The Neuroelectric Circuit
Last night I read something in a book called Cosmic Trigger (written in 1977) which hit me like a ton of bricks. And now I understand the nature of my awakening quite a bit better than I did yesterday.
The author of Cosmic Trigger, Robert Anton Wilson, devotes several pages to the subject of neurological space, in which he outlines the workings of eight different brain circuits; mini-brains; “gears”.
The Eight Circuits of Consciousness.
This is not the author’s theory, but rather that of Dr. Timothy Leary. He says four of the circuits are concerned with our terrestrial survival; the other four are ‘extraterrestrial’ and for use in our future evolution. All humans possess these circuits, and the first four are employed by everyone in daily life. They are:
I. The bio-survival circuit (evolved 2 to 3 billion years ago).
II. The emotional circuit (evolved around 500,000 years ago).
III. The dexterity-symbolism circuit (evolved 4 to 5 billion years ago).
IV. The socio-sexual circuit (evolved around 30,000 years ago).
For most people, these four circuits are the only ones ever activated. Yet there are four more which can be accessed by all of us:
V. The neurosomatic circuit (evolved around 4,000 years ago).
As the author explains, with this circuit activated a ‘hedonic turn on occurs, a rapturous amusement, a detachment from the previously compulsive mechanism of the first four circuits’.
And now the one which hit me like a ton of bricks when I read about it (I quote from the book, in italics):

VI. The neuroelectric circuit
The sixth brain consists of the nervous system becoming aware of itself apart from imprinted gravitational reality maps (circuits I-IV) and even apart from the body rapture (circuit V). Count Korzybski, the semanticist, called this state “consciousness of abstracting.” Dr. John Lilly calls it “metaprogramming,” i.e. awareness of programming one’s programming. This Einsteinian, relativistic contelligence (consciousness-intelligence) recognises, for instance, that the Euclidean, Newtonian and Aristotelian reality maps are just three among billions of possible programs of models for experience.
This level of brain functioning seems to have been reported first around 500 B.C. among various ‘occult’ groups connected by the Silk Route (Rome - North India). It is so far beyond the terrestrial tunnel-realities that those who have achieved it can barely communicate about it to ordinary humanity (circuits I-IV) and can hardly be understood even by fifth Circuit Rapture engineers.
The characteristics of the neuroelectric circuit are high velocity, multiple choice, relativity, and the fission-fusion of all perceptions into parallel science-fiction universes of alternate possibilities.
The mammalian politics which monitor power struggles among terrestrial humanity are here transcended, i.e. seen as static, artificial, an elaborate charade. One is neither coercively manipulated into another’s territorial reality nor forced to struggle against it with reciprocal emotional game-playing (the usual soap-opera dramatics). One simply elects, consciously, whether or not to share the other’s reality-model.
Tactics for opening and imprinting the sixth circuit are described and rarely experienced in advanced rajah yoga, and in the hermetic (coded) manuals of the medieval-Renaissance alchemists and Illuminati.
The suppression of scientific research in this area has had the unfortunate result of turning the outlaw drug culture back toward fifth circuit hedonics and pre-scientific tunnel realities (the occult revival, solipsism, Pop Orientalism). Without scientific discipline and methodology, few can decode the often-frightening (but philosophically crucial) sixth circuit metaprogramming signals.

Well, there I was, reading this stuff about the neuroelectric circuit and knowing that I had activated that very circuit in my awakening. And it has been active ever since.
There are two more circuits, which operate on an even more advanced level:
VII. The neurogenic circuit
VIII. The neuro-atomic circuit
I haven’t read about these last two yet, as I’m still coming to terms with what number VI means for me!
I would like to add to what the author says. When I activated my neuroelectric circuit I saw immediately that we are One.
It’s interesting that Wilson describes the sixth circuit metaprogramming signals as “often-frightening”. I concur with that. I have found myself on more than one occasion become detached from what we perceive on earth as ‘reality’, only to see it’s not real at all. It’s a rather frightening sensation but, I am happy to say, the frightening aspect tends to diminish over time, as I get used to it.
Talking of frightening experiences, what about all the millions of those out there with their minds fixed on the New World Order reality? They are frightened by it because they can now see it for what it is - they have reached the understanding that there really is an evil plan unfolding for the world.
But the plan is only unfolding on one level. May I reassure any New World Order students that there are levels of understanding which transcend all of what we might call ‘crap’ (New World Order included).
