Similarly, the many horror films ending in a burning inferno, which typically brings down the building or house and often, tellingly, sinks below the ground in doing so, are depicting an eruption of perinatal material — horror that is too pervasive to be avoided.

The Ends and the Means

Meanwhile, in Joe Versus the Volcano, the ending is clearer about the properly creative response. In the request to Joe — which he accepts, by the way— to jump into the volcano, which would keep it from erupting and thus save the people of the island, Joe is asked to give up his life to save an entire community, not merely to risk his life to rescue his anima, his feeling self (his feminine, creative, intuitive, playful, loving, humorous, emotional self). He is asked to separate himself and his intentions from any possibility of success. Like the Turkish and Occupy protesters, it is the style, the mode, the means of action, not the ends, which are all important. And any foreseeable gains have to do with what will be accomplished in terms of one’s character and nobility of self, by acting honorably, against all odds…

Book Two, Dance of the Seven Veils I:

Identity/Primal Psychology, Mythology, and Your Real Self ... Adult to Toddler, Veils One-Three.

This second volume in The Path of Ecstasy Series, is the first of three parts on this topic of the Seven Veils. This first part answers the questions, who to be? And, what is the real self? It deals with our stage of adulthood and goes back to that of toddlerhood. It is all about pulling back the Veils of anthropocentrism and species-superiority, which is Veil One; the hidden agendas of societies and especially its elites which get construed as rites of passage and initiation into adulthood for young girls and boys and which thus corrupt their personalities along lines not their own, which is Veil Two; and the layers of parental abuse, misdirection, control and direction, for their ends, not our own, which get impressed upon us in infancy, toddlerhood, and childhood, and which coalesce as the primal scene, which is Veil Three. This last tells each and every one of us that we are not going to be loved unless we be something other than what we are, what we were meant to be, and what we were destined to be — which is our real self.

….normal stresses and unavoidable harshness inherent in birth and early infancy. Yet all of this cannot be completely avoided. “Birth is like death to the newborn,” writes Verny (1984, p. 48).

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. Of note was the degree of inner consistency and originality in these memories as reported by the former neonate. They often contained technical details of the delivery and labor unlike what would be expected of the medically unsophisticated, a perceptive critique of the way the birth was handled, and other details of the event that could not have been known through normal conscious channels.

The actual stimulus for a new field of pre- and perinatal psychology and the Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH) was Thomas Verny’s (1981) The Secret Life of the Unborn Child. His work brought together a good deal of the new empirical research that had opened the doors to us on the events in the womb. While himself a practitioner of “holistic primal therapy,” he integrated the accumulating data from the phenomenon of re-experience with the new information from the more traditional, “objective,” scientific research into the prenatal — made possible by the latest advances in technology.

One of his conclusions from this combination of lines of inquiry was that “birth and prenatal experiences form the foundations of human personality” (1981, p. 118). His other conclusions center around the importance of intrauterine bonding in that his research strongly suggests that the prenate, via pathways hormonal and unknown, picks up on the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes of the mother. More importantly, he asserted, the imprint of these factors on the fetus predetermines the later mother-child relationship. He emphasized that positive thoughts and feelings toward the fetus — ”maternal love” — acts to cushion the new individual against the…

…presentation, delineation, and analysis of the holographic model of a new paradigm. I recommend those pages highly.

On-line at youtube, I recommend a video, titled “Holographic Universe,” which is an excellent overview of the model and makes the clear case that science has most definitely overturned the materialistic paradigm which birthed it hundreds of years ago.

All that being said, I wish to point out that the recent and rapid emergence of the field of transpersonal psychology itself is pushed by an inability to continually disregard the evidence of our own senses that does not fit with the mechanical paradigms we were taught.

This new evidence, which is pouring forth on the cutting edges of our modern sciences, has made the Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm as obsolete as the flat earth one.

…that results in the uniting with anima energy, which is symbolically the saving of the “damsel,” in this case played by Meg Ryan. So earlier on there is a dealing with psychodynamic energy. One must be brave, and of course that part is learning that is fundamental to any style of hero.

In the same way in Nothing but Trouble — another cult classic I will use to make my case — Chevy Chase deals with psychodynamic material and enacts a “dragon slaying” by risking his life to rescue Demi Moore from a giant chopping machine. But, also similarly, this results in the opening up of another level, requiring a completely different — indeed, opposite — response. In Nothing But Trouble, the ending shows the town, after all — not the least affected by the heroic rescue and escape occurring earlier in the movie — sinking into a pervasive and inferno-like underground. The pervasive fire below the earth has much in common with a volcano. In both movies, there is this element of consuming fire that is used to symbolize pain, suffering, and evil that is all-encompassing, comprehensive, and thus unable to be defeated in any normal way, and certainly not by single individuals or small groups of them.

Books Two through Four, Dance of the Seven Veils

It is in this book — divided into three volumes — that I do the grand overview of what that all means for understanding our reality and liberating ourselves from limiting perspectives, unconscious prejudices, and denials of the reality before us which would otherwise be obvious. This book is meant to open your mind to what you are standing upon in your stance in life. It takes you back, layer by layer, like an archaeological dig, to the foundations of your being. Just a hint, you will find Divinity there. You will also sense the path to be free, the way of ecstasy.

