PROLOGUE: PRIMAL PSYCHOLOGY, FARTHER REACHES OF EXPERIENCE Page 36 …opening up to experiences that occurred before one’s birth and to the relatively contented state of early womb experience. One might need to re-member one’s euphoric blastocyst experience even further back, and sometimes, even, need to tap in to events and experiences before sperm experience, sometimes to connect with egg (ovum) experiences going all the way back to when one was a cell within the ovarian sac within one’s mother, in order to access these truly transformative reorientations to one’s world. Furthermore, beyond these joy grids I postulated spiritual grids, which were spiritual and philosophical ways of living and perceiving reality and looking at the world, which were beyond the joy grids in both quality of beneficence and scope and in their access. What I discovered was that living the joy grids led to earlier primal experiences at the cellular level — specifically, sperm, egg, zygote, and blastocyst — which had characteristically spiritual components and that this coincided with life experience which brought those spiritual perspectives into practice and use and expanded and deepened them.

THE CRISIS OF HUMANITY AND THE NEW HERO’S AND HEROINE’S CYCLE Page xiii And our partner. And this last is something unique to modern times. It has been noted that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet — in which young lovers are tragically blocked by culture and family from choosing each other — presents a dilemma unique to history. While we have always had at least some say in who we marry or partner with — and more so in our primal times, i.e., when we were nomadic foragers or merely gatherer- hunters — with civilization and its hierarchical societies that choice has been largely determined by the surrounding cultural actors, not oneself. Parents or other societal proxies have most often, with civilization, decided with whom one was to spend one’s adult life. Similarly with career, craft, or occupation, historically children are born into the occupations they will adopt in life. Tinker, tailor, spy, or blacksmith, the boy takes up the craft of the father; the girl takes up the family roles and tasks as modeled by the mother. And by the way, that last crinkle in this is telling: The fact that women, in postmodern times, have taken back the freedom to choose careers and service of their own is an aspect of this explosion of cultural possibilities. All this is a product of an upsurge of technological innovation in the areas of communication and travel — specifically, telecommunications, electronic media, social media, and modern travel allowing much more contact between individuals of different cultures — which have revolutionized our way of life and made possible a new paradigm of participation in our societies and of personal identity and style.

Crowded-Frustration, PME 1 The first I have termed prenatal matrix of evil 1, or PME 1, and it is all about the compression and claustrophobic feelings I described as our experience as we push up against the constraints of the mother’s body as we grow. Our blissful time, our “golden age,” of uninhibited growth comes to an end. Our feelings about everything, as well as ourselves, changes. Once the “golden child” and the offspring of Divinity, we are now “cast into hell,” exactly like in the myth of Lucifer. Sure enough, elements of hell are found within our experiences of this time in our life. Feeling crowded and stymied in our movements we feel frustration and no-exit panic. We feel like we are going to die. And we wonder what we might have done to create this seeming “punishment.” This is one of the roots of guilt and especially of what we call humans’ “original sin.” The other causes, while not relevant here, are (1) the survivor guilt of being the only one of the multitudes of sperm to survive conception and (2) the experience at birth that our survival was wrought at a cost of pain to our mothers. Those, later. Immersed in this frustration, however, we want to push everyone and everything away. We are feeling, “Give me some room; give me my space ... back off!” There is both anger and helplessness correlated with this experience. 5. THE PRENATAL MATRIX OF “HUMAN NATURE” Page 61

PRE/PERINATAL PSYCHOLOGY AND PHENOMENON OF RE-EXPERIENCE Page 13 Donald W. Winnicott First Primal Therapist? Birth Relivings, Importance of Birth — Negative Imprints but Positive Effects, Too Another psychoanalyst, and pediatrician as well, Winnicott (1958) also held that birth is remembered and is important. He insisted that the birth trauma is real, but he disagreed with Rank and Fodor that it is always traumatic. He suggested that a normal, nontraumatic, birth has many positive benefits, particularly for ego development. Still, he contended that traumatic birth is permanently etched in memory and leaves a lifetime psychological scar. Winnicott (1958) also suggested the possibility of prenatal trauma. He has been called the first primal therapist in that he described the first birth primals — actual observable relivings of birth — spontaneously occurring by some of his patients during their sessions with him. Thus he was beginning the trend beyond mere talking association or dream analysis as ways of accessing and integrating this material.

Yet when a template for what is truly “good” becomes available — is seen, understood, and is committed to ... in identification and “energetic progress” of it — one truly is lifted out of or past the old dynamic. Eventually the unhelpful patterns fade into insignificance for lack of interest in them. In the example of the alcoholic, this would be the phase wherein the new sober life — with its new patterns of social interaction, new routines of sober activity, and new passions and directions — is arrived at and implemented in one’s life, leaving little interest in retreating into drugs anymore. The major difference between the Primal evolution I am describing and that kind of development in a 12-step program is that through the primal process one can access one’s truest, one’s deepest and strongest, guidance and passions as to what that new life will be like. Being our deepest and most desired self, when realized, it is much easier to adhere to its patterns. It is, indeed, the source of all the positive passions a person can manifest in one’s life. Janov would not know of this even truer self — deeper even than the real self, it being the Divine Self — or these deeper patterns of personal being for his paradigm did not include the possibility of these experiences; and his framework did not allow for the deep experiences required or the time needed to access them. For one thing, to access these kinds of experiences one typically had to continue the primal process past the integration of childhood and birth traumas and to begin… 3.

