The Ninth

I remember almost ten years ago, i was a member of a pick-up artist forum, and they had a live chat. well i happened upon the chat-room quite randomly late one night and the first message that popped up in the chat was a person saying he found the 9th circuit of consciousness.
I was barely 17 and had tripped heavily in the past year, thanks to my discovery of magic mushrooms and the many cowfields which surrounded the area which i grew up in.
I hadn't studied much in the way of spirituality at that time, but from my many psychedelic experiences, i did become very interested in my own mind and reality in general. When i saw that line, i was immediately curious and began asking what it was he was talking about.
Over the next several hours, we went through a very enlightening and informative discussion in which he urged me to read Prometheus Rising and introduced me to the eight circuit model. i read it that night and it blew my mind. the user never logged in again and i have only just now really begun to understand the latter circuits so i never got to ask what he believed was an apt description of the alleged 9th circuit. Anyone here with knowledge of the 8 circuit model ever discover a 9th? tl;dr: is there a circuit beyond the 8th?

The Ninth Gate refers to Demonology or prerhaps the act of acquiring a Daemon.

hate to break it to you but they were just trying to impress you with a claim to the '9th'... i mean you were on a PUA forum
idk what any of that stuff is about, i just read a bit of promethus rising it looks pretty cool..
gripes so far: 1. mentions believing in feminism in the same sentence as believing in nazism 2. the brain as hardware and thoughts as software, although useful if taken too literally just opens up a bunch of mind/body issues that are not necessary

This is all under the assumption Tim Leary's theory is true, which I don't find it very compelling.

hTx, I don't know if you could call it a "circuit," but I see no reason for existence to stop at the eight of which we are constituted. It would transcend nature though (non-locality is the fundament of this universe per se) so I guess it would be super-natural.
