2. DESTROYING WORLDS Page 19 …those stars, or suns — and infinite numbers of dimensions is still only the cosmos that we — we lowly, humble, and limited perceptually humans — are able to perceive. So how can it not be true that there even more possibilities for ways of perceiving Reality, more possibilities of realities, than even the infinite numbers of them we are able to deduce with our limited senses at this particular time with its limited knowledge as well!!?? And, yes, I realize that some of you readers are jumping ahead and even questioning the reality of entities, beings, perceptions, perceptors, perceivers, percepters, senses, and all else, which I have been leaning on in making my case, and would like to challenge me on that.5 For you will say that they — any being, beings, or entities — also are deduced from what we know from our limited apprehension of the world. So they, too, might be no more than human projections. Thinking this way, you might say that my theory is empty or insubstantial for it, also, is deduced from our perception of realities, which I am acknowledging to be unspecial and infinitely variable. You might say that even our perception of different and separate perceivers — what I am terming, perceptors — is questionable. How do we know any entities or beings exist, outside of our own one — oneself — if all that we perceive is determined by what we expect and project? Are there even numbers of things — as when D’Andrade asserted numbers were “brute” — let alone beings?

FUNNY GOD Page 50 …confused about morality and mores and directionless ... unhappy. Whereas, I contend it is good thing. This accessibility of cultural ideas, other than those that one was born into, has profound implications for a postmodern multicultural world — one whose mixing of cultural ideas is increased exponentially through the catalyst of the internet. I believe those implications are hopeful and wonderful and that they set the stage for a better way and an alternative path for a humanity currently heading for an abyss. Indeed, in Robbins’s novel, the ruler, Alobar, does something revolutionary: He runs away; effectively saying “to hell with this bullshit!” This can be seen as parallel to the draft “dodgers” during the Vietnam War in America. They were roundly criticized for being cowardly; and certainly there was self-interest involved in what they did. 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,…
Therefore, we may speculate that a combination of these factors resulted in a compensatory system wherein the fact of increasing brain size is eventually resolved, to date, by a comparatively reduced gestation period accompanied by increased need for child care after birth; increased need for economic dependency overall (both during and after gestation) by the female; increased need for male parental investment in providing for both female and child; and increased birth pain correlating with increased cultural development to offset or mitigate the effects of birth pain. The net effect is a species with prolonged child care; increased tendency toward single-family units; increased brain size; greater cultural elaboration; increased birth pain for the neonate; increased “intelligence”; and increased neurotic and psychotic behavior (thus idiosyncratic and variable behavior) which requires further cultural accommodation, hence cultural elaboration — all evolving simultaneously, interrelating and mutually reinforcing each other. All in all, with these considerations, we have the basic factors which outline our distinctive human nature — that is, which constitute, for good or ill, our fundamental distinctions from other species.3 THE SECOND DESCENT — BIRTH TRAUMA Page 17

Unconditional Regard and the Primal Process As for how one accessed these deeper levels of the primal process, I discovered that a radical unconditional acceptance ... an unconditional regard bordering upon, if not actually, love ... beyond even that advanced by Janov, was crucial in facilitating them. And I proposed to other therapists that this be employed.6 Certainly, Janov employed a radical “client-centered” therapy, using the words of Carl Rogers. Primal states simply cannot be accessed without a radical acceptance by the therapist of all possible feelings and feelings-states that can arise in the client. The facilitator had to be more than just “okay” with the emergence of this widely varied material. That acceptance had to be authentically embodied in the facilitator. Still, Janov retained a small bit of an authoritarian model in that his version of therapy used “busts” — interpretations inserted by the therapist that are meant to stimulate the therapeutic process and possibly precipitate breakthroughs. Often useful, they come with a caveat: For the therapist must always be correct in such interpretations. Wrong input into the therapeutic process can do significant damage to the… PROLOGUE: PRIMAL PSYCHOLOGY, FARTHER REACHES OF EXPERIENCE Page 36

The reality outside of that, which we think of as matter and as unconscious and unalive, is merely the aspect of our own reality from which we are temporarily cut off. It is our own consciousness; however it is the part of which we are unconscious. Or as I often point out, it is the part we have forgotten1 — perhaps even intentionally, as a choice made by our inherent Divinity. Which choice also we then forget.2 That unknown aliveness is a secret life in the Universe of matter: In essence there is a secret life of “stones.” Yes, the Universe is alive. And, yes, you are the Universe, you are that aliveness, but you have decided to become less so. I show, in that work, The Secret Life of Stones, how knowing this changes everything. It is the tipping point revealing a new world — one in which each of us is immersed at every moment, like a fish in water, in aliveness, consciousness, experiential units ... and all of it friendly, compassionate, reaching out to us and helping us ... even in spite of us. The Secret Life of Stones presents a logical philosophical journey that wanders and explores the terrain leading up to and supporting such overstandings. Then, it hovers above those astonishing revelations and… PREFACE. A DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS Page xxi
All this is a product of an upsurge of technological innovation in the areas of communication and travel — specifically, telecommunications, electronic media, social media, and modern travel allowing much more contact between individuals of different cultures — which have revolutionized our way of life and made possible a new paradigm of participation in our societies and of personal identity and style. This new paradigm of personality construction within an overarching and worldwide culture — becoming virtually identical everywhere and with an increasing consolidation of language — has been termed postmodern. For it partakes of all the influences and possibilities of all cultures — both modern and traditional. It creates a multicultural mishmash of endless possibilities for being and doing, never been possible before. This is invigorating. It can also be overwhelming. Crisis Along with this we have another entirely new development of post- modern times: a monolithic worldwide culture. It is hard to view the world and its people and not notice that the great majority of the nearly eight billion people on our planet currently have some major things in common.
