PRE/PERINATAL PSYCHOLOGY AND PHENOMENON OF RE-EXPERIENCE Page 21 Later Theorists — Breathwork Stanislav Grof Breathwork, LSD, Birth and Prenatal, Myth and Archetype, Spiritual and Consciousness A pioneer in this prenatal area is Stanislav Grof (1976, 1980, 1985, 1990, to name a few). His many works, providing a framework for conceptualizing perinatal and transpersonal experiences, are a profound and useful starting point for an investigation into this area. In his use of LSD beginning in 1956 for psychotherapy, called psycholytic therapy, he discovered four levels of experience of the unconscious: the sensory, the biographical, the perinatal, and the transpersonal. 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.

APOCALYPSE – NO! Page 27 Victims Du Jour By the way, I might mention that while genuine sexual assault and child sexual abuse is a reality that has long been with us and is only now really coming to light (thankfully), the similarity of this early perinatal experience of ungentle mouth clearing to sexual assault may have something to do with the epidemic of reports of infant sexual abuse that are coming out of counselor’s therapy rooms. Confused interpretations of these reports can happen because most counselors and psychotherapists are ignorant of birth and perinatal trauma and yet more and more of them are allowing bits and pieces of regressive techniques into their standard professional arsenals. In addition, they throw in these techniques, most often, without qualification or experience with these techniques, and oftentimes out of knowledge gained solely from books or second-handedly ... not to mention rarely, because of professional arrogance, having experienced or undergone these regressions themselves.

In fact, she considers the cutting of the umbilical cord to be central in her theory of trauma, calling it the crisis umbilicus, and echoes Fodor in claiming that it is the true origin of the castration fears made so much of in psychoanalysis. This is so because, according to Feher, the cord and placenta is an object of security and is considered by the fetus to be part of him- or herself. Thus, this cutting represents a supreme threat in being a separation from a total life support system, a major organ, a part of oneself. In these ways, she also brings forward for renewed appreciation Rank’s speculations on the element of separation trauma as a crucial element of the birth trauma. Arthur Janov — Primal Therapy, Traumas of Birth and Early Life and Healing Them, Empirical Foundations and Neurophysiology of Early Events and Healing Perhaps the major theorist and popularizer of the phenomenon of re- experience (which he termed primaling), Arthur Janov was reluctant to acknowledge the pervasiveness of pre- and perinatal re-experience and trauma. Yet when he did, it was in a major work on birth trauma, "The cutting of the umbilical cord was said to be the true origin of castration fears."

Y’know ... if it offends the way you know the supernatural to work.... Hell, I don’t know how the supernatural works. I just know that weird things happen, all the time. And I’d prefer to give you the facts and let you judge for yourself than to make it sound like something you’ve heard before so that you might believe me. Handling the Truth Is Your Job Nope. One thing I’ve learned, especially from these nonhuman Earth Citizens, is that it’s not my job to make you like your Truth. That’s your responsibility.

What actually is Naked Reality? Who were you before you were you as you think you are? What is your “original face”? Well that is what we look at in the next book. Book Four, Dance of the Seven Veils III: Transpersonal/Peri-Conceptional Psychology, Mythology, and Your Origi- nal Face ... Cellular to Soulular, Veil Seven and Beyond. In the third book of Dance of the Seven Veils, which is Volume 4 in The Path of Ecstasy Series, I take on the most profound of all human questions, which has to do with what is really really real. What is Reality? That is a question that lies deep at our roots, and deep in our souls. It is no coincidence its discovery might arise through a consideration of those deepest parts of our selves. Indeed, having removed six overlying Veils upon Reality — Veils which were projected out onto our screens of perception and understanding as a result of prior experience, especially traumatic and deeply affecting ones — this is our best chance to remove the last Veil. That is exactly the purpose of all the preceding pages in these…. PREFACE. A DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS Page xxvii

