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.” Not as important as you should be, if you were to get your needs satisfied and to thrive. Since the definition of being loved is having one’s needs taken care of, you will not feel loved for who you are. Yes, going back even to the time of birth this is true. And even prior to that — in the womb and especially during the time of fetal malnutrition, where we found ourselves suffocating and starving — we feel an outside world has turned on us and is attacking us, hardly supporting and “loving” us for who we are. With that deprivation and those feelings of being unseen and unloved in place already by the time of infancy, it is only a matter of more time, then, before one will begin to turn that into, “I cannot be loved for who I am, so who should I be, then?” These are the philosophic bands that arise at birth, importantly including the prime directives of life — “Who am I?” and “Who to be?” One’s earlier human nature and innate Divinity were forgotten in the trauma of birth, leaving one an Ego — one that is blank, a tabula rasa.1 And upon that blank slate will be imprinted the behaviors and the messages from those behaviors that one gets from one’s parents, especially one’s mother.

INTRODUCTION Page 4 And for long periods of time. Considering the reasons — food acquisition and safety from predators, which both involve survival and with one of them being extra motivating to endure long periods of uprightness so as to avoid a ghastly and brutal end — there was huge incentive to stay out in the water for extensive lengths of time, standing. And to avoid being eaten as well as to get the best things for eating, oftentimes it was the most benefit to be standing as far out in the water as could be, with only one’s head above the surface. At first we were practicing our new skill of keeping our “chins up” (old chum) only in water. Eventually, for other reasons we found it helpful to be bipedal on land as well. These included keeping one’s hands and arms available for carrying an infant, for with our loss of hair ... oh, did I fail to mention that? ... yes, we lost our hair like all other mammals who go out to sea ... and I assure you, we were not the first. Anyway, with our loss of hair, infants could no longer hold onto fur, as our primate relatives do. Furthermore, with humans being born more helpless than our cousins and staying that way for a longer period of time after birth, our very young ones were not developed enough to cling anyway. We’ll get into that shortly, with prematurity of birth and secondary altriciality.

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.”

But back then, it was an advantage to be by the sea. We were still planetmates and Earth Citizens, of course, and we belonged in Nature. We retained our planetmate nobility and took our honored spot in the ecosystem of Gaia. We were still in Eden, so to speak. Then a fateful development ensued. Our First Split with Nature Began When We Stood Up You see, in the water there is a huge advantage in foraging to be able to raise oneself up on one’s hind legs. One could go out further in the water, much further. Naturally, those that did increased their success in acquiring food. They survived; they reproduced. They won out in the process of natural selection. There was an even greater advantage attached to water in terms of safety from predators. Again, wading out as far as possible brought the greatest security. For both reasons, over time our primate ancestors found it increasingly advantageous to stand up. And not just to stand up, but to stay up! THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 3

“‘Child sacrifice’ — the natural self slain, the ego ‘is rewarded for being obsequious while the real self seethes in the prison of loneliness.’” However important the dynamics of the life stage of adolescence and Identity — it, itself, is built upon an even earlier and more influential development. This earlier fall from grace away from authenticity represents an even more fundamental illusion of self and perversion of personality. For one needs to be prepared, to be readied, as it were, to be able or be amenable to giving up one’s self to a culturally constructed one, especially one that is chosen for one. How is that readiness brought about? Well, before one is willing to give up self and hand over one’s life to authorities, bosses, and to the protocols of society, one needs to have an experience of having already lost oneself at one time ... of having already given up oneself.

THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 3 …waterholes with other planetmates, which included lions and other carnivores; and that was occasionally fatal. Yet the water was also the best place — and oftentimes, along the seashores, the only place — to escape from predators. So in addition to our former way of seeking refuge in the trees, around water we could make our way out into it as well to escape. Most carnivores looking at us as lunch were averse to water. Their loss, our gain. Even better, there were other ... different and more varied ... food sources that came with water. Shorelines, marshlands, and lakesides provided both welcome relief from the increased temperatures as well as served up succulent new foods such as fish, crab, kelp, snails, and items comparable to what we know of as oyster, lobster, and mussels, today. This was in addition to the lush vegetation that grew near water. Whereas most of our species at that time died off, those who had waterfront property thrived. Which, strangely enough, is exactly the opposite of what will happen in the near future with climate change and the sea and ocean levels rising today. There’s a cruel karmic justice for ya.

