Altered State of Consciousness (ASC)
Throughout his life and at regular intervals, Carl Gustav Jung experienced various altered states of consciousness. One of the most striking was a phenomenon of automatic writing that, in just three days, enabled him to write Les Sept Sermons aux Morts [5], a profoundly mystical work addressing the notion of the pleroma. This term, of Greek origin, refers to fullness, or the world of pure spirit.
Nothingness is both empty and full…
Does the sensitivity specific to the autism spectrum (AS) allow more direct access to this pleroma? Choosing to move towards a more developed consciousness is a long and demanding path for many. I am convinced that the inaccessibility of the world as perceived by the average human being pushes people on the AS spectrum to develop this dimension of the mind further—a necessity, perhaps, dictated by survival.
The brain-gut connection
Many psychological disorders—depression, poor concentration, irritability, insomnia and various psychotic disorders—are often linked to poor intestinal health. The relationship between the brain and intestines is one of the essential keys to good mental health. The intestines supply energy, underpin the production and distribution of neurotransmitters, play a role in the glymphatic system (the communication channel between intestines and brain) and help eliminate toxins.
It is up to you alone to take charge of intestinal health, your own and your children's, to improve the autistic condition as well as the condition of allistic people.
This is a practical step: change your eating habits to achieve real results.
The will is a driving force.
It is also essential to learn about the realm of the will, a true tool for change in various aspects of life. Understanding how the brain works will allow you to manage your reactions and learn to overcome negative impulses, so that you do not become trapped in bad habits but instead transform them. This is not impossible; others have succeeded, although it requires considerable effort and willpower. I must admit that I do not know enough about your situation to offer personalised advice, but I can point you towards a few avenues to explore.
