Culture Versus Instinct

That supposed “blank slate” we are born with — wrought of a pro- cess of forgetting utilized to fend off the overwhelming trauma of the  time — has another important ramification. You might say that most species are born and are either immediately or soon enough able to fend for themselves. How they are able to do that is attributed to what we refer to as instinct.

We arrive at this determination of a factor of instinct, not empirically, but conveniently. By that I mean that instinct is not a thing-in- itself that we have discovered in Nature. No. We see that other  planetmates are able to do all kinds of things without being taught, and since we do not have that same thing we cannot understand it. Not able to understand it we give it a name — instinct. Problem solved.

But what is it? Well, we say it is genetic. It is behavior laid down in the genes. And we have this further rather magical idea that…

You Just Can’t Slay a Volcano

But what may seem to work at the second-line or psychodynamic level — the conquering or slaying of negative feelings ... and notice that I said “seem” — has no place at all at the perinatal ... or, in the case of the world, at the actual. For here, in terms of one’s feelings, the pain energy is overwhelming and pervasive, more than can be dealt with analytically or using one’s intelligence and reason. Similarly, in the outer world, the reality of the situation is too overwhelming and pervasive to be dealt with by piecemeal or “boy scout” approaches. It is also too intense and emotion churning to be dealt with as if it is just another problem to be solved that is on one’s todo list.

Thus the difference between engagement at the psychodynamic versus the perinatal is analogous to that between facing the energy of a dragon and facing that of a volcano. In the outer world, similarly, the evil, like a volcano, is seen to be all-pervasive and intractable. It does not suffice voting out a low-level authority or removing a corrupt official or police officer acting as a tyrant, when the structures of societies throughout the world embody a model of humanity containing a hierarchy with each level below subservient to the one above and the ones at the very top needing to keep everyone below enslaved lest they are ousted from their position at the apex. In such a situation evil cannot be vanquished, if it ever could. Similarly,..

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.

PLANETMATES: THE GREAT REVEAL

Page xvi

Toward Species Relativism and Away from Anthropocentrism

I understand all this, but it struck me that this appraisal was not at all even-handed and suffered from some common biases of thought. I believe it is about time we rethink these prejudices, as we go about eliminating half the species on the planet, short term, because of uncontrollable human greed and insensitivity. Further, with the  increasing awareness among humans about their own species- centeredness and the most promising rising up of valuing of  planetmate consciousness ever in civilization — and the first since Native Americans — it seems that I should say something to address these common misunderstandings.

To begin: Cows engage in female/female mounting. So? Why is that not honorable? Similarly, some monkeys have been known to engage in female genital to genital stimulation (g-g rubbing, it has been termed) when celebrating. What is wrong with that? I would say humans are the ones who are culturally narcissistic and judgmental ... not to mention homophobic. For who do these activities harm? They are physically the equivalent of massaging. But since they do it in contrast to our cultural norms, we call these behaviors dishonorable. So who is not being honorable, really?

— 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…

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.

PREFACE

Page xii

…commitments, careers, causes, service are most likely to return happiness? These are questions we all need to address in our youth, yet throughout our lives as well. They come out again specifically during mid-life, and particularly during the mid-life crisis.

Identity

The primary question of human existence is, “Who am I?” It is the starting place of philosophy as well as one’s identity. The question following that ... number two in priority in a human’s life, since we are act-ors as well as be-ings ... is, then, “Who to be?” We seem to have an inbred knowing that these two are connected: That what one does should be at least somewhat related to who one is.

While throughout human history those are the fundamental concerns of life, they have been taken care of quite readily through the mechanism of culture. Culture is your society’s way of being in the world, its way of thinking, its way of making a pattern out of the infinite possibilities of Reality to provide guidance and orientation in life and in relationship to all around us. It plays into one’s identity ... who to be ... in a huge way.

This indicates that when one does not really deal with evil or unconscious materials and merely whacks away at its most visible (and indirect and symbolic) elements, if it, like the Hydra, does not sprout another head, then it is substituted for with an illusory and fantasy creation. This is a lot like the “positive” thinking one hears so many people espousing. They do not seem to know that in going to war with all their “negative” thoughts they are creating a fantasy world to live in, one that is built up of all the Pegasuses of thought that are born from going after only the most obvious aspects of darkness and evil as represented by thoughts (not feelings).

The movie, Brazil, shows us other intriguing elements. The “hero” in these dreams is shown with wings of metal. Tellingly, while he flies like a bird, his garb is also metallic; he is protected completely by armor. Armor expresses the defensive quality of this “hero’s” quest. It is a substitute quest, divorced from reality, and keeping him from dealing with the real evils in his life and society and with the real shortcomings of his life and in his character and spiritual development.

It is a rather good depiction of the Jungian approach I detailed above, where one, as if in some kind of Plato’s cave of reflected realities, struggles and contends with the reflected images of reality. And in doing so, one is doomed to failure. There is, in actuality, no carrying over of hocus pocus into any real world. Perpetual ritual act…
