THE TAO OF FUNNY GOD, MATRIARCHY, AND LUNAR THEOLOGIES Page 49 …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… PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 16
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… 3.
