There are four main types of spiritual crisis down-cycle events in metamorphosis that need to be clearly understood to prevent unnecessary suffering and secondary backlash:
There are four main types of spiritual crisis or down-cycle events in metamorphosis that need to be clearly understood to prevent unnecessary suffering and secondary backlash:


* LIGHTNING: This is a terror event of intense energy pouring up and into the body similar to a euphoric inner-conjunction of spiritual activation, but in this case it is a inner-conjunction of feeling great discomfort, anxiety, pain or fear. Here we descend deeply into our matter and flesh and experience inner fears or energy blockages, or experience external anxiety with no apparent cause. We may be accessing buried parts of our [[Unconscious Mind]] or cellular memories that are embedded in our bodies. This "negative" inner-conjunction mostly occurs during one's first initial awakening stages which can help to surface hidden fears or pain located in the [[Pain Body]]. This terror or fear is the polar opposite to the spontaneous bliss awakening in a neophyte-body at the early [[Soul]] initiations for those that are unfamiliar with such intensity of [[Expanding Consciousness]] and energy.

* SHOCK: White Death, or autonomic shock in the CNS that occurs immediately after a mystical or ecstatic experience with kundalini spiritual activation. That is the contraction and toxic overload after a significant opening to the extreme bliss of a euphoric inner-conjunction event or a spiritual initiation stage into a higher frequency or level of the [[Lightbody]]. Sometimes in this stage a person can feel numb, apathetic or in a void.

* SELF-DIGESTION: Then there are the die-offs of toxins or waste which are a catabolic breakdown of the former structures through apoptosis due to oxidation by free radicals and then phagocytosis<ref>Phagocytes are the cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells.</ref> by the macrophages<ref>Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that engulf and digest cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis</ref>. This is a physical event and a spiritual-energetic event. Thus, one can experience a cleansing cycle similar to a detoxification through the elimination channels of the body. Detoxification at all levels of the body occurs, including a mental and emotional detoxification of the [[Pain Body]] and [[Ego/Personality]]. Changes in the hormonal structure, and endocrine functions. This is also the process of [[Ego Death]].

* BURNOUT: Lastly there is the exhaustion phase of the overall spiritual awakening cycle where the body's resources of neurotransmitters, hormones, and nutrients have been used up in the climb to the escalation heights of the spiritual awakening peak. During exhaustion depression arises, yet there is permanent bliss or peace giving the sense of being dissociated from depression.<ref>[http://biologyofkundalini.com/article.php?story=Die-off Die Off Cycles]</ref>

* If one is accelerated in full detoxification of toxin die-off, one may experience [[Ascension Symptoms]] like Ascension flu. The immune system is essentially dismantling the body and all one can do is rest in bed, and not eat much of anything. It's best not to eat while the body is in catabolic breakdown mode, or digestion will draw energy away from the transmutation of the flesh and your resurrection will not be as complete. One may create toxicity and tissue damage if you work against the natural break-down cycle and ignore the bodies request for rest, cleansing or fast.

Giving up the personality is the first stage of really living. Until we give up and surrender to our spirit, we have been trying to live from the concept of the [[Ego/Personality]] self, instead of higher spiritual or [[Christ]] Self. It is often the case with human action, that what we manifest through our ego efforts, turns out the very opposite of what we intended. The die-off is the most extreme experience of nature stepping in to help us move beyond the known experience of the ego and into the vast reaches of a mystic perception of the universe. The deeper the surrender to the living-death of the spiritual [[Ascension]] process, the more we can actually incarnate and embody spirit in the flesh.<ref>Adapted from http://biologyofkundalini.com/</ref>

==Psychospiritual Crisis==
==Psychospiritual Crisis==
The symptoms of psychospiritual crises represent a manifestation and exteriorization of the deep dynamics of the human psyche and [[Consciousness]]. The individual human psyche is a multidimensional consciousness and multilevel system with no internal divisions and boundaries. We cannot, therefore, expect to find clearly defined and demarcated types of spiritual emergency. And yet, our work with individuals in psychospiritual crises, exchanges with colleagues doing similar work, and study of pertinent literature have convinced us that it is possible and useful to outline certain major forms of psychospiritual crises, which have sufficiently characteristic features to be differentiated from others. <ref>[Stanislav Grov]</ref>Naturally, their boundaries are not clear and, in practice, there are some significant overlaps among them. I will first present a list of the most important varieties of psychospiritual crises as identified  and then briefly discuss each of them.
