness" . First proposed by Tim Leary and then refined by Robert Anton Wilson.

Terrestrial Circuits

First Circuit

Vegetative-Invertebrate / Oral Bio-Survival

This circuit is concerned with nourishment, physical safety, comfort and survival, suckling, cuddling, etc. It begins with one spatial dimension, forward/back.

Imprinted in early infancy- leads to a default life position of feeling "okay" or "not okay". A negative experience during this phase could lead to a deep sensation of the environment generally being hostile.

Second Circuit

Emotional-Locomotion Circuit/ Anal-Territorial

Domination/submission and territory.

Imprinted in toddler phase. Positive experiences here lead to a "Dominant" attitude versus a "submissive" attitude.

The imprinting of the first 2 circuits leads to a particular elemental disposition

The previous two circuits can only imprint in a binary manner: Trust/Suspicion for the first, and Dominance/Submission for the second. This means that there are four possible combinations of base imprints. These can then be mapped to The Four Primary Elements Private or Broken Links

  • Trust/Dominance: Fire (friendly strength)
  • Trust/Submission: Water (Friendly Weakness)
  • Suspicion/Dominance: Air (Unfriendly Strength)
  • Suspicion/Submission: Earth (Unfriendly Weakness)

Third Circuit

Laryngeal-Manual Symbolic/ Semantic Time-Binding

Symbols, language, logic. This circuit is the minds ability to abstract the world into a symbol. Some animals like crows show this ability as well- to be able to look at a problem and imagine solutions then apply the solution to the real scenario.

Fourth Circuit

Socio-Sexual Domestication

Connected with our first orgasm experience. Is concerned with social connections, tribe and family. reproduction. Cultural Values

Post Terrestrial

Fifth Circuit

Neurosomatic Circuit

When activated, a non-conceptual feeling of well being arises. This is a sort of elevated circuit from the physical needs of the body while still being fully aware of it. While the first circuit regards a sensation of physical wellbeing this circuit regards a sensation of metaphysical wellbeing.

Sixth Circuit

Neuo-Electric/ Metaprogramming

This circuit is aware of itself and is capable of reprogramming the previous circuits. This allows us to perform self-initiation.

Seventh Circuit

Neurogenetic/ Morphogenetic

This is our connection to our evolutionary history- and in fact the genetic history of all life. This circuit seems to be the gateway to the Aativan consciouness described by Austin Osman SpareAustin Osman Spare
30 December 1886 – 15 May 1956
English artist and occultist. Briefly cohort of Aleister Crowley but the two had a falling out.
Wrote on Desires , primordial magic, genius and madness
where in he sinks into the evolutionary consciouness of our ancestors.

Eighth Circuit

Neuro-Atomic Metaphysiology / Non-Local Quantum

Non-local awareness and enlightenment.