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 12 …because of its toxicity ... it is still deadly for five-hundred-thousand years. Other ingredients in our nuclear effluvia have half-lives of millions of years. Do people ever stop to think of what a thousand years is? Remember, a thousand years ago, Europe was in feudalism still; the Black Death had not yet occurred even. Imagine twenty-five times that amount of time that somehow the governments of the world will cooperate to guard the massive amounts of nuclear waste we have created and are continuing to create. Surely you see how ludicrous that is. Now imagine five hundred times that amount of time that humans will still have to sidestep this waste or die. Yet we continue to excrete massive amounts of it into our globe and even after the Fukushima meltdowns to push for building more plants. We have watched baby dolphins by the hundreds washing up on Gulf and European coasts and the creation of hundreds of dead zones — some as large as a hundred miles across — in our seas. British Petroleum (BP), the perpetrator of the Gulf Oil spill, engaged in further criminal activity afterward by using toxic chemicals to disperse the oil rather than to collect it. The dispersants themselves are toxic.

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 47 Enter the Ego In any case, this story of our last four weeks before our grand entrance into the world, our societies, and our families, is one of increasing pain at our origins. Something had to happen. All of that feverish repression of pain must have had some consequences for us experientially. Indeed, it did. What we next look into is the creation and construction of that psychic component unique to humans — the Ego.

For it was never ‘mere’ and it was never only prankish to the people whose lives were shunted into a stifling, suffering, and brutishly short existence, who cried horribly as loved ones died, were raped to death at times, and suffered so many things that you have no conception of.

Denial and Incest Taboo Mott (1960) also helped us to understand why if these prenatal memories are possible they are not more prevalent by suggesting denial is necessary in order to protect against incestuous feelings that might arise around feelings remembered from being inside one’s mother. Devolutional Model of Consciousness Development Finally, he made the postulation — hugely relevant to the theme of this work — that our original expanded capacity to feel is diminished, as he says, “divided,” by experience not increased by it. The idea is that there is a reduction in awareness as a result of early traumatic events, beginning around conception and then on, and not the buildup of consciousness and feeling that we assume from the mechanistic paradigm that sees consciousness as a byproduct of increasing physical, specifically brain, activity during our early years.1 FALLS FROM GRACE Page 20

46. HEAVEN Page 15 …endless possibilities. This is significant, for later experience will have the majority of people feeling fearful of new beginnings. We will see that in the way they are traumatized at birth, so not wanting to achieve again; and in the way after the period of blissful expanse in the womb, in the later stages, it becomes claustrophobic and hellacious, leaving an imprint that growth is dangerous. These are just examples; there are other experiences leading one astray as well. Whereas if one is lucky or has cleared away enough of the residual primal pain and trauma from one’s beginnings, one can stand upon a more blissful and euphoric foundation. These are aspects of what I call the “joy grids,” which underlie one’s Pain and create our deeper human nature. In this case, one experiences new beginnings as ecstatic. There is a reason that I have labeled this entire series of books, which has been stimulated by the discovery of these underlying joy grids, The Path of Ecstasy Series. In any case, this example of ecstatic experience at the time of descent through the fallopian tube I can personally liken to my experience of leaving “the nest” and going off to college — which began as one of the happiest and most magical times of my life. We see examples of this feelings constellation — that is, BPM I — coming out in films, as well. The movie, Avatar, is set on another planet, whose environment is a near-perfect depiction of a BPM I state.

These feelings, while they may be reinforced by later life events, oftentimes have roots that go back to a time immediately after birth. At this time, too frequently, the jaw is pulled down for the insertion of fingers and suction devices. It is done in a manner that is excruciatingly painful for a being that has spent his or her entire life — nine months — previous to that in a relatively placid environment with its mouth closed. This ungentle procedure is also felt as an assault in that it occurs, usually, as the first event a baby is confronted with upon release from the womb. Its tiny mouth — never before fully opened — is often the first focus of attention, as large fingers (relatively) reach in, stretching the previously unopened and unstretched (virgin) mouth ... breaking the metaphorical oral hymen of the neonate in a way that is felt to the infant to be comparable in pattern and violation to oral sexual assault.

THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 19 …to choose an authentic way of being or an identity in line with its soulular patterns and duties, its atmadharma. Repression of Individuality The extent to which overlords wished to drive all individuality and feeling out of their underlings is exemplified in a sight we see everywhere in all patriarchal societies, and pretty much only in patriarchal cultures. That sight is of the soldier, guard, attendant standing at attention and unmoving, often near at hand to the Controller — the king, royalty, military or political personage, or tyrant. What better way to indicate that person in attendance is not a person or alive but is only a tool to be used at the overlord’s whim. Notice how no amount of movement is allowed. For any such action arising out of the volition of the underling would indicate an individuality, separate from the Controllers, that was wanted to be beaten out and removed from the personality of the soldier or guard. The message is clear: “Your life is not your own. It is mine. Don’t even think of having an idea of your own, let alone an independent action. No. Your body is mine to direct and manipulate. Keep it in the corner, quiet and unmoving, until I tell you what to do with it.” The thinking here is no different from that of storing one’s guns in a locker, keeping one’s car in the driveway.

PREFACE. A DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS Page xxvii …substratum which gets ever and over again reflected in our basic beliefs, which we conceptualize and narrate in our mythologies. In terms of the sequence being laid out in Dance of the Seven Veils, the time of birth itself — including the postnatal period, with its graces or horror ... depending — is what I term Veil Four. The time of prenatal malnutrition and our experience of third trimester hell, with its four aspects, the PMEs, comes under the heading of Veil Five. Lastly, the time of, optimally, early blissful womb experience, connection with Divinity, and experience of harmony and buoyant optimism, confidence, and delight is what I call Veil Six. All of these, whatever their experiential qualities — pleasureful or painful — are Veils. They are films across our comprehension because they are imprints about what Reality is that arises of our unique human experience — either individually or collectively. Thus, being a conse- quence of early, quite variable, quite unique (in comparison to other species) events, they cannot truly be considered accurate about what exists outside the parameters they most definitely inscribe. They comprise hard and fast prejudices about what is True and Real. So, what is Real, then? What is Reality prior to the events which skewed our understandings of What Is so that It is a particular thing, not any other things. What actually is Naked Reality?

For this book makes it more likely you will not make such mistakes. Which is another way of saying that those reading this are more likely to be in lives where they are here to learn the benefits of authenticity of identity, success in one’s life mission not failure. Let’s put it this way: This book will make it harder to screw up in your decisions in life of who to be. Resources and Helpful Things This book addresses the question, “Who to be?” Meaning, “What should I do with my life?” “How do I decide?” “What are the most important and satisfying goals in life?” “How do I live a life that I will not regret at the end of it?” “How do I live wisely and happily in these most unusual of all times?” “What factors should guide me in choosing a fulfilling path in life?” “Why have humans since civilization been so unhappy and unfulfilled in life, as Freud said, humans live lives ‘of quiet desperation?” “What is our most fundamental and unshakeable self, the one upon which we can build a life that is strong, purposive, loving, and satisfying?” “What needs to change for us to have the lives of aliveness, belonging, purpose, satisfaction, and fulfillment that humans lost once we began living in settled groups, where hierarchies meant all lower on the totem pole would need to constrain their felicity to benefit those higher up?”

MICHAEL ADZEMA Page 26 Treated Like a “Piece of Meat” This practice of ungentle mouth clearing — performed by hurried or insensitive, and uninformed, medical personnel, unaware of the consciousness and keen feeling awareness of the neonate — can leave one with lifelong feelings of being treated like a “thing.” Many report having overwhelming feelings of being dealt with mechanically and without respect. It is common for folks to have feelings of “not being seen.” People can have lifelong body memories of having one’s mouth stretched wide. These feelings, while they may be reinforced by later life events, oftentimes have roots that go back to a time immediately after birth. At this time, too frequently, the jaw is pulled down for the insertion of fingers and suction devices.

Still, professionals and theorists who sanction the practices and beliefs of an era or paradigm will always be lifted up for acclaim. That is, they are until the next paradigm becomes dominant, at which point they are seen as conciliatory, even as apologists for the matrix/paradigm in effect at the time. Truly, the radical formulations to be advanced by Janov, Grof, deMause, and myself later, among many who could be named from the 1970s on, were not to be had in 1958. Later Research and Theorists: Hypnosis, Primal Therapy, and Birth Cheek and LeCron — Hypnosis, Birth Memories and Imprints on Personality, and Relation to Psychiatric Disorders David Cheek and Leslie LeCron (1968) used hypnosis to retrieve early memories in their patients.
