…healing-growth of the primal process. For busts involve bringing in an authoritarian tone with all the baggage that carries from childhood and the usual experiences one has of know-it-all, judgmental, order-issuing parents. Sure, a misapplied “bust” could lead to more processing and clearing of painful issues, down the line. All experience is helpful to that end. Yet — with issues now projected onto the therapist and the lack of confidence in and disrespect of the facilitator accompanying that — who to lead the client to and through that?

The primary job of the therapist is to be authentic and real and to model that to clients who have no clue as to what that is like or even looks like. This sometimes, though infrequently, involves the therapist deciding correctly what confrontation is therapeutic and necessary ... so as not to participate in enabling the client, for one thing. Truth is first and foremost a characteristic of authenticity, and the therapist must provide clear and honest “reflecting back,” although as deftly kind and regardful as possible. However, who leads one “around” a counselor who is him- or herself in the dark and acting out, even if only subtly? It stymies the process. Dead stop. Swirling.

We express this mythologically when we describe Prometheus as being chained to a rock, or Sisyphus pushing a boulder endlessly up a hill, among many other myths of no-exit helplessness. We express this in our cultural tales when we relate how Snow White was constricted and compressed within a bodice with stay laces pulled exceedingly tight, causing her to faint. Worst of all we manifest this in many and diverse cultural practices that involve being buried to death — as when innocent girls are buried up to their chests in Muslim countries and then stoned to death; and in medieval tortures that involve crushing devices and incarceration in dungeons.

Suffocated-Deprivation, PME 2

The second template I call prenatal matrix of evil 2, or PME 2. It is all about not getting enough oxygen, being stifled, gasping feelings, shortness of breath, an intense and seemingly dire want and need.

Ever after we will be driven to compensate for this lack by taking more than we need, as in greed; by encroaching on others — war and aggression; and by feeling ever the victim of unfair forces. Greed is so…

Unconditional Regard and the Primal Process

As for how one accessed these deeper levels of the primal process, I discovered that a radical unconditional acceptance ... an unconditional regard bordering upon, if not actually, love ... beyond even that advanced by Janov, was crucial in facilitating them. And I proposed to other therapists that this be employed.6

Certainly, Janov employed a radical “client-centered” therapy, using the words of Carl Rogers. Primal states simply cannot be accessed without a radical acceptance by the therapist of all possible feelings and feelings-states that can arise in the client. The facilitator had to be more than just “okay” with the emergence of this widely varied material. That acceptance had to be authentically embodied in the facilitator.

Still, Janov retained a small bit of an authoritarian model in that his version of therapy used “busts” — interpretations inserted by the therapist that are meant to stimulate the therapeutic process and possibly precipitate breakthroughs. Often useful, they come with a caveat: For the therapist must always be correct in such interpretations. Wrong input into the therapeutic process can do significant damage to the…

We act out of these feelings throughout our lives. For one thing, we can no longer move in an uninhibited way, and we bring this trauma, since unconscious and unacknowledged, into our reality in the form of overpopulation. Remember, what we do not integrate into conscious- ness, what remains in our unconscious, therefore, we bring about in our reality. As Jung put it, paraphrasing, what we do not acknowledge, what is unconscious, appears outside us as fate. So it is that we act out these templates through our politics, environmentally, internationally as wars, and interpersonally through aggression and bigotry.

The crowdedness in particular leads to feelings we need to expand and overrun neighboring territories, for we never feel we have enough room. We have wars of expansion and imperialism as a result. We act out this same feeling environmentally because we feel it, too, constricts us. So we lash back at Nature — slashing and burning to create more room, paving it over, assaulting the wilderness for subconsciously wanting anything natural or biological to be trounced. For Nature and biology, in the form of our mother’s body, once hemmed us in. The mother’s body was the environment for us in the womb; it compressed- oppressed us, and ever after we are at war, equally unfortunately, with Nature and with women.

…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.

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.

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…

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.

— 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…

…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.

These factors in the third trimester, including placental insuffi- ciency, extreme compression, and hypoxia (low oxygen) — which is a consequence of both the insufficiency and the compression — create a set of peculiarly human experiences prenatally, which I term the prenatal matrices of human evil, the PMEs.

Such events perinatally comprise our distinction from the rest of Nature. They are what makes humans to be humans. And the simmering suffocation from this time in the womb is one of them.

Additionally, this seemingly endless time is characterized by that crowdedness I mentioned. This compression and frustrating inability to move freely causes the no-exit feelings that Grof describes as characterizing BPM II. My difference from him is in showing how this important and pervasive feeling of adults, which creates claustrophobia and panicky feelings of stuckness and being trapped, is not merely a product of a relatively short period of time just before birth and prior to the opening of the cervix. Indeed, the preeminence in human personality of feelings of frustrating inability to move and hellacious entrapment is a result of the fact that this was an experience, prenatally, going on for up to three months before birth.

…compete with the near perfection of an in-womb biological attention to needs as happens to other species. As well, the time in the womb — even though shorter than we would need for comparable, to other species, development at birth of our bigger brain — is still one of excruciating pain due to the extra crowdedness coming as a result of a bipedal mother. For the human mother, standing, compresses the fetus more than a primate mother whose posture, being on all fours, allows the fetus to hang loosely below it. Add that to the fact that a bigger brain itself is taking up space in the womb and contributing to fetal compression.

Finally, what results is that in the third trimester of gestation and especially when the mother is standing, the prenate’s weight bears down and compresses the arteries and veins of the mother bringing nutrients and oxygen. The fetus is thereby deprived of sufficient oxygen and suffers for that. Imagine a situation of being in a stuffy room for a time that seems endless and from which one cannot leave for three months. Reading that statement in itself might have you short of breath right now.

These factors in the third trimester, including placental insufficiency, extreme compression, and hypoxia (low oxygen) — which is a consequence of both the insufficiency and the compression — create a set of peculiarly human experiences prenatally, which I term the prenatal matrices of human evil, the PMEs.
