Need I mention the continuing explosion of the world’s population leading to likely famine, wars, diseases, and so on? We have twice as many people alive now as the combined total of all humans who have ever lived! Yet right-wingers are perennially on the attack against Planned Parenthood, here in the United States. We are no different from bacteria who overrun their petri dish only to die off. We certainly aren’t showing ourselves to be any smarter than that.

How about the possibility of virulent epidemic that cannot be cured?  Strains of micro-organisms are evolving that are immune to our much- touted antibiotics.

But why go on? If you are not aware of these things, you are from some other planet. If you are dismissing these facts, you are in actual psychological denial of your dire situation. If you are not paying attention, you are spending your life desperately running away.

No, I will not dwell on the measurements and technical data to drive home my points. If for no other reason, that is where most folks stop listening. The evidence and statistics are there for all to see, crying out for…

“Well, your Dudeness, your Fearlessness Most Strong and Mighty, I have a few humble questions to ask of you,” I say. 

“Ok, old fart, go ahead.”

“I see clearly that you’re showing the world you don’t fear death. But how is that going to help the world any. I mean if everyone felt like you ... let’s say that was your aim ... well then we’d all go down, patting each other on the back on how it doesn’t matter, but never to be heard of again!”

FALLS FROM GRACE

Page 22

…Matrix I (BPM I) is related to the generally blissful or “oceanic” feelings that often characterize the fetus’s state in the womb in early and middle pregnancy. BPM II is characterized by “no exit,” hellish feelings that are related to the situation of the fetus in late pregnancy when the confines of the womb become ever more apparent but there is as yet no indication of any possibility of relief. BPM III relates to the birth process itself, the birth struggle, which is still characterized by feelings of compression and suffering but in which there is movement and change and thus hope of relief through struggle. If BPM II can be compared to hell, where there is no hope, BPM III is more like purgatory. Finally, BPM IV relates to the actual entry into the world, the termination of the birthing process, and is characterized by feelings of triumph, relief, and high, even manic, elation.

In his descriptions of the levels of experience and the matrices of perinatal experience, Grof has provided useful maps of the unconscious and experience in nonordinary states,…

Why not rise and reach forth to new and inclusive thought that embraces the facts of existence, instead of a kind of thinking that requires either a psychic numbing to the avalanche of new evidence or a thick and sturdy guard against information from all but thoroughly sanctioned and sanitized, perfectly safe and riskless, or intractably bureaucratized sources? I must point out that by now many scientists, of diverse fields, have abandoned the old model long ago and, at this point, consider its inadequacy to be well-nigh common knowledge. Having been over to the new paradigm a while, they feel it to be familiar territory; they find it useful (after all!), stable, workable, and even pleasurable terrain. They await the rest of us in the adventure of splicing or merging our insights about an explanatory framework that has room for the evidence of the new techniques and sciences; and thereby blowing away the door jammed, opening it wide to the next new phase of discovery of the nature of reality that is called the scientific enterprise.

Thus, both lay and professional folk have participated in a slander of his therapy, giving the inaccurate impression — purposely, for some, no doubt — that his therapy involves merely eliciting screams in his clients. Since some imitators have actually used his ideas to create ludicrous “therapies” of that sort — for example, Daniel Casriel’s “scream therapy” — this charge is particularly damning, insulting.1 In any case, Janov remains the unfortunate kicking-boy of a movement that is itself scapegoated by the academy and the larger scientific community.

David Chamberlain — Hypnosis, Confirmed Validity of Birth Memories

David Chamberlain (1988), for many years the president of APPPAH (the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health), has further substantiated the claim of consciousness at birth and the  accuracy of pre- and perinatal memory in the phenomenon of re- experience. He reported one study he did in which he compared  hypnotically retrieved memories of birth from mother and child and found an astonishing degree of conformity in their responses.

THE TAO OF FUNNY GOD, MATRIARCHY, AND LUNAR THEOLOGIES 

Page 57

Then he finishes with words that say everything, “I forgot ... how BIG!”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you for my life.”

So, this scene is a clue to the lunar theology the movie portrays, but it shows again the rising of awareness of the Divine in all these matriarchal and lunar ways — through observation of Nature (the moon); as a result of experience of life and suffering; arising only when one has surrendered and struggled no more; and occurring when one’s Ego has been stripped down sufficiently by the exigencies of life to be able to let it in (the hero’s emaciated self, the sinking of the luxury yacht). It says that one becomes transformed when one’s Ego has been diminished sufficiently and one can allow the process to have its way totally.

One accepts the “process” as being what is all important. It is not the goal that is crucial, authorities are not needed, one cannot do it for anyone else. It focuses on Divinity as being inherent, which means that one reaches the truth on one’s own, one is healed by surrender not by fee to a professional.

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.

George W. Bush-League Players

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.

In the midst of this all, this trader/expert was asked by the CNBC…

For at this point we border on the truly astounding and mind-blowing. All else may be interesting, is no doubt instrumental, is most of it useful; that is, in a practical psychological or spiritual sense. But here is where we “get real.” That phrase will be seen to never have been so true and profound as it is in its applicability here.

This third book of Dance of the Seven Veils pulls to the side the final Veil on Naked Reality. We see the soulular, the No-Form State, the face of Ultimate Divinity. And ... we find ... our Original Face, which is discovered to be part and parcel of all of that. Knowing this thing, one knows everything.

So this is where we will go in those books. We will, like Salome, do a Dance of the Seven Veils and find out what Naked Reality is more likely to be like.

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.

…problem anymore in the media. 

