THE THIRD DESCENT — PREMATURITY

Page 25

... oh, and sympathetic lovers. But then, being as fucked up and neurotic as we are, simmering in pain atop a hill of trauma, we are the only species who needed to.

At any rate, that extra socialization, with its language and refined communication by way of sound, facial expression, and body posture, lays the foundation for human culture. Indeed, culture steps in to make up for the lack of instinct in humans. More about that, as well, later on.

Monogamy

Secondary altriciality had other consequences which shaped human behavior and human culture. For mothers required assistance, during vulnerable times in pregnancy as well as the busy and all-consuming mothering times after the child’s birth, with food acquisition, safety,  and surviving. This need for outside support contributed to monog- amy as the desired way to go for male-female reproductive pairing ...  at least for women.

We see the differences in male and female tendencies in that regard even today.

To set the stage, I feel it is illuminating to relate an event I vividly remember seeing on the financial news in America, on CNBC, one day, in October of 2008. This occurred as the DOW was experiencing 500 point losses in a day, unprecedented except for during the stock market crash leading to the Great Depression.

One of the expert trader/commentators — a person I’d often seen on the show — was being interviewed on the floor of the actual exchange, seeming to be surrounded by evidence of the carnage. There were actual strewn papers and such, just like in the old days, as I remember it, as stocks were tumbling (again!) with such rapidity that even the old call out system was being implemented, for some reason — for certain financial instruments anyway. And there had been the confusion and the outcries, and yes, even the panic that one would expect to see in an old movie about the Stock Market Crash.

“...our conception, gestation, and birth... can be seen to form our underlying myths ... but much more than that. They also create the very foundational templates upon which we build our view of reality — physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and philosophical....”

There is new material here as well, as fits the topic; additional research directly related to its topic has been done; and the previous material is expanded, restructured, and elaborated, as befits this particular work. Still, faithful readers of my work will notice some repetition, though I daresay will come away with a new appreciation and new insights in their journeying through this material put together in this different way and focused on such a primary concern of all of us at any stage of life and especially amidst the extraordinary worldwide changes in just about everything (environmental, cultural, societal, and personal) which are going on right now. The fact that chapters are taken from both the Return to Grace Series and The Path of Ecstasy Series of my books is also the reason it is a stand-alone book, not included in the two series of books I have been developing and publishing since 2013.
