“...the joy grids ... could be brought forward as workable alternatives to the client’s previous self-destructive and maladaptive strategies emanating out of the pain grids.” At any rate, along with these grids I proposed an addendum to the primal therapy as advanced by Janov; which involved only the experiencing of painful events from one’s past — the pain grids; that included discovering and re-experiencing aspects of one’s life that were blissful and happy and workable — the joy grids — and which could be brought forward as workable alternatives to the client’s previous self-destructive and maladaptive strategies emanating out of the pain grids. Janov would not know of these for his paradigm did not include the possibility of these experiences; and it 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 opening up to experiences that occurred before one’s birth and to the relatively contented state of early womb experience,… RETURN TO GRACE Page 77

RETURN TO GRACE Page 77 …which we interpreted our experience, our lives, and others. These grids could not be more distinct, in the primal process, for in a session, after accessing and releasing-integrating material rooted in one’s pain grids, one would sometimes find joy grids rising up. Put another way, one would begin a primal session looking at everything in a negative light that fit into overall negative matrices that one carried within oneself for most of one’s life. But upon accessing deeper experiences, prenatal ones, in which one experienced euphoric, blissful, or contented events, one would, almost magically, view those exact same seemingly negative elements in a different configuration, one which was positive and life affirming. This joy- grid configuration beyond the pain-grid viewpoint gave one hints of different, more positive and workable, strategies for living and for arranging and following through on the details of one’s life. The switch in the way one viewed the world would be drastic ... and wonderful. It was far more healing and growthful than merely accessing one’s pain grids, as in traditional primal therapy. Thus, “the second half of the cure.”4

Michael Adzema — The Second Half of the Cure; Pain, Joy, and Spiritual Grids; Unconditional Acceptance and the Primal Process The Second Half of the Cure ... Pain and Joy Grids This research and understanding led directly into my understanding of the “second half of the cure” and to my subsequent postulations of pain grids, joy grids, and spiritual grids, as being three fundamental matrices of human personality and behavior, which are accessible through deep primal and experiential work.3 I called them grids, for they were the filters, windows, “frames,” or “grids,” through which we viewed our reality, other people, and in line with which we interpreted our experience. They were grids, because they were both the frameworks upon which we built our life and experience and all other knowledge that came afterwards, and which undergirded our entire lives, but they were also the screens we looked through and the framework or grids or matrices through… WOMB WITH A VIEW — THE PRENATAL AND PERINATAL UNCONSCIOUS Page 76

Primal Process as Spiritual Process While I would agree with Janov, as wells as Fodor2 who earlier had made the case for paranormal phenomena having psychological roots, that the majority of what are thought to be religious, spiritual, occult, or transpersonal experiences are, indeed, mere products of psychological events, especially those that are traumatic, still, I was one of those who were enabled in going beyond Janov’s paradigm into actual transpersonal states and experiences by the work and the new paradigm I had asserted in my article. So, since I had and after I had carried Janov’s contention to their limits and had actual spiritual experiences beyond the ones rooted in primal pain and had experienced healing and growth, as a result of these transpersonal experiences, beyond what Janov knew was possible for his therapy, you can see that I was unusually qualified to assert this correction of Janov’s paradigm, which gave validation to some forms of spiritual experience, though by no means all.

Subsequently, primalers had the support they needed to go into the early prenatal, the cellular, and the transpersonal regions that their primal process was taking them, but which, in Janov’s limited paradigm, were being overlooked or misinterpreted because they had prematurely been misclassified as impossible and non-existent, or as having roots in primal pain. Indeed, having believed Janov’s paradigm for years and for the great bulk of the primal work I would do, and having complied with Janov’s dictum in my own primal work and that of others who I had facilitated, by tracing any seemingly transpersonal experiences to primal pain and clearing it out there, I… “All of this points to the existence of something that is subtler than the physical body.... The evidence also seems to suggest that this subtler self permeates ... matter and life ... outside of the personal domain and ... can be accurately termed transpersonal.” RETURN TO GRACE Page 75

As I put it, in words remarkably like his, as quoted from Falls from Grace (2014), where this article ended up being published as Section Two, Chapters 6 through 18 of that book of mine: Proof of “God” Some of these experiences, especially in the parapsychological realm (such as ESP, clairvoyance, and ancestral memories), have even found verification with an astonishing degree of accuracy in Grof’s follow-up research. Even the primal perspective, which points to the existence of memory and consciousness at the fetal, single cell, and sperm and egg level, certainly would have to acknowledge such awareness to have more subtle underpinnings than the brain and spinal cord. All of this points to the existence of something that is subtler than the physical body and undergirds the entire length of one’s physical life. The evidence also seems to suggest that this subtler self permeates much of matter and life in realms outside of the personal domain and therefore can be accurately termed transpersonal.1 Subsequently, primalers had the support they needed to go into the early prenatal, the cellular, and…

Had liberated souls gone through a kind of primal therapy on their way to enlightenment? It seemed to be so. Also, I found that scientific measurements of brain wave and other aspects of brain function coincided at advanced levels of both the primal and spiritual processes: Both kinds of practitioners — primalers and meditators — had extraordinarily easy access to theta and delta wave patterns, for example. Lastly, I was able to show that the terminology, with, at the most, slight adjustments in the perspective, in both spiritual and primal processes corresponded in nearly every case. Proof of Soul ... God? In the article that resulted from this project and was published, six years later, in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology (1985), I broke from Janov in asserting a valid spirituality and the possible existence of a God or Spirit beyond our physical confines. Remember that Peerbolte pointed out that existence of memory from before conception and at conception indicated the existence of a soul.

In my bachelor’s thesis I sought to discover whether spirituality and God were real or were results of primal pain, as Arthur Janov contended. While approaching the project from Janov’s perspective and not entertaining spiritual interpretations in the least, I was shocked to both begin experiencing spiritual experiences in my primaling, which could not have roots in my primal pain, and to come across other primalers who were having spiritual, transpersonal experiences in their inner work as well. Validity of Some Spiritual/Transpersonal Experiences Furthermore, research into the literature and findings of this new field and into corresponding spiritual literature led me to discover, not only that such spiritual experiences were being encountered in deep experiential psychotherapy ... Grof’s work was significant here ... but also that some primal experiences of the not so spiritual kind were remarkably like experiences that had been described as being encountered on their spiritual path by enlightened souls both currently and in previous times ... Guru Swami Muktananda’s autobiography (1974) was significant in this respect. Had liberated souls gone through a kind of primal therapy on their way to enlightenment? It seemed to be so.
