…particular set of stimuli is “objectively” neutral until “interpreted” by an organism relative to its physiological makeup, its species.

This, of course, makes perfect sense. There is nothing inherently painful in a stimulus that is produced by something whose molecules are moving at such a speed and manner that one would measure its temperature at, say, two hundred degrees Fahrenheit. That degree of heat is not “objectively” painful. It would be painful to us, to humans, however. Yet, one could easily imagine a species for which that particular vibrational rate would be within its tolerance range. The quality of pain ... the very existence of pain, even ... is relative to the perceiving organism, its species. It is determined by the species physiology, and in humans this determination is made for us during the journey of the neural firing through interior areas of the brain, far out of our conscious awareness. 

Let us take a more subtle example. There is nothing inherently comforting or even pleasurable in a caress — that is, the pattern of stimuli involving the moving of one particular organism’s surface against another’s, in a particular way. Those “particulars,” along with other aspects, are what go into defining caress by means of a complex communication among billions of neural cells and their components inside the brain.

EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY

Page 34

“It is, I think, particularly in periods of acknowledged crisis that scientists have turned to philosophical analysis as a device for unlocking the riddles of their field. Scientists have not generally needed or wanted to be philosophers.” —  Thomas Kuhn

“The historian of science may be tempted to claim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. Led by a new paradigm, scientists adopt new instruments and look in new places. even more important, during revolutions, scientists see new and different things when looking with familiar instruments in places they have looked before. It is rather as if the professional community had been suddenly transported to another planet where familiar objects are seen in a different light and are joined by unfamiliar ones as well.” — Thomas Kuhn

Concessions to the Status Quo

Still, a product of his times, he could not break completely with his  culture and society, and he rationalized all kinds of child-care (child- rearing) as being “good enough,” in that they did not result in overt  psychopathology. Although there are almost always covert psychopathologies, we later discovered, in even the most “normal” of us which can erupt at any time.

There is no doubt in my mind that this concession to the norms of the child-caring of his time and to the truisms about child development and “rearing” embedded in the psychology of it accounts for the much greater regard accorded Winnicott, of all in the prenatal and perinatal field. Despite this, interestingly, his prenatal and perinatal understandings are hidden from child development texts. Not coincidentally, it is his “good enough” rationalization of the majority of child-rearing, non-confrontational as it is and…

An Experiential Metaphysical — Experience Is Divinity and Funny God

Subsequent to these discoveries and their eventual postulations as theories, frameworks for understanding, and paradigms, came a further elaboration that involved a description of Reality as essentially Experience, with matter being metaphor for true existence — which was coincident with the findings of quantum physics and Idealistic and panentheistic perspectives of all times. This I did in Experience Is Divinity: Matter As Metaphor (2013). In it, I addressed the metaphysical basis of reality. As I put it, the data from consciousness research calls for an existential metaphysical, one that takes as the basic unit of Reality to be one’s immediate Experience in any moment, with all its components of experience — cognitive, emotional, sensations, feelings, and experiences even subtler, for which there might as yet be no words.

I also put forth an understanding of spiritual or metaphysical reality and the corresponding life program and goals that come from it in Funny God: The Tao of Funny God and the Mind’s True Liberation (2015). Additionally, I introduced the notion of the No-Form State — as being the state outside of all falls from grace, both prior to Form ... that is, before the creation of sperm and egg ... and after Form, which is to say, after death.

Based on empirical data of several kinds, I speculated that such a…

That is to say that the organism does not detect the outside world through its senses, it determines the outside world through them. Or at least it interprets that outside world in a way that is determined by its biological makeup. Whatever is in Reality is being scanned, sorted through: In the process of our perceiving, our senses are picking through an infinity of possibilities of what could be detected to select what will be “sensed,” perceived. After that, it is concocted: What the senses have chosen out of everything possible is then determined in terms of its relation to the biology of the organism, meaning what species it is. Then it is interpreted: An understanding of the experience is arrived at which sees it in the context of the culture one is given by one’s society.

