…number of nations on Earth have brought in any kind of socialism or safety net for all members of society. 

We engage in repetitive struggles to “breathe free.” We feel, unconsciously, stifled, needy, suffocated ... gasping. We create our Oliver Twist economies, rooted in selfishness and greed — “Please, sir, might I have some more? — out of this terror of not having had enough in the  womb, during the last trimester. We experienced “starvation,” impover- ishment, deprivation at that time; and we have unconsciously made a  pledge to ourselves never ever to experience that hellish insufficiency again even if it means warring, fighting, scrapping over resources, greed, excessive selfishness, or inhumanity and callousness to our fellow humans and especially to those in need.

Because of this PME 2, oxygen starvation, we have feelings of panicky, near-drowning gasping added to PME 1 feelings of being overwhelmed, pressured, and blocked from free movement, or helplessness. 

Additionally, this feeling of underlying desperation keeps us in a fear which has us forever gauging our resources and the satisfaction of our wants and desires.

FALLS FROM GRACE

Page 16

…published in 1983, among other things places birth as the determining factor in creating basic personality constructs, called sympathetic and parasympathetic, which roughly coincide with the more common terms introversion and extroversion.

This work is more empirical and neurophysiologically rooted than most in the field. While the book is recognized in the field, Janov and his work have not gotten anywhere near the respect and  attention that they deserve. He remains the unfortunate kicking- boy of a movement that is itself scapegoated by the academy and  the larger scientific community.

The actual stimulus for a new field of pre- and perinatal psychology and the Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH) was Thomas Verny’s (1981) The Secret Life of the Unborn Child.

…older paradigm, interpenetrating it thoroughly with something approaching a “field model” (my terms) of the universe.

The combined model explains the phenomena of everyday life, of “normal” science, as well as a huge and increasingly accumulating body of unexplainable data and evidence that is continually erupting out of the “new” natural sciences (in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, anthropology, and psychology, especially transpersonal psychology); out of the human potential phenomenon and new, experiential psychotherapeutic and growth techniques, such as primal therapy and holotropic breathwork; out of psychedelic, consciousness, and brain (especially brain waves) research; out of a decades-long now Western fascination with and intense engagement with Eastern world-view, philosophy, and spiritual practice; and out of an equally long and parallel interest in the paranormal and the occult.

The holonomic (combined) model is explanatory and predictive. Yet it does so without having to exclude known, observable, empirically validated facts and evidence —

It’s Not the Fourth of July, However ... .

You do not seem to be able to see a story that does not have explosions galore.

Such “fireworks” are examples of extreme compression suddenly becoming immense expansiveness and thus symbolize the sudden perinatal change of state from compression inside the womb to previously unknown expansiveness outside the womb as well as the sudden release of tension and compression upon being born.

Explosions also symbolize the immediate assault of sensation upon coming out of the sensorally “muffled” womb.

There is lots of violence, and of course also sex. Such extreme degrees of sexual explicitness and especially sexual perversity point to strong BPM III influences.

…“moment” with the aid of the therapist, we were allowed to simply “be” more fully where we were already “at.” In doing so we found that feeling states deepened. As was said at the Center, “a feeling, is a feeling, is a feeling.” Meaning that whatever the client was feeling was the correct process, there was no “big primal” to get to, and that the present state, in every Now, was the correct one and was where one needed to be.

We understood that all feelings were equally important and that, as for that dramatic big “primal” — imagined as necessary out of a common misinterpretation of Janov’s wording in his first book — what happened is that when one allowed whatever was going on to happen, those experiences deepened in intensity, in meaning, in insight and connections made, and in healing power. So those deepest, most intense experiences were primals, but all of it was “feeling one’s feelings.” And that — feeling whatever feelings came up — was the crucial and important thing. This tao of therapy (my term, not Denver’s) was expressed in Denver as, “the best way to get to where you are going is to be most fully exactly where you are.”

Alongside this radical acceptance and honoring of the “Now,” was a radical acceptance and empathy, from the facilitator, of whatever came up in the client in the course of a session and in whatever form.

PREFACE

Page xix

In Part Three, “Science as Myth,” I begin, first of all, to touch upon the ways these newer awarenesses have been thought of in the past. And surprisingly, with some of the deconstruction done in the first two parts, we find that science has made some gross misassumptions and thrown away some bathwater that has a viable life in it. I help to resuscitate those ideas, and I show how they actually integrate with some of the outermost rings of our findings from science at this time.

Part Four begins the advance down the freeway to the new world, the new paradigm, the one where matter is discovered to be alive. In “The Consciousness of Stones,” I explain how that position is not just plausible, it is the only rational one left, all things considered. I bring forth some of the reasons — some anthropocentric, some simply habits of thought that are correctible — for why this new cosmic overstanding has not been unveiled before, as well as why significant parts of it, which would have revealed the rest, were historically cast aside.

…people throughout the globe. Indeed, I myself, sitting in my travel trailer in California and hooked up to wifi presenting a portal to the world’s mind, was able to participate. I was caught up in the euphoria and terrors of others whose language and cultures I would not, previous to the internet age, have had access to or been able to fathom.

Authenticity

So there is near-infinite variety and possibilities for choice in the decisions of what to do and who to be, in these postmodern times, along with an increasingly consolidated worldwide culture. It would seem a paradox, until you realize that worldwide culture is this massive amalgamation of all cultures currently, as well as their traditional antecedents. We are settling on a worldwide identity that partakes, for its elements and its composition, of near infinite variation of cultural possibilities gleaned from throughout the world. 

It would seem daunting, no?

And that is the reason for this book.

