…which caused us to block all that out. We are born with a tabula rasa, a mental blank slate, because we have repressed out of our consciousness (we have created an unconscious)  all that we are and could be if we had not suppressed, re- pressed, and forgotten who we are. So that,

d) Onto this blank slate we pour all the necessary learnings we need to survive; we do this through a process of parenting. However, unlike the mind sharing of other planetmates, we are only going to get any learnings we do as funneled through an even more narrowed consciousness, one even more split from Divinity or the mind we share in common with the Universe. And that more narrowed consciousness is that of our caregivers, one’s parents, usually. Thus,

e) Culture — which is the accumulated, infinitely varied, and unavoidably flawed understandings of how to behave and survive in the world, developed over time, and different in every society — steps in where mind sharing ... what we disrespectfully call instinct ... should be.

— but they control as well all the information systems.

“That is why, indeed, so many of you will disregard truth so easily. For you do know that saying the truth, down through the ages, got people killed.

“When I say they controlled the information I mean that they pronounced for all that lived under their thumb what exactly the truth was: what attitudes to have, even, what religion one had to believe in. And so they, like those of the current era — should there be one daring to “not mind his own business” and to find out and to spread some of the realities of their lot and the truths, inconvenient to those in power of course, which would tear a hole in their cruder but just as pervasive and hypnotic unreality — well these people were, sometimes in full view so as to warn others, and other times, like under Pinochet, or the Chinese at the time of the Tiananmen Square, there would be an outside disapproving world to such behavior, so these outspoken people simply disappeared in the dead of night.

INTRODUCTION

Sexual and Pleasure Repression

Hugely important amid the thought-and-emotion control was that of sexual behavior. Religion and the Controllers embraced the notion that even sexuality was a source of uninhibited expression of emotion, outside the control of the elite, so sexuality became demonized ... at least for the lowly. Sexuality was both a reminder of our erstwhile belongingness in Nature as well as it was a powerful source of potential defiance, thus requiring repression.

The quality of life of the dominated, including love, was more than just not important to the Controllers, which was true. On a level so fundamental it could not even be seen, the personal feelings, motivations, and individual ends of those lower in status got in the way of the ends the Controllers had in mind. Human feeling, intention, and choice were thought to be arenas designated only for them. Those who controlled deemed themselves risen to the heavens, at times thinking they were gods, at times demanding they be thought of that way.

In this scheme, the subdued and the server classes were viewed as no more than props in the dramas the elite would concoct. They were not more important, often even less so, than the planetmates who had earlier been enslaved, similarly to be used at will by humanity.

Now, think about humans’ mother-infant interaction. Compare the two. When we observe human mothering, let us say the mother is breast or bottle feeding her child, you might see the mother and baby looking deeply and for prolonged periods into each other’s faces. The  same kind of intense interaction is characteristic of play times be- tween the two. Each is fully attentive to the nuances of facial  expressions and sound emitted by the other. This is a lengthy inten- sive education for human infants in the finer points of facial  expression. The mother might be making sounds, cooing, using words and talking, perhaps singing or humming in order to soothe and pacify.

Lay that alongside what we normally see in the mother-infant interaction of our primate relatives. Let us take, for example, chimps and gorillas. In Nature, chimps and gorillas do very little of that. A mother might be observed nursing, but her face is often looking off…

Keynote Speech from Ed Begins The Great Reveal

Mister Ed speaks for all planetmates. While it is clear he’s speaking from his own heart, Ed seems to be channeling the cumulative observations and feelings of the unimaginable number of living and dead of all species ever to live on this planet, especially those that observed us. In this message, they bring not just a wake-up call, a warning, and understanding of ourselves that goes beyond what we know. They bring also the way back, to sanity, to safety, in that they tell us not only how we’ve gone wrong, but also how we once had gone right and could once again.

You Ain’t Born Typical

The planetmates show us where we foolishly rebelled against a beneficent Universe, or God; and chose instead to go it alone, to reject the gift of the “given way” of happiness. We did such a stupid thing being fooled by our hubris, which actually arose out of a kind of inferiority complex we carried from birth, being only half-borns compared to all other species.

3. THE FARTHER REACHES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE

Page 41

….state was an “alive” state, and it was one into which we transitioned after death and is where we exist prior to being reborn.

The Wombular and Cellular Veils of Perception

And now what is at hand, though I have been sharing these ideas widely for decades in both professional and nonprofessional circles, is an understanding of the bases of our understandings of reality as formed by our early experiences, most importantly those in the womb and as cells. This points to a provocative inquiry into the nature of Reality beyond the confines of physical life, beyond the templates laid down in us of early, prenatal, and cellular human experience ... beyond the “seven Veils.”

In Dance of the Seven Veils, this work laid out in three books, I describe how our personalities, and especially our basic mythologies, theologies, and beliefs, are laid down in us through our earliest experiences — adolescence, infancy, birth, the womb, and cellular existence, with each stage of development incorporating and reframing the conceptualizations previous.

Fascinating, deeply complicated social dynamics of Bedouin tribes.

From Lila Abu-Lughod’s Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society
#booksky 💙📚 #anthropology

Identity in Relationship
What differentiates marriage to paternal kin from other types of marriage, and how are the differences evaluated? For most, the advantages do not have to do with sexual excitement. Indeed, some older men complained that the "marital" (sexual) side of such marriages was limited. As one polygynously married man put it, "My other wives are better with me personally," although he went on to explain that he nevertheless preferred his cousin-wife, for reasons to be enumerated below. Certain young men complained that the trouble with marrying a cousin was that she was like a sister.2 An unmarried man mused, "You won't feel like talking and flirting. And she knows everything about you, where you go, who you see." He implied that she would therefore not be in awe of her husband, reducing the power differen-tial. Girls occasionally voiced a wish to see something, new by marrying an outsider, since then they would leave the camp. They did not talk (at least to me) about the sexual aspect of marriage._

b) Since our brains are too big to be able to stay in the womb the twenty-one months it would need for us to be born at the level of development comparable to other species when they are born, we are born prematurely with our brains not fully developed enough. Perhaps not developed enough to do that “mind sharing” that other species are able to do?

c) At any rate, then we are born with even more pain, birth trauma. This causes us to lose any last traces of connection  with Divinity or the participation of the individual conscious- ness in that of the group. So, indeed, we are born with a  “blank slate.” Not because we have nothing, no instinct, no sense of self, no prior understandings or proclivities, or even instructions, but rather because all that we did have, unlike all other species, was wiped off our “slate,” our consciousness, during those prenatal and perinatal times of excruciating pain,…

“No, for it seems that no matter how facile your kind is in lying even to itself, your kind still has some kind of basic survival mechanism that tells them that they have in fact performed great evil — great evil and suffering that could very well result in an uprising against them by an enraged populace.

“But then under Reagan, just as now in the eight years under Bush the W where it became increasingly clear to the overseers that only the complete stomping into the dirt of the other than wealthy could keep them from rising up in revolt.... Yes, then too, part of them knew the great wrong they were doing and were fearful — so what else is new? — your kind doing the greatest of evils and terrorizing and murdering because of the fears that the tyrants harbor.

“So these class wars — well hardly wars.... For with the wealthy always and everywhere not only controlling and directing the Muscle and Might — used to keep the masses down and humbled and suffering and near starving, as a way of keeping them from getting strong enough to rise up in anger…
