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.

I. BEING SHIVA — DESTROYING AND CREATING WORLDS

Page 18

Science’s reluctant qualification of indeterminacy is quite a bit different from an acknowledgment of what I am putting forth: Which is that there might be a more valid understanding, or perception, by some conceivable other being or species, in which those elements of the universe we consider to be absolute can be seen to be non-existent or radically wrong. And beyond that ... the most important part of this ... that in comparison to whom, our interpretations of things are not seen merely to be to be biased as a result of our species identity, but that the very existence of these supposedly absolute things of our world are found to be projections, in their entirety and thus completely insubstantial, of our human psyche ... to be mere projections of our uniquely human perspective on things ... creations purely concocted of the elements of our unique distinction from Nature. That is a distinction, which I will not elaborate upon now, but which has us as supremely flawed in relation to the rest of Nature. This is something I have demonstrated in several of my works, in particular, Planetmates (2014b) and Prodigal Human (2016a).

Furthermore, consider that physicists talk about the possibility of other dimensions intersecting our world. So these alternate realities share the same time and space ... or they share whatever Ultimate Reality we exist in ... with us.

These elements are near universally accepted among perinatal psychologists as unconscious forces, factors, matrices that exist in us all as a result of a human birth that is unique, by comparison to all other species, in its degree of trauma and hence of its impact or imprint on what we might call our “human nature.” 

Since there is a good chance you are probably hearing about this research only now, keep in mind that entire new fields of prenatal and  perinatal psychology, primal psychology, and to some extent, transper- sonal psychology and psychohistory have grown up around the existence  of these perinatal factors. Entire modalities of healing tap in to and are based on the existence of this perinatal unconscious, including primal therapy, holotropic breathwork, and rebirthing, naming just the few that I employed in my psychotherapeutic practice. These unconscious perinatal elements have by now been confirmed by thousands of researchers and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of experiential voyagers into the perinatal unconscious.

So let us look at some of the elements characterizing this perinatal unconscious. As the first person in the United States to teach pre- and perinatal psychology at the university level, which I did in the early Nineties; as an editor of a professional journal concerned with perinatal…

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.

Caldicott, who is a physician as well as a world-renowned nuclear and environmental activist and an author on the subject who has been active on the issue for forty years now, says Fukushima will have medical implications like Chernobyl, which contaminated forty percent of Europe. And which has directly resulted in the deaths of over one million people, according to the New York Academy of Scientists. Similarly, Caldicott says, Fukushima will induce an epidemic of cancer. 

Now, Fukushima is in addition to the four hundred and forty-four nuclear power plants still operating in the world. Note also that at this time there are sixty-three more under construction and they operate in thirty countries.

I mentioned how the activism we undertook in Springfield and Eugene, Oregon, in 1983 virtually ended nuclear power plant construction in the United States after that. Because of the lawsuit we brought, which created the bond default in Springfield, which spread throughout all the other communities in the Northwest United States, investors have shied away from considering nuclear energy for economic reasons.

I cry, fart, burp, laugh uproariously sometimes, actually, rolling on the floor. I see, hear, and notice people and think they are just  fascinating. I can’t imagine life back in the world of the machine- minded, bragging how they can multi-task, so they can fuck up  more things at the same time. But never can such automatons focus on one thing at a time and completely take it in, in all its complexities.

But this isn’t about the ones who will never hear me. It is about those who are just as much flesh and blood as I. You are the ones who will understand that I do this because, I just, well, really love.

I’ve got a young goddaughter; she reminds me what being straight and honest is. She also reminds me what love is, and how tender is the simple appreciation of one being for another. In my mind, my goddaughter is beautiful inside and out and talented and sensitive. She is God’s work of art. I don’t think there is a parent alive who doesn’t know those kinds of feelings.

So, I don’t know about other people, but with her in mind, among many others that I love, I find it hard to simply ignore the things that the scientists are saying are happening on this planet.

Donald W. Winnicott

First Primal Therapist? Birth Relivings, Importance of Birth — Negative Imprints but Positive Effects, Too

Another psychoanalyst, and pediatrician as well, Winnicott (1958) also held that birth is remembered and is important. He insisted that the birth trauma is real, but he disagreed with Rank and Fodor that it is always traumatic. He suggested that a normal, nontraumatic, birth has many positive benefits, particularly for ego development. Still, he contended that traumatic birth is permanently etched in memory and leaves a lifetime psychological scar. Winnicott (1958) also suggested the possibility of prenatal trauma.

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

Boob Tube With a View

Speaking of television, there was that very interesting and much heralded episode of the Moonlighting series in the late Eighties which — coincidentally employing an article and book title of mine, “A Womb With a View” — showed Bruce Willis in a womb-like enclosure as a fetus viewing, with the help of a higher spiritual ally, the upcoming events of his life. This plot idea was also an amazing, perhaps synchronistic, mirror image of a short story I wrote in 1979 titled “Birthing, Forgetting.”2

A Hundred Monkeys and Counting

I point out the personal synchronicities because they speak of a “morphic resonance” phenomenon indicating ideas whose time has come. Be that as it may, the episode of Moonlighting is further proof of the growing belief in womb consciousness and interest in perinatal events.