This warming began at around twenty-one million years ago and receded only about fourteen mya. Life was no longer so good. The days were hot and discomforting. Rising temperatures meant tree lines receded, leaving open space in Africa for savannah and desert. Vegetation was harder to come by. Very many, most actually, of our would-be progenitors died off. That would have been the end, and we would not be around today, except for.... Water. Our Second Residence Was Waterfront Property Luckily for us, some of our ancestors did live near oceans, streams, marshes, rivers, and lakes. And what a relief it was to have water to cool off with on those hot scorching days. Furthermore, this was the best possible place to forage. Vegetation still grew prodigiously near water sources.

genocides, ecocide, and to murder from afar and upon command. So we arrive at our situation today, separated from Nature, inauthentic and confused about roles in life and proper ways of being in tune with our deepest selves, pervasively unhappy and driven ... in allegiance to unconscious pushes and pulls derivative of all our early traumas and emotional abuse, and about to bring down the whole shebang out of pure contrariness. Oh, what to do. Well, at this point we are thoroughly removed from Eden; we have cast aside natural ways. “By the sweat of our face we will eat our bread.” We have learned to work hard, to forgo pleasure. And we never look back, lest we be confronted by that burning pain of birth pain. The result was a human beholden always to higher-ups and uncon- sciously craving acceptance and approval in all the actions of one’s life. Well, let’s see how that, in particular, came about in a person’s life. This has everything to do with the primal scene and the ways and whys of how we surrender our true identity, our authenticity, in favor of a fake self, an unreal self, imposed on us from the outside, its roots in the desires of society’s elites, and mediated and modeled by the parents. Up next we look at infancy and childhood and how, as a result of the split of the personality into real and unreal components, we are left ever asking: “If not myself, well, then, who to be?” THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 23

INTRODUCTION Page 2 The First Descent — Bipedalism A long long time ago ... we’re talking millions of years, double digits millions ... our ancestors lived in trees in a region of the Earth now called Africa.1 Humanity’s First Home Was the Trees Our primate forbears were arboreal, scurrying along tree limbs and with a small amount of ability to brachiate, that is, to swing below the limbs and branches, like some primates do today. We slept in branches, and we took nourishment from the trees. We were primarily fruitarian, augmenting our diet with insects, caterpillars, and the like. We did not hunt or eat meat. Foraging was the way to go and was eminently sufficient during normal times. Life was good; but as happens, it did not last forever. A change came upon the Earth. It was a global warming during the Miocene Era. The Miocene Era lasted from 23 to 5.3 million years ago and included periods of both warming and cooling of the Earth’s climate, though overall it was warmer than the preceding Oligocene Era and the following Pliocene. Before sharp drops in temperature at around fourteen million years ago and again at eight million years ago, the Earth had experienced a particularly torrid time.

It is also a way humans in the modern era are different from prototypical humans, from primal humans. Let me explain. Let us go back, now, millions of years, to our most ancient of parents. Beginning at the beginning, let us make our way through the descents of “man,”4 which deposit us where we are today.

Sociopathy And with this we have the achievement of the heights of “civilization” — the sociopath. All human “evolution,” characterized as it is by increasing control of everything and anyone around, reaches its fruition in the creation of a personality without the ability to empathize, which enables a human to kill, steal, manipulate, bully, destroy the environment, kill off species, and dominate without conscience or remorse — all in the service of narcissistic desires and greed. The sociopath is the logical and inevitable omega point of man’s descent from Nature. Commiserations to Teilhard de Chardin for having gotten it backward, regarding his Omega Point, under the nearly unbreakable spell of the overweening anthropocentrism which arose in tandem to such sociopathy, sharing many of its qualities. Indeed, while this evolutionary “advance” — sociopathy — came into play with civilization, especially among elites and Controllers, these tendencies can be seen to characterize and be at play in the majority of human personalities at this time in history. While mostly recognizing these traits in their most extreme form, most humans will fail to see the reflections of them in their own selves. Unfeeling, insensitive, greedy, narcissistic, anthropocentric, and self-centered people will not know they are that way. And seeing everyone around them as much the same, they will hardly know it can be any different. This is where we are today and why we need to return to our primal personalities, our most authentic identities and ways of being, in tune with Nature and the Divine. THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 21
