The Sixth Circuit emerges when the nervous system begins to understand and control its own functioning as a bio-electric transceiver.

By comparison, when the Fifth Circuit is activated, the nervous system begins to understand and control its somatic vehicle, floating unattached to fixed terrestrial locale.

When the Sixth Circuit is activated, the nervous system real-izes that it is a transceiver for bio-electric frequencies. We speak here of what has been poetically called "the sixth sense." The ability, manifested by certain premature larvals, to pick up messages beyond the audio-tactile-visual-chemical range of the neurosomatic circuit.

The telepathic facility is not unusual. A surprisingly high percentage of larvals will report in confidence that they have experienced pre-cognition or distance reception. These episodes are uncanny to the larval. Shrouded in taboo. The Catholic church has traditionally considered such "psychic" phenomena as sinful or diabolic. Respectable scientists prudishly avoid discussion or examination of the widespread evidence for the existence of "Sixth sense" data.

Stage 16, like all receptive stages, is exploratory and childishly passive. The pop-eyed acid-head is a transient evolutionary form. Neuro-electric drugs like LSD are not designed for terrestrial life and are rightly considered dangerous by larval moralists. The Sixth Circuit is designed for extra-terrestrial life -- and its activation by drugs at the present time is in preparation for migration. Neurophysical drugs can be used by neurologicians to "cure" ineffective childhood imprints. LSD-type drugs used for treatment or for pre-flight training should be administered by knowledgable experts who understand the principals of re-imprinting and who have experiential control of their own nervous systems. The hedonic "party" use of LSD is a risky business. It is true that the ecstasy of direct vibratory reality is intense, far beyond the delights of larval rewards and material pleasures, and it is true that the ontological revelations allow one to experience elemental Einsteinian reality (of which imprints are the static, faded copies). However, physical reality is too explosive an experience for mundane exposure. The brain is an extra-terrestrial organ.

The brain is an alien intelligence. The brain has no more concern for earthly affairs than the cultured, sympathetic traveller for the native village in which SHe spends the night.

The discovery that the brain, which one has naively considered one's own ego tool, is actually an alien presence (viewing the host-personality with the aethetic eye which an elegant aristocrat might cast upon an ignorant, gross, uneducated, opinionated, irascible rural inn-keeper) is shocking to the unprepared LSD-user and can lead to frenzies of shame and humiliation. The so-called "bad trip" is often nothing more than the "ego" viewing itself through the clear lens of its own Higher Intelligence.

There is another LSD myth that can be understood in the light of neuro-logic. This is the apocryphal legend that neurophysical drugs can cause people to want to jump out windows. We are aware, of course, that the defenestration myth becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Once given rumor-currency, the vulnerability of the imprint-retracted state can give reality to the myth. "I am now free to create a new reality. What does one do in the Nirvana state? Oh yes, I remember. Find a window to jump out of. That's what Reader's Digest suggested."

Behind the suggestive power of the legend we find the evolutionary meaning. LSD activates post-terrestrial contelligence. Humanity's home is in space. Humanity's natural atmosphere is zero-gravity. We are designed to float, to evolve into flight, to swim around in null-G freedom.

Stage 16 neurphysical hedonism is a natural, youthful reaction to the newly acquired experience. During its larval existence, the brain has been buffered and sealed off from electromagnetic vibratory reality. The artifacts and machines produced by the Third Circuit brutalize and coarsen experience. The heavy, slow, somatic functions of thee Fifth Circuit are encumbrances. Neurosomatic experience is filtered through the slow liquid transactions of cellular organs.

Sixth Circuit consciousness, however, is crystal clear, radiant, electric, frictionless, unencumbered by material inertias. It si understandable that a period of self-indulgent playing with raw, direct, smooth humming energy would occur.

At Stage 16 the neuro-electric child plays with the electro-magnetic-signals. The next step is the intelligent integration and reconstruction of the new energy forms.
