Sixth Descent — Mistrust Both traumas — birth trauma and fetal malnutrition — contributed to the growth of that Ego and affected our personalities in many and varied ways. Part of this was the way it made imperfect humans even more lacking in caring for their infants. Thus we “acquired” even more primal pain because of insufficient satisfaction of needs. Mistrust of Nature Led to Control Compulsion Altogether we learned, early in our lives, that the world around us could not be relied on. Consequently, we began an ever-increasing mistrust of the world, which manifested, critically, in our relation to Nature and our feelings about how well we could have our needs met in it. Since we mistrusted, we began controlling. Control came in to fill the gap of mistrust that lay between need and satisfaction. INTRODUCTION Page 12

#Anthropology updated when I wasn't looking. Human brains grew during a time of adversity. It's not due to meats. BTW, the paleo diet ad Keto diet based on anthro is a lie... but the meat grew brains is also false. Root eaters. humanorigins.si.edu/human-charac... #anthro

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. “We Are a Fever, We Ain’t Born Typical” Birth pain caused the feverish minds of humans, which we call our intelligence. “We are a fever. We ain’t born typical,” is the way The Kills have sung it. And those spinning excess wheels of mental fibrilla tion, driven by human birth trauma, are the gears in the machine of our manic material culture. These factors vied against each other for a long time, with wider pelves and narrower ones competing for ascendance. No doubt, gestations and the amount of birth pain varied as well. Regardless, the skull size had only one direction, up, for it to go. For whatever the compromise of that time in prehistory in terms of the width of… PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 16

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? That kind of being judgmental about all of Nature, and placing it and all of its millions of species below us and judging them according to our arbitrary cultural standards is what makes humans the ignoble ones. Relative to “dumb animals,” that kind of superior attitude, wrought of neurosis and cultural bias, I would contend also makes us the more moronic of planetmates. As for murder, yes, chimpanzees have been known, quite uncommonly, to murder. What is less passed along is that these are chimps who have lived in proximity to humans. These are not chimps in the wild. Take a look at the movies, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and/or Mighty Joe Young if you want to get an idea of why being around humans might instill murderous rage in an otherwise peaceable primate. While they are fiction, the reality is no less telling in regard to crazy-making humans. Even the early studies on baboons and their “aggression” in… PLANETMATES: THE GREAT REVEAL Page xvi

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.

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.

Much (probably most) evidence of the earliest human migration to the Americas rests beneath the ocean: The Pacific coastline of 20,000+ years ago (along which the first Americans likely migrated) is now deep underwater.

Here's an example of how the precious remains get lost:

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… THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 41

INTRODUCTION Page 12 Thus, we were beginning to have fetal malnutrition, because of our upright gait, which was another source of hellacious pain for us as neonates having vast consequences for human psychology. We stood up, and our soon-to-be-born children got really crowded in the womb. They were suffocating and starving in there, too. Fifth Descent—Ego Big brains were one way of dealing with this ever-mounting pain and trauma at our beginnings. However, concomitant to that was the creation of an Ego. In order to keep our early pain repressed as well as to seek the satisfaction of needs — now dependent on society for them — in a haphazard world, with no real certainty those needs would be met, we evolved an adaptation of consciousness that was split from Nature and removed from our experience of life. This Ego, being separate from experience, sought to act as a director or controller of the items of our consciousness as well as of our immediate environment. Our egos were modeled upon our parents, of course. So we would have all the shortcomings they had. Or we would have others in response or in reaction to theirs. This is called human personality.

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.
