“WE AIN’T BORN TYPICAL” Page 49 “The Next Frontier in Evolution and About the Author,” this amazing mistake is explained and I put forward several explanations — one psychological and one evolutional — for the persistence of this obvious faux pas in science. Otto Rank — Psychoanalysis, Birth Trauma, Foundations of Personality and Some Myth, Separation Anxiety Other early psychoanalysts disagreed with Freud on this. Otto Rank is the most notable of these. Following Freud’s basic psychoanalytic reasoning for personality patterns in early infancy, he asserted basic patterns of experience and ideas that are rooted in even earlier experience. Rank (1929) claimed the deepest, most fundamental patterns of these personality constructs originated at the time of birth, which Freud thought was not possible.

Yet how cowardly, on the other hand, was it to conform to the draft and do what one was told in helping to precipitate the war and contribute to the slaughter of millions and the ecocide of huge swaths of land? When the engines of society are rolling over human lives, is it more cowardly to refuse to be a part of it, often suffering severe consequences of jail time, approbation, and worse? Is it more cowardly to lay one’s body on the gears of the infernal machine, as Mario Savio saw it?2 Or is it actually more cowardly to refuse to stand up for life, become an obedient soldier, and go along with the patriarchy, receiving all kinds of applause and reward for obeying it in the process and for the rest of one’s life? At any rate, Tom Robbins, in his novel, opens the door to a new way of understanding heroism and cowardice — one which, as well, is most relevant to our current multicultural times. He shows that a true heroic approach is one that dares to do what no one has ever done: change the prevailing pattern, buck tradition, create a new cultural form — one more in line with reason, life, peace, love, and freedom from unnecessary suffering and brutality. In that, he may have been inspired by the Yippies and Abbie Hoffman during the Vietnam War. Robbins shows the “left hand” of the Tao of Funny God, if you will. That is, that it is certainly transcendent and powerful to confront evil and to not be caught up in it and to exemplify a loving, creative, and peaceful response. But in the case of a war, when it comes to an evil (such as societal pressure to become a soldier and to kill) that cannot be… FUNNY GOD Page 50
PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 18 Next, “External Gestation” and the Origins of Culture Nevertheless, the critical change in all that is our most unusual premature births. And this is what we look at next ... the earlier births required of human babies. And coincident to that, I address secondary altriciality, which has to do with the extra time needed for growth outside the womb and in the company of family and society. Gestations were cut short. “External gestation” — which is what some scholars have called this period of brain maturation occurring outside the womb and in the company of society — was prolonged Next stop, though, the earlier births of humans — our prematurity.
PLANETMATES: THE GREAT REVEAL Page xviii …who killed in bloody, ghastly ways, too. Apparently when white man murdered with guns and more sophisticated weaponry it was alright, because it was done in less bloody ways? Further, they never made note of the fact that indigenous people, when they went to war, did very little killing and quite a bit of their “savagery” was merely display. So white man wiped out these “savages” and committed genocide on entire societies/cultures of them. And the indigenous peoples ... they were the savages?! I think we currently have a similar attitude about our planetmates as White Man has had about indigenous peoples historically. We are the savages seeing “savagery” in other people ... and in Nature. We are seeing what is going on in Nature through filters biased in our favor, much like being ethnocentric in judging other cultures and “races.” And with a closer look and putting judgment to the side we come up with an entirely different understanding — one that aids the cross-species understanding between humans and planetmates that is now, and none too soon, dawning on us.

THE SECRET LIFE OF STONES Page xviii …your stance — for such a stance in life — then you could easily go directly to the second half of the book, “Matter Is Message.” It is a long book, and I can understand some might want to do that, if only to cut down on their reading. I need mention this because I want all readers to know of the second part of the book and not to miss it. I consider it the most profound, inspirational, and relevant part for these times and the people living in it. Still, I have constructed the book to be read front to back. It follows a logical order, creating a rational, thoroughgoing, and comprehensive vision, which the latter parts are that much sweeter by. I think you will miss out a little at least by skipping over the earlier chapters. Whichever of these ways you read it, or some other way — perhaps you are one to have your dessert first and then get your meat and potatoes later, maybe to have dessert then again — my wish for you is that you receive the blessing of reading it with the same joy, and fun, in which I wrote it. I hope the reverence and gratitude I felt as it came through me is sensed by you as well.
DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS II Page xxii …glories in the implications of them for understanding our Reality, our non- separation from each other, our Identity as Self and Divinity, and for guidance for our lives. In so doing, we peer through a portal wherein we are again one with the Universe. We find ourselves on the edge of a coming together as grand as that which we experienced at conception. We receive the gift of a heritage we long ago and mistakenly repudiated — a worldview in which we are seen as belonging, at home, and once again noble within the world we inhabit. The Biological Veil In Book One, as well, I establish there are biologically constituted realities. These are one of the screens of distortion across our perception of clear Reality. That is to say that reality, for humans, is constructed for us out of our unique biological set from an infinity of everything possible that could be or is in the Universe — something that Aldous Huxley (1954) called, Mind at Large. I point out that everything that we experience in life, beginning even before conception, before the coming together of sperm and ovum that created us, are learning experiences and are formative. They create imprints that skew all experiences coming afterward; they set templates within which everything that comes after is configured.
PREFACE Page xiv Everywhere you will see the same kinds of clothes, of a most definite Western style — from Indiana to Indonesia, from Kenya to Columbus, Ohio, we see much the same. Particularly this is true in the more populated areas, which means the majority of humans are included in this phenomenon. Shorts, pants, sandals, shoes, socks, suits, dresses are pervasive. Indeed, actual clothes items emanating from the Western wealthy societies are passed down to others around the world. It is not uncommon to see a t-shirt touting the Chicago Bulls on an adolescent in Rwanda, for example. Clothes styles, but also everything else — most notably American and Western media and entertainment — inform and impress themselves upon all the world. This phenomenon would be unimaginable in all earlier societies. Indeed, most earlier societies would not even know of the expanse and multitude of cultures and societies that existed in their time. It is amazing to me that, among all the factors of modern-postmodern civilization that are discussed and are dug into so as to find solutions for and understandings of our current dilemmas, hardly is this factor of a strange coexistence of pervasive multiculturalism set within an overarching monolithic worldwide culture ever noticed or discussed. Yet this cultural framework is not only a novel development in our multi- millions years of human evolution but is a powerful one.
