Only one mind!!!
Glad to meet you again, Sandra Anne. I got the idea to visit Jed's forum again and so I found your last chapter, not so new anymore by now. Thank you again.
You write about "Spiritually incorrect enlightenment" and the "Capatin Ahab"-theme from the book "Moby Dick".
There is an interesting comment from Jed at the end of chapter 15 (the break-out archetype). Not so typical for Jed and Ahab, but - as I find - important for the whole S/A-process:
"I have noted only one omission worth mentioning: Elation.
Lunatic joy.
Stark, raving happiness.
Transcendental exultation.
Ahab appears at different times to be enraged, insane, reasonable, tormented, heartbroken and introspective, but never radiantly triumphant, which he would most certainly be. He has every reason to be leaning off the prow of the Pequod, arms flung wide … shouting `I am the King of the World!´ … For Ahab all the uncertainty, fear, doubt, mediocrity, pettiness, striving, ambiguity and myriad other chains that bind us and weigh us down have been sliced away. His fate is known, his success certain. He is hurtling all thrilling velocity into perfect freedom. He knows it and he would be unspeakably happy about it."