A sensation does not discern anything initially, at the moment of sensing. The sensation is interpreted later. The organism does not even distinguish between pleasure and pain — to use one crude but useful example — until later. The pattern of neural firings created by any…

A Call to Our Sciences to Embrace the Awakening, Which  It, Too, Has Been Resisting 

Although our very survival depends on a paradigm change, or shift, it is being resisted mightily by our communities of scientific researchers. This Scientific Awakening is as much a threat to the corporate hegemony over modern culture as is the social and political Awakenings. There has been as much a battle in science over the last fifty years — a scientific culture war, if you will — as there has been the one in our societies around the world ... and for the same reasons.  Paradigm shift threatens the status quo.

“The crises of our time, it becomes increasingly clear, are the necessary impetus for the revolution now under way. And once we understand nature’s transformative powers, we see that it is our powerful ally, not a force to be  feared or subdued.” — Thomas Kuhn

Play Therapy and Reevaluations of Ego and Id

Descending as he did from the Freudian tradition — Winnicott was a student of psychoanalyst, Melanie Klein — still, Winnicott, like some others being mentioned here, differed with Freud, not just in his interpretations of selves, or components of the psyche, but in the way to do therapy. He saw the psychoanalytic framework involving an authoritarian analyst and a compliant client as fostering the false self. Instead he used play, in his therapies, as a way to bring out and foster connection with the true self, which he saw as having components of creativity, wholeness, and well-being.

Indeed, in seeing this component of personality, the true self — what Freud might interpret as the id — as being a source of healing, creativity, and growth, as opposed to the healing force emanating from the “rational” ego, his therapy was a turnabout on Freud’s. Similarly, his interpretation of what Freud would undoubtedly have called the ego as being a false self — one which blocks real aliveness, connection to others, and creativity, and is comprised of defenses seen as much less useful and necessary as Freud’s defenses were seen to be — is a similar significant revisioning of psychoanalytic understanding.

Thus, the purpose of life was to experience what one would as ego — as seemingly imperfect, muddled, and often out and out seemingly wrong, as that necessarily would be — in order to, by pain and unhappiness, be prodded into a path of return, spiritual return, primal spiritual return, back to Divinity, wholeness, and Grace.

You’re born, you become less, you create an ego, separate from the All, you have experiences.

These experiences enrich you, though they seem to be  mistakes at the time.

You seek your own destruction through them, as well,

so that in this lifetime or many, you return to the All.

…brain where they are then interpreted. Therefore, in a purely psychophysiological way, the world “out there” is not defined in and of itself.

Cultures Create Worlds

In fact, ultimately our world is defined in the part of the person that stores cultural information — the cerebral cortex. What this is saying is that cultures create worlds. One’s view of the world, arrived at through the process of enculturation in a person’s development, is determined by one’s culture, by the knowledge and experiences one has had in interaction with one’s society. The experience of hearing a particular sound is not known to be that of hearing someone talking to us, until the cortex defines those sounds as words.

Biology Creates Worlds

However, notice that before any cultural interpretation, those “messages” have had a journey through areas of the brain that define them prior to or outside of culture. Before any stimuli are interpreted as words, for example, a part of us determines that they are sounds.

Furthermore, and slightly different from Janov, the significance of the true and false self for the purposes of the perinatal is that Winnicott saw the origins of the true and false selves as being in early infancy, related to the acquiring of satisfaction of needs in that early state. While Janov traces the beginnings of the split that far back, he stresses the consolidation of the unreal self and the near total split with the real self as occurring at a singular event occurring at the around age of four or five — the primal scene. The primal scene is the significant precipitating event causing one to give up one’s struggle to stay real and to surrender to the unreal. Aside from this difference in emphasis, the two are very much in agreement.

However, the qualification I need to make regarding his conceptualizations versus Janov’s is that Winnicott saw value in the false self as somehow retaining the interests of the true self. In this way, he saw the false self — as Freud thought as well for his ego, only even more so — as having a function. This is completely unlike Janov who saw the unreal self as being something completely inauthentic which blocks the expression of the real self and needs to be overthrown, “violently,” as Janov put it. Thus Winnicott, in terms of the valuation and view of the ego/unreal self/false self holds a midway point between the positions of Freud and Janov.

However, this process of forgetting, as I called it — this “descent” through the four falls from grace, which creates a person’s ego — is essentially a neurotic one. It is neurotic, because it is essentially maladaptive and self-destructive and creates an unreal self (using Janov’s term) which is inauthentic and which ultimately desires its own revolution or destruction in a spiritual process of re-membering and which inevitably, whether in one lifetime or many, brings that about. It is neurotic also in that it is a derailment of one’s healthy unfolding of personality and a deflection of that natural process onto substitute pathways. Which alternate pathways are, for the person, ever more inauthentic, increasingly more self-sabotaging, and pathetically more trivial, at each stage of descent from “grace.”