The perspective and the findings of this book, are, I believe, the missing element and the key to understanding the ills of the world and the human condition and to finally doing something about it.

But as in all things, I, like the rest of my generation, stand upon the shoulders of the greats who have come before and the research already done.

So that is where we need to start. Next, in Chapter 5, focusing specifically on birth, I begin the review for you of what has so far been conceived in relation to our life and our worldview in the arena of prenatal and perinatal psychology.

Let us begin.

…campaigns (slaying dragons) pales in importance in the face of the reality of an all-pervasive environmental collapse, worldwide nuclear radiation, and extinction of species at a rate that will lose half of all within our lifetimes ... with a good chance that humans will be part of that or follow soon after (the volcano).

In such situations, the battlefield inside oneself must be walked away from. It does little good if one makes good therapeutic progress in self-esteem when the fate of all life is in the balance. What does it matter if one is fearful or anxious ... why put effort into changing it ... when we are in a situation and in a society where that is warranted ... and even saner than being unmoved and complacent about it? Similarly, while confronting the evils of the world one must make an inner surrender of the competition on that worldly level in hopes of raising the entire conflict to another dimension on the inner plane.

Risking It All in Running Away

The novel, Jitterbug Perfume, by Tom Robbins, contains an excellent exploration and understanding of this new approach — the necessity, first and foremost, that one not be part of the evil, in a situation where wrongness blankets everything.

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. 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…

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.

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…

Wherever you look, the refusal to acknowledge consciousness or feeling awareness to an entity or thing allows unrestrained brutality and exploitation there.

Hence, just as the civil rights of minorities, indigenous peoples, women, and children have been only gradually and reluctantly acknowledged over the centuries, so also the awareness and consciousness of the nonhuman world is not the place we start when thinking of it, however much that was the case for our original humans. Remember, for primal humans, the world is alive; consciousness and nobility is awarded planetmates; Nature itself, animate and inanimate, is intentional and aware. This is the way we humans saw the world around us for virtually ninety-five to ninety-nine percent of our history as a species.

With civilization, however, and the burgeoning of an overweening ego and a controlling addiction, all of that changed drastically ... and conveniently. For the domestication of plants and animals that began…

What to believe — as linked to religion, God, spirituality, mythology, good and evil, and much else — are rooted in the patterns of experiences we universally experience over the course of our lives, leading up to adulthood. Importantly, in this book, we look at the self-sabotaging we all do, at why we cannot seem to change those patterns, and, finally, what will allow us to finally be the person we know we can be but which somehow always eludes us.

Further, I show how peeling back the layers of that onion is ever more liberating, at every step. And where it ultimately leads ... what is ultimately true ... what is the center of the onion? We get much closer to that in this book, which takes us right up to the rim of cellular consciousness and the No-Form State. Those in particular are addressed  in the book following this, Dance of the Seven Veils III: Peri- Conceptional/Transpersonal Psychology, Mythology, and Your Original Face ...  Cellular to Soulular, Veil Seven and Beyond.

The image that emerges through these works is your original face. And your original face is all these things — Divine, true, realer than real, more positive and loving than you ever thought you could be, and more wonderful and exciting than you can imagine. In the same vein as William Blake, I am saying that, when the Veils across perception are pulled to the side, everything appears as it is ... infinite.

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.

Insanity

In addressing such an ecopsychology which sees humans within Nature, we see that normality and sanity, as viewed from within the domains of psychology as given to us down through the ages, are instead quite insane. From a context of what would be sane for humans, in contrast to it, we evaluate where we are psychologically as humans, how we got to where we are, what it is about us that is wrong, what it has led to inevitably and why, and what insights it brings us about what now to do. How do we become sane in an insane human world — a world that is at war with its own home, that is burning down its own house, even as it barricades itself on the couch, watching television and eating chips from plastic bags that will not decompose, and so simply adding more fuel to the inferno already raging all around.

…sides of that. The Fifties Generation — termed Silent Generation by Strauss and Howe (1991) — is reserved for those born 1925 through 1942. Presley was born in 1935, smack in the middle. His music and his style were individualistic in the extreme. He would set off a rock and roll revolution, of sorts. Yet he was conforming as well; he allowed himself to be drafted into the Army. This is in contrast to Muhammad Ali who refused to be inducted. It is not coincidence Muhammad Ali was born 1942 and therefore, while a Fifties Generation member technically, he was on the Fifties Gen/ Sixties Gen cusp.

Revolutionary numbers for the Fifties Generation were not large, relatively, yet in being the initiators of many of the evolutionary ideas that would come into fruition in the Sixties, these Fifties Generation members were extremely important. Meanwhile, the conforming side of the Fifties Generation would continue their alliance with outmoded and dangerous ideas as brought to them from their culture and their WWII Generation elders. The one side of the Fifties Generation would listen to the beatnik poetry and socially conscious folk songs of that era of the Fifties. The other side would be conforming “Mad men” (Madison Avenue men), corporate cogs.