Whereas the time in early gestation, where things were easy and our needs were fully satisfied, would have a societal analogue in a socialist economic system, we cannot abide such a situation without difficulty. Everywhere around, in particular among conservatives of all nations, we hear the same refrain about the “survival of the fittest” and the “cruel” and “unfair” nature of reality. Yet it is not reality that is cruel and unfair. Indeed, we make it so out of our belief, which is rooted in this PME 2 oxygen deprivation wherein reality once was like that.

Beyond that, we are forever fearful of a loss of resources or ability to fill our needs — which comes out in panic about employment, finances, and social status. We are always fearful that we are one event away from “being on the streets”; for, back then, “things were tight.” Notice how our language expresses both PME 1 as well as PME 2 feelings when speaking about resources. Yet we, for the most part in our societies on Earth, refuse to change such a situation and only reluctantly allow entitlements. Indeed, some sectors of society are actively at war with such largesse to those in need. Additionally, folks only occasionally support programs and politicians that contribute to a fairness in taxation that would have those with more ability to help be required to contribute more. Lastly, we show this imprint in that only a small…

Arthur Janov

Primal Therapy, Traumas of Birth and Early Life and Healing Them, Empirical Foundations and Neurophysiology of Early Events and Healing

Perhaps the major theorist and popularizer of the phenomenon of re-experience (which he termed primaling), Janov was reluctant to acknowledge the pervasiveness of pre- and perinatal re-experience and trauma. Yet when he did, it was in a major work on birth trauma, which remains as a touchstone in the field in its depth and detail. Imprints: The Lifelong Effects of the Birth Experience,…

A New Paradigm Emerging

Stanislav Grof (1970, 1975, 1980, 1984, 1985, 1988a, 1988b; Grof and Grof 1980, 1989, 1990; Grof and Halifax 1977) is one such pioneer in this sort of “useless” research. Though he is by no means alone, I mention him in that he has achieved far more than simply demonstrating the validity of particular incorrigible facts that turn our familiar, comfy, Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm on its ear. Additionally, Grof (1985) puts forth a model, a framework for a new paradigm. Bringing together the physicist Bohm’s (1980) model of the universe and the neurosurgeon Pribram’s (1971, 1976) model of the brain, he presents a holonomic “perspective” or “theory” based upon the idea of a hologram. The important aspect of this perspective is that it allows the inclusion and understanding of these new existential facts, yet does not contradict the Newtonian-Cartesian view of the world. The model includes the…

Tube and Cinematic Violence Galore

Simply the amount of violence on television and in movies is a perinatal indicator. These depictions simulate, and stimulate, perinatal feelings in plot elements which are repeated to death.

Matters of Life and Death

We see clichéd regurgitations of being in life and death situations from which one is saved in the “nick of time.” This is exactly how it seemed when one was “miraculously” born, suddenly, after what seemed an endless time of suffering in which death was felt to be the only possible outcome.

Furthermore, such direction by the therapist-facilitator can lead the client away from where they need to and are able to go — possibly into areas that fit more with the therapists’ paradigm, that fit more with the facilitator’s preconceptions of what is possible and how the client’s process is “meant” to unfold, and not where the client needed or could go. This would not be helpful at all in allowing a therapeutic endeavor that could discover anything new, anything beyond what had been conceived beforehand by Janov. As mentioned above, this would lead clients away from the interpretation of valid spiritual states or the joy grids. They would not happen with Janov’s clients because they would not be thought to be able to happen.

The Tao of Therapy

What I saw that allowed access to these deeper states — access to the joy and spiritual grids — was more along the lines of what was proposed  by Janov’s one-time head of training, Jules Roth, and his wife and co- therapist, Helen Roth, and their followers and trainees at the Certified  Primal Therapists’ Center in Denver, Colorado.

This is where I experienced the bulk of my Primal work and training. And there, instead of directing ourselves to an elusive primal…

In Part One of this book, “Being Shiva — Destroying and Creating Worlds,” I advance an argument based on taking a look at some assumptions we clearly do make and upon which we build all of our knowledge, our science, and our beliefs about what is real. It comes down to anthropocentrism, which is a species-centrism more disastrous for our understandings of trueness than any of the other centrisms — ethnocentrism, egocentrism, or any other.

In doing that I unveil the layers of reality construction upon which we construct that anthropocentrism. This is an epistemological undertaking, for in doing this the intent is, by pulling away the false pillars upon which we build our world, to find out what can be known instead: What might actually be true. What might give us surer footing from which to view our worlds.

In Part Two, “Transcending Worlds,” I begin to advance the notions that we might genuinely consider, once the false ones have been swept away. These are panoramas of understanding that open up once the curtain of anthropocentrism has been pulled to the side. We find a flourishing new world revealed. One that borders on wonder.

The consequences of pervasive multiculturalism are obvious and make our nightly news. It is at the root of both our newer immigration problems as well as our perennial problems of racism and religious bigotry. The benefits of multiculturalism are less talked about, though. Yet it is the advance of notions of mutual tolerance and the embrace of cultures and people unlike ourselves which provide the context against which the fear and bigotry stand out and demand solutions. Nonetheless, the potency of a worldwide monolithic culture for eliciting massive changes in human personality, destiny, and potential is rarely seen; yet it cannot be overestimated. It most certainly could be more utilized; it could open upon an entire new motherlode of resources for us in our times.

To some extent this positive trend of a monolithic culture and the reduced bigotry and racism come of multiculturalism is being felt on social media and the internet. While those involved are rarely aware of the revolutionary nature of their involvements therein, still the effects of such pervasive sharing of culture and beliefs has had its consequences of huge historical import. And some are overtly revolutionary as in the uprisings during the Arab Spring of 2011, which was shared by many millions of…