The holonomic (combined) model is explanatory and predictive. Yet it does so without having to exclude known, observable, empirically validated facts and evidence — without undeservedly casting upon them the light of nonexistence or, worse still, ignoring them, simply because their validity gives rise to a very human “uncomfortableness.” Such data trigger a certain insecurity  in that they undermine a familiar, habitual, and thoroughly ego- invested commitment to a view of reality.

The purposes of this chapter do not allow an elaboration of either the new evidence or the new paradigm that I have discussed and for that I refer the reader to references being mentioned.

As an example, in Beyond the Brain: Birth, Death and Transcendence in Psychotherapy, Grof (1985) presents in the first chapter — which comprises ninety-one pages — an insightful analysis of paradigms and historical process along with an exhaustive sampling of the new evidence from the array of sciences, sociohistorical trends, and cultural processes that I have been mentioning. In addition, Grof (1985) constructs a thorough…

I want to point out that Joe Versus the Volcano shows Joe, earlier on, going through all the major stages of the normal hero’s cycle — the retreat from mundane reality, the sailing off into a new and exotic realm of existence and adventure. Here we are still aligned with elements of the hero’s journey that Campbell has detailed. It is a typical story of a rite of passage — one that, if all had gone according to the patriarchy, would have had Joe being initiated into a societal role, which would be given by that patriarchy.

These all affect the child in ways at least small, but usually in huge ways. These are aspects of the biocultural veil across perception.

To make clear this interplay of biology and culture, let me use an example. In the most egregious instance of cultural influence on our biologically constituted worldview, modern culture has created test tube babies. These are individuals whose early experiences as cells do not even follow the pattern of experience — of sperm traveling to ovum, and so on — that humans have experienced for all our existence and upon which all of what is considered human and human reality has been built. Someday, someone will have to do a study comparing the basic worldviews and mythologies of test-tube conceived humans to those of the rest of us with the normal human beginnings. I predict there will be astonishing differences.

However, in the most common example of bioculturally constituted realities emanating from our early lives, every culture determines the way birth will be experienced by the neonate. Thus, in what is the most studied of all biocultural influences, birth has an impact on our lives in vastly different ways depending upon whether it is harsh, or gentle; induced, or spontaneous; and in every other conceivable way. Prenatal and perinatal  psychologists from Arthur Janov — with his definitive and ground- breaking book, Imprints (1983) — to Frederick Leboyer (1975), to Thomas  Verny (1981), to David Chamberlain (1988) have detailed the way our birth and that our birth affects us ever after in life ... often in ways that are irreversible and untouchable by any and all later experience and…

…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.

This work is more empirical and neurophysiologically rooted than most in the field. While the book is recognized in the field, Janov and his work have not gotten anywhere near the respect and  attention that they deserve. He remains the unfortunate kicking- boy of a movement that is itself scapegoated by the academy and  the larger scientific community.

The combined model explains the phenomena of everyday life, of “normal” science, as well as a huge and increasingly accumulating body of unexplainable data and evidence that is continually erupting out of the “new” natural sciences (in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, anthropology, and psychology, especially transpersonal psychology); out of the human potential phenomenon and new, experiential psychotherapeutic and growth techniques, such as primal therapy and holotropic breathwork; out of psychedelic, consciousness, and brain (especially brain waves) research; out of a decades-long now Western fascination with and intense engagement with Eastern world-view, philosophy, and spiritual practice; and out of an equally long and parallel interest in the paranormal and the occult.

In Part Three, “Science as Myth,” I begin, first of all, to touch upon the ways these newer awarenesses have been thought of in the past. And surprisingly, with some of the deconstruction done in the first two parts, we find that science has made some gross misassumptions and thrown away some bathwater that has a viable life in it. I help to resuscitate those ideas, and I show how they actually integrate with some of the outermost rings of our findings from science at this time.

Part Four begins the advance down the freeway to the new world, the new paradigm, the one where matter is discovered to be alive. In “The Consciousness of Stones,” I explain how that position is not just plausible, it is the only rational one left, all things considered. I bring forth some of the reasons — some anthropocentric, some simply habits of thought that are correctible — for why this new cosmic overstanding has not been unveiled before, as well as why significant parts of it, which would have revealed the rest, were historically cast aside.

The Biocultural Veil

I also establish, in The Secret Life of Stones, that there are bioculturally constituted realities. These are the realities that emanate from our biological experiences as they are modified by culture. They come in most especially during out time in the womb, when events are shaped strongly both by biology but also by culture. For culture, as experienced by the mother, begins to heavily influence the experiences the fetus will have.

We all experience a time in the womb. What follows from that, which I say in The Secret Life of Stones, is that there are universal aspects of that experience which determine the human world view: Our feelings of freedom vying with those of constriction and oppression, for example, emanate from this time. Nonetheless, our womb experiences also vary by culture. Different cultures have different ideas about what the mother should be doing during pregnancy, how she will interact with her unborn child, and so on. These all affect the child in ways at least small, but usually in huge ways. These are aspects of the biocultural veil across perception.

To make clear this interplay of biology and culture, let me use an example. In the most egregious instance of cultural influence on our biologically constituted worldview, modern culture has created test tube babies.

Perhaps the major theorist and popularizer of the phenomenon of re-experience (which he termed primaling), 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, which remains as a touchstone in the field in its depth and detail. Imprints: The Lifelong Effects of the Birth Experience,…
