PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 30 …development of greatest import, with the greater impact on the ones that follow, before the ones that are a consequence of the one before or they are of lower importance in their effect on our “descents.” Prenatal Suffocation and Starvation ... Fetal Malnutrition Fetal malnutrition is one such development that happened concurrently with birth trauma and prematurity, with its resulting secondary altriciality. Andre Briend (1979) brought this to our attention relatively recently as our evolutionary science goes.1 What it basically means is that during the last month of gestation the growth of the prenate, as measured by its weight, slows down, levels off.

4. THE PRIMAL MATRIX OF MIND Page 49 …reality which I have had. It is not just a mere concept connecting other concepts in my mind. That goes for my experience of an emotion or other biological experience, but it can be expanded to mean the experience of the physical world that we share. So when you point to a chicken’s egg and say huevos, I can understand you because I have, in my experience of the world, also the experience of eggs. When you say rojo and you indicate an item that is the color red, I also share an understanding with you. The same kind of understandings about common biological experiences occur across cultures as well. Having experienced birth, child-“rearing,” pain, death and loss of loved ones, joy of achievement, pleasure of sexuality, friendship, separation and love, and so on, I have a common ground with another human ... with any other human. For we have all, more or less, experienced these things. It is on the basis of experience, held in common by all humans, that I build my theories. Those are the closest to any brute facts which might exist in our human reality. They are biologically constituted realities for humans, mixing with culture to create our bioculturally constituted facts.

PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 52 …-site construct we prop up with all kinds of twisted, bizarre “truths” to explain ourselves to ourselves. Furthermore, this schizoid tendency in humans sets up a funda- mental insecurity regarding Reality and Nature — a feeling of inferiority and insecurity and uncertainness about oneself and one’s nature. However, such feelings require a compensatory mechanism. That compensatory mechanism is Ego — quite different from the self of other beings in Nature. For Ego is comprised of the compensatory mechanisms of denial, inflation of self, and superiority vis–à–vis Nature, the All That Is, and Nature-God Itself.2 Ego Tells Us We are Superior to Nature Part of this repression and compensation means that impairments that we have because of our unique birth and insufficient satisfaction of early needs, such as language, will be touted as proof of our superiority over Nature. We have no inkling that the superiority belief is a result of our prematurity and its consequences of uncomfortable feelings of insecurity and inferiority.

PLANETMATES: THE GREAT REVEAL Page 30 …my part to say to you what I know, then if your kind does indeed do what it appears you’re going to do, there will never be a time again in which to speak. “But ever since certain people began thinking they were privileged, better, and closer to goodness simply because of, say, being luckier, they have been sucking the very life blood out of the masses and keeping the poor downtrodden, ignorant, beholden to them whether rightfully or not, unhappy, and enslaved. And, being a mere beast myself and seeing your kind forever expecting more as a matter of right is wrong enough, but I too keenly see also how forever unaware you are that suffering — whether by beast or the unnamed masses — is as real, as sharp, often much sharper, than that of the rich. So I’m not lifting my head and braying your praises anymore, no matter what you do. “You see, your paid for support and theories are not only irrational and self-serving, they are not only harmful, and therefore not funny, and they not only spread waves of pain out from your high-handed actions. Your easy cruelty is not only unkind or unfair, you see, but it is murderous.”

I. INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD, THE SPLIT ... THE PRIMAL SCENE Page 26 …that, one needs to have had an experience where such a selling of Self, or soul, was imposed upon one ... was “an offer one cannot refuse,” so to speak. This experience is what happens around the ages of four and five in a specific way, and it is stretched out more generally over the period three to six years old. The primal scene — that definitive event that encapsulates the process in one distinct and memorable scene — occurs around four or five years old. This event creates what Arthur Janov (1970) — psychologist and inventor of primal therapy — termed the split. The split is the final creation of a self — termed by Janov the unreal self — that is inauthentic and in keeping with parents’ wishes; and another one that is hidden, repressed, yet authentic, which Janov termed the real self. However, the Oedipal and Electra crises, which are the larger categories of this process — regardless how outdated and misunderstood those concepts are — occurs over the period three to six. Nonetheless, the basis even of these goes further back. It all begins in infancy, even as a neonate, where one, upon coming out of the womb, discovers one’s needs are not going to be adequately attended to. They will not be very well noticed. You will not be all that important to “them.”

“We feel ourselves to be a victim to our surroundings and begin doing the opposite of what all other species and even our earliest ancestors did during their times in late gestation: We split off from our rootedness in the mother and we cast that unyielding surround of the womb and placenta — and the mother, by proxy — into ‘the enemy,’ needing to be fought. We create a duality between us and Nature, us and other people ... and in terms of how this comes out later in rampant misogyny, between us and women, if we are male.” While many of our descents occurred over time, in a historical progression, one following the other, others happened concurrently, or else we have no way of knowing which development came earlier than another. When they developed together or around the same time, for the most part, in ordering these descents of man, I put the… THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 29

In Amazonian healing the main tool is song. The icaro is said to be received from a plant during a long apprenticeship, sung with mapacho smoke, a rattle or a leaf fan. Ethnographers describe them; some are not meant to be recorded.

This is because I am operating not out of shared concepts but common experiences, out of which those concepts arise. I might not know exactly what a person from India means when she says dukkha, which is a Sanskrit term and which I can translate into English as meaning suffering. For the person in India, that word might have connotations that I would not get. Yet someone else in that same culture, India, might have a similar problem in not fully understanding exactly what the first person meant by it. The point is that I know the experience of suffering, and that is common between us. If additionally, I see that person after her loved one has died and she is visibly distraught — which is something I know and comprehend because I act similarly at times and I know how that feels — and she says to me “Life is dukkha,” I believe I might know what she is expressing by that on a deep level that compares with and might perhaps even exceed the understandings of that by someone else in her culture. This would be true, especially, if that other person has not had such tragedy or similar experiences in their lives. You see, I know what the word denotes — what it means, not relative to other concepts and in a context of the abstract, which would be connotation, but relative to experience ... experience which is shared between humans. The word for me is connected to an experiential… PROLOGUE: PRIMAL PSYCHOLOGY, FARTHER REACHES OF EXPERIENCE Page 48