As I put it, the end result of the neurotic process of diminishment of consciousness through the four falls from grace which creates the Ego and is responsible for the much talked about “ego strength” proposed by Ego psychologists ... the end result of all this was an insensitive sort — the kitty-drowners and butterfly-mashers of the world. I feel pretty sure I do not need to define that sort of personality for you.

On-line at youtube, I recommend a video, titled “Holographic Universe,” which is an excellent overview of the model and makes the clear case that science has most definitely overturned the materialistic paradigm which birthed it hundreds of years ago.

All that being said, I wish to point out that the recent and rapid emergence of the field of transpersonal psychology itself is pushed by an inability to continually disregard the evidence of our own senses that does not fit with the mechanical paradigms we were taught.

This new evidence, which is pouring forth on the cutting edges of our modern sciences, has made the Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm as obsolete as the flat earth one.

Constructing the Matrix — the Four Stages of Forgetting

Following upon these discoveries I realized that there were definite stages in the buildup of these grids and they corresponded to significant events in one’s life: The events are conception, birth, the primal scene, and the Identity stage of life. I called these the four falls from grace. Each event represented a diminution of Self or authentic beingness and a retreat from an innate spirituality and patterns of bliss and expanded perception, which characterizes us all at our beginnings and can actually be called Divine.7

Without being aware of the theories of Mott, Shoham, or Wasdell, and based only on personal experience of deep Primal states and observing and facilitating others in these states, along with relevant real life experience of my self and others and pertinent, salient research, I realized that life was a process of reduction of awareness from an original omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent state — a Divinity, a Divine state, a Godhead, a Source — which sets up the process of Ego construction and human experience.

The holonomic (combined) model is explanatory and predictive. Yet it does so without having to exclude known, observable, empirically validated facts and evidence — without undeservedly casting upon them the light of nonexistence or, worse still, ignoring them, simply because their validity gives rise to a very human “uncomfortableness.” Such data trigger a certain insecurity  in that they undermine a familiar, habitual, and thoroughly ego- invested commitment to a view of reality.

The purposes of this chapter do not allow an elaboration of either the new evidence or the new paradigm that I have discussed and for that I refer the reader to references being mentioned.

He has been called the first primal therapist in that he described the first birth primals — actual observable relivings of birth — spontaneously occurring to some of his patients during their sessions with him. Thus he was contributing to the trend beyond mere talking association or dream analysis as ways of accessing and integrating this material.

True Self and False Self

Winnicott presaged Arthur Janov’s assertion of the real self and the unreal self with his postulation of the true self and the false self. According to Janov, the real self is the healthy self that one would have been if one did not have painful traumas requiring the establishment of defenses, which block clear perception of reality; and the real self is recoverable through deep experiential psychotherapy, specifically, Janov would say, that of primal therapy. The unreal self, Janov contends, is the unhealthy self we all develop in order to get our needs met, which involves a denial of our real needs and compliance with outside others in order to receive safety and the…

Alongside this radical acceptance and honoring of the “Now,” was a radical acceptance and empathy, from the facilitator, of whatever came up in the client in the course of a session and in whatever form. Certainly we directed clients to go “deeper,” with whatever was going on, but we did not “bust” — thus we retained a certain degree of humility regarding our supposed therapeutic powers and wisdom, in that respect — and we required of ourselves to have gone far and deep in our own process so that we would not, even unconsciously, seek to direct or derail or channel any feelings of the client’s onto routes more intellectually or more emotionally satisfying to us.

If you think about this kind of radical unconditional regard and you compare it with some of the techniques used on spiritual paths ... some of which might involve a truly all-accepting and profoundly loving guru ... and you bring to mind the kind of euphoric, all-encompassing acceptance and contentment many of us have experienced in our early womb states — what Grof calls BPM I experience — you might see why our way in Denver might be more conducive than Janov’s in making possible access to earlier states. With those states related, specifically, to joy and to spiritual grids, you can understand how a different and more positive type of “post-primal” person, from that described as resulting from Janov’s method alone, could be brought forth.
