Timothy Leary's eight-circuit model of consciousness

Timothy Leary's eight-circuit model of consciousness suggests that human consciousness operates through eight distinct circuits, each representing different levels of awareness and experience. These circuits range from basic survival instincts to higher consciousness and self-realization. The first four circuits are related to biological functions and personal survival, while the latter four involve social and spiritual experiences. Leary's model integrates psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience, proposing that expansion of consciousness occurs by activating and developing these circuits, allowing individuals to experience deeper connections with themselves and the universe. Ultimately, it offers a framework for understanding the complexities of human consciousness.
