This is just a quick sketch that came out of me a few days ago related to the last second Sunday and some of the podcasts.

Disconnection from:

Essence

Most easily observed in people with significant spiritual gifts earned in previous lives that are unmanifest. Third eye likely has capacity but not significantly employed. Aversion to spirituality at some point in life. These people operate as if they are firmly the author of their own lives (causing conflict with their very soul) and have a solid sense of (inauthentic) self and ability to manifest, which is successful control. They are typically well-adjusted, high-functioning strategic selves, but suffer from disconnection from their own soul and spirit. Spirituality is a necessary part of personhood for these people, earlier than for the other two categories, and the risk of spiritual bypassing is low because the strategic self eschews spirituality. Loss of existential control is particularly important for these people because that is the last barrier to spirit. Because love is essence, this type may limit people’s ability to transact care, because they are cut off from the universal essence of compassion, understanding, and empathy. This type has the most control, necessitating a stronger deconstructive dynamic in EBE which leads to more dramatic change than in the other two types.