Wherever you look, the refusal to acknowledge consciousness or feeling awareness to an entity or thing allows unrestrained brutality and exploitation there. Hence, just as the civil rights of minorities, indigenous peoples, women, and children have been only gradually and reluctantly acknowledged over the centuries, so also the awareness and consciousness of the nonhuman world is not the place we start when thinking of it, however much that was the case for our original humans. Remember, for primal humans, the world is alive; consciousness and nobility is awarded planetmates; Nature itself, animate and inanimate, is intentional and aware. This is the way we humans saw the world around us for virtually ninety-five to ninety-nine percent of our history as a species. With civilization, however, and the burgeoning of an overweening ego and a controlling addiction, all of that changed drastically ... and conveniently.

What to believe — as linked to religion, God, spirituality, mythology, good and evil, and much else — are rooted in the patterns of experiences we universally experience over the course of our lives, leading up to adulthood. Importantly, in this book, we look at the self-sabotaging we all do, at why we cannot seem to change those patterns, and, finally, what will allow us to finally be the person we know we can be but which somehow always eludes us. Further, I show how peeling back the layers of that onion is ever more liberating, at every step. And where it ultimately leads ... what is ultimately true ... what is the center of the onion? We get much closer to that in this book, which takes us right up to the rim of cellular consciousness and the No-Form State. Those in particular are addressed in the book following this, Dance of the Seven Veils III: Peri- Conceptional/Transpersonal Psychology, Mythology, and Your Original Face ... Cellular to Soulular, Veil Seven and Beyond. The image that emerges through these works is your original face. And your original face is all these things — Divine, true, realer than real, more positive and loving than you ever thought you could be, and more wonderful and exciting than you can imagine. In the same vein as William Blake, I am saying that, when the Veils across perception are pulled to the side, everything appears as it is ... infinite. DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS II Page xx

From birth on — even before birth as the experiences a mother has are constituted by culture and affect therefore what a prenate experiences to at least some degree — culture puts a stamp on us. The cultural impression delimits the profile of our being and constrains our actions while facilitating others of ours. It opens and closes doors at the same time. Within the outlines of that template, however, we are required to operate and make less fundamental choices. Those choices, patterned and restrained by one’s culture, vary from the most trivial ... what to have for breakfast ... to the profound and life-altering. This, for example, would involve decisions about career and spouse. And something has happened in the current historical era ... something integral to these times being labeled postmodern ... that has made those choices more difficult than they ever have been in history. Yet potentially more freeing, more fruitful, more productive of freedom and felicity, more fulfilling and satisfying can those decisions be than ever before. For in these times — immersed in a multicultural soup with near infinite numbers of potentials and choices — we are responsible, more than ever before, and not as much culture-family- society, for choosing and creating our identity, our path in life.

5. THE PRENATAL MATRIX OF “HUMAN NATURE” Page 61 Prenatal Matrices of Human Evil However, there are other important characteristics of this time which affect us for life. I have detailed four, in particular. These have powerful effects on us and are often crucial in our understandings of what makes us distinct from Nature. You might say they comprise the blueprints of ordinary human consciousness and of much of human personality. These four templates for human consciousness and the roots of human evil can be described as crowded-frustration, suffocated-deprivation, poisoned- disgust, and irritated-revulsion. Among other things, they comprise the basis of human’s unique tendencies to bigotry, to battle and aggression, and to environmental destruction. Let me say a little bit about them. I deal with them in depth in Veil Five. Crowded-Frustration, PME 1 The first I have termed prenatal matrix of evil 1, or PME 1, and it is all about the compression and claustrophobic feelings I described as our experience as we push up against the constraints of the mother’s body as we grow.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Being a Baby Other movies indicating the interest emerging around pre- and perinatal themes are “Look Who’s Talking” and “Look Who’s Talking Too,” which demonstrate a belief in sperm and egg, womb, and infantile consciousness far beyond what mainstream psychology wants to believe. Also, there is the hilarious sperm sequence in Woody Allen’s “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex” in which he and a slew of others are dressed as individual sperm and dialogue about their upcoming great adventure. This idea that sperm and ovum have consciousness can also be heard occasionally in comedic monologues on television and elsewhere. APOCALYPSE – NO! Page 19

We are different; and what we find out in this book is that that difference is what creates all our “advances” of “civilization” ... but also is resulting in an ecocidal, humanicidal plunge at the moment that will end all life on this planet within decades.6 In this book, I go deeply into the specific experiences that commonly occur in the late stages of gestation. I detail them and show how they have created the “matrix of human events.” I make clear just exactly why we have engaged in holocausts; wars; witch burnings; bigotry; greed and the creation of a dominant, moneyed elite; and environmental destruction. While congruent with and inspired by Grof’s and deMause’s work, this book presents entirely new material. These are discoveries and insights that are rooted in my research of many decades in the prenatal and perinatal, and all its related fields, and my own experiences in deep re-experience of birth and before, and the observations I have had of my clients in the various experiential modalities.

PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 16 As mentioned, we see in the fossil records some evidence that our pelvic bones became wider for a while, which would have made birth somewhat easier. But what this probably meant, in actuality, is that the baby, needing twenty-one months in the womb, ideally, (we’ll get to that next chapter) was coming out at some point after nine months. It has been said, the bone records show a gestation of twelve months at one point. This would have been assistive to birthing ape- sized heads and with minimal birth trauma. What is more likely is that our skulls were the larger size and some of that extra gestation needed for the bigger brain’s maturation was still happening in the womb, and there was roughly the same amount of pain involved in birth as there is today. Birth Pain Makes Us Humans Birth Pain Caused the Feverish Minds of Humans, Which We Call Intelligence To continue, remember that what is universally acknowledged to distinguish humans from other species is our intelligence and the elaboration of culture that comes from that. However, with the understanding of skull size, birth, and repression described above, we see these much-touted distinctions and claims to superiority to be merely the byproduct of our neocortical attempts to deal with unconscious pain, specifically, that of birth trauma.

— well, primal folks were often left in that liminal state. Having cleared their old selves from consideration, they lacked the spiritual or transpersonal insight or vision around which to build a newer better person. This might also have been due to the fact that Janov’s prescribed route of primal therapy eliminated, even ridiculed, transpersonal or spiritual experience. As I was saying above, it required my reconceptualization of Janov’s theory, as presented in my writing, for some to have the Primal framework that acknowledged their transpersonal experiences and supported them in going forward into them. What some of us, outside of Janov’s institute, discovered was that it was only when one accessed deeper experiences that were positive ... and it did require one to continue the process until those more positive experiences were accessed ... that one could have a basis for building a better life and making better decisions. Thus, this phase of the primal process amounted to “the second part of The Cure,” as I termed it.5 Keep in mind how this relates to the Veils. For as we peel away the overlying layers of obfuscation of truth, as we undo the blocking of Reality that the reducing-valve of the brain brings about, it is the early templates that provide better foundations for the choices one makes and the patterns of lifeway and life experience one can create. At any rate, along with these grids I proposed a revision to the… PROLOGUE: PRIMAL PSYCHOLOGY, FARTHER REACHES OF EXPERIENCE Page 34

3. THE FARTHER REACHES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE Page 35 …primal therapy as advanced by Janov. Arthur Janov’s program involved only the experiencing of painful events from one’s past — the pain grids. Mine, however, included discovering and re-experiencing aspects of one’s life that were blissful and happy and workable — the joy grids. These were patterns and personal protocols, previously unimagined, which — once accessed and reclaimed — could be brought forward as workable alternatives to the client’s previous self-destructive and maladaptive strategies emanating out of the pain grids. As I like to quote, “The best way to combat evil is to make energetic progress in the good.” That advice from the I Ching, valuable enough in itself, can be applied to the primal process. As long as one was caught in the dynamic of old personality patterns — doing or not doing them, seen now as counterproductive, self-sabotaging or self- destructive, as anti-life, therefore “evil” as in the opposite of live — one made little progress. Yet when a template for what is truly “good” becomes available — is seen, understood, and is committed to ... in identification and “energetic progress” of it — one truly is lifted out of or past the old dynamic. Eventually the unhelpful patterns fade into insignificance for lack of interest in them.

THE SECRET LIFE OF STONES Page xvi …earlier perpetrated The Burning Times and the murder of nine million women at the stake. Not to be disregarded, flawed scientific understanding of consciousness and feeling awareness attributable to our youngest has resulted in modern high-tech obstetrical birthing procedures, which have brutalized neonates and laid a foundation of horror at the roots of modern personalities. This has had incalculable results, as we see for one thing only, in the random and thoughtless eruptions of violence in modern societies and the abilities of organized violence, by nations and terrorist groups, to perpetrate wars, genocides, and other atrocities. Only reluctantly and gradually are newborns not being brutalized, slapped, wrapped, and isolated — as “modern” practices have heretofore dictated — and humane birthing and infancy methods been implemented. The persistence of the notion that newborns are not conscious, supported as it was in the beginning by science, is hard dying. For its part, feeling awareness and memory in the prenate — established now beyond any question — fails to put to rest other archaic thinking such as mistaken speculations about a link between myelination and memory. So ideas about an unconscious existence for fetuses, convenient as they are in facilitating our nonchalance about nurturing our babies while still in their womb, simply refuse to die the death they are due.