Environmental nay-sayers are arguing that we “fixed” this problem, as part of their stance that we need not worry about what we are doing to the planet. But that is not true. One report, on CNN, had it that the ozone had been depleted by forty percent in the previous two months alone! The reporter announcing it seemed shaken. It was like watching someone be suddenly made aware that developments were unfolding,  behind the smoke screen of media denial, that was going to have life-and- death pertinency to the lives of herself and her loved ones. Certainly, this  is not the kind of thing normally put on her desk to announce on air.

Sure enough, we were not to hear anything more about it. That, along with so much else we never are told about that is directly looming over us.

Nor need I elaborate on the nuclear threat — whether precipitated by terrorists, rogue nations, or accident. We know, but do not want to, of the possibility of any one or more of these mad actors employing weapons of mass destruction, possibly leading to ever-mounting rounds of retaliation with eventually no one left standing. Relatedly we push out of our minds the threat of other kinds of weapons — such as biological weapons — getting out of control and creating a worldwide epidemic or holocaust.

Then they delivered to generations following mine the machismo cynicism with its connotation that it was better to have that than feeling life. They seeded you with the idea that those who experienced life ... as opposed to those who accepted their prepackaged attitudes of cynicism and mean-spiritedness ... well, we were wusses, saps, effeminate, feminate, and all that.

“So, sorry, that my generation’s threat to the moneyed powers was so scary to them that they reacted with the all-out effort to create a generation that would be the opposite of us, and so you were brainwashed and misinformed and lied to. So, so very sorry. I wish I could say, “my bad,” but well it was “our good” that resulted in “their bad,” and I don’t want to be like them and continue to uphold their matrix of misinformation. So, anyway, sorry.”

He noted a tendency for growth and healing to occur in a progressive way through these levels. The sensory band is the level of expanded sensory awareness and is usually initially encountered by participants. The biographical band is the realm of the personal unconscious wherein unintegrated and traumatic memories and material from childhood and one’s personal history are retrieved, often relived, and integrated. The perinatal level of experience usually follows after dealing with the biographical material and involves the remembering, re-experiencing, and integrating of material that is related to the time prior to and surrounding birth. The transpersonal band, the level of spiritual experience, is usually reached after dealing with the other three levels.

Four Modes of Experiencing — the Basic Perinatal Matrices

Grof has also delineated four matrices of experience, four general experiential constructs, which he called basic perinatal matrices (BPMs). He discovered that experiences at all levels of the unconscious often group themselves in four general ways that are roughly related to the four stages of birth. Thus, Basic Perinatal…

…incorporated the effect is that of inspiring a renaissance of new frontiers of research and theoretical enterprise and thus a surging powerfully forth of the released creative tide. Let me state emphatically, in the face of such dire historical precedents, that there is no inherent insecurity involved in the new paradigm, or inherent danger, or inherent trigger for anxiety, or necessary economic disadvantage (if one has the capacity to change with new developments and thought).3

So why do we not, then, get on with the incorporation of this new, heretofore unexplainable, data and with the creation of new paradigm models (not, of necessity, Grof’s) for making sense of it?

…which remains as a touchstone in the field in its depth and detail. Imprints: The Lifelong Effects of the Birth Experience, published in 1983, among other things places birth as the determining factor in creating basic personality constructs, called sympathetic and parasympathetic, which roughly coincide with the more common terms introversion and extroversion. Janov’s work is more empirical and neurophysiologically rooted than most in the field, and this was especially true of this work.

Nevertheless, while the book is recognized in the field, Janov and his work have not gotten anywhere near the respect and attention they deserve. His therapy involving having deep feeling experiences, primaling, of all kinds — his primal therapy, involving the re-experience of anger, sadness, grief, childhood, early life, birth, and  painful events from all other times in life and involving the re- experience and release of all possible feelings — is reduced to and  ridiculed as “primal scream therapy,” from the provocative title of his first book.


Thus, both lay and professional folk have participated in a slander of his therapy, giving the inaccurate impression — purposely, for some, no doubt — that his therapy involves merely eliciting screams in his clients.

The situation is depicting the sufferings of life, of course. And the response by the hero, Joe, presages the later one in relation to the volcano. That is, one can do nothing about the situation and must submit ... and simply survive. The self-sacrifice and bravery that will be necessary for the larger challenge is exercised here, as well. Joe takes no water for himself, while he pours mere capfuls of what they have, stretching it out to make it last, into the lips of the unconscious Patricia. Joe is already showing his willingness to suffer himself and put his own body on the line in order to ease the suffering of another. That is what heroes do.

The response from the Universe is significant and profound. In the dead of night, the moon rises on the horizon. It is the largest moon imaginable and fills the sky. A beaten and emaciated Joe, after a mighty struggle just to stand, faces the sight in awe with lowered arms in submission. Then he raises his arms in an embrace and acceptance. Finally his legs shaking, he collapses to his knees and crosses his arms before himself in humility.

He says, “Dear God, whose name I do not know. Thank you for my life.”

Culture

The point is that this intensive mother-infant interaction is the foun- dation for the extra sociability required of humans and for culture,  with all its components of language, need for communication, and structure in our social groups.

So, because of secondary altriciality ... that extra time of depend- ency as infants ... which is caused by prematurity, which is  necessitated by the size of our skulls and brains, which size is the  result of the overwhelming birth trauma of humans with its conse- quent need to be repressed in order for humans to function, which  was caused because we began standing up and so altered the arrangement of our pelvic bones, we developed both language as well as the need for human interaction, the sociability, which is the basis for culture as well as human empathy.

Regarding empathy, humans have been fitted to survive in groups where there is extensive communication of needs and desires. While other mammals care about the pain of their offspring and seek to mollify them and are capable of grieving, we are the only species who developed the ability to empathize to such an extent that we are the only ones to have psychotherapists. Oh, and shamans and priests…
