e) Culture — which is the accumulated, infinitely varied, and unavoidably flawed understandings of how to behave and survive in the world, developed over time, and different in every society — steps in where mind sharing ... what we disrespectfully call instinct ... should be. So here scientists are correct in saying that planetmates have instinct and we have culture to do the same thing for humans. Only, framed the way it usually is by scientists, it is used as another way of touting our superiority instead of being explained in a way that would tell what that substitution of culture for instinct actually is: Culture is an artificial substitute for what we have lost in splitting from Divinity ... or shared mind ... and it is a sufficient-for-survival construct. Yet culture is not as refined, or as close to Truth and Reality, or perfect, even, as what other planetmates have that is called instinct. Culture, in this way, is collective Ego. For Ego can be defined as the artificial consciousness construct that each individual develops to be able to function, after one has lost one’s more expanded consciousness that one had in the womb. This development — that of Ego — also has its own chapter in which to shine, coming up next. PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 46

b) Since our brains are too big to be able to stay in the womb the twenty-one months it would need for us to be born at the level of development comparable to other species when they are born, we are born prematurely with our brains not fully developed enough. Perhaps not developed enough to do that “mind sharing” that other species are able to do? c) At any rate, then we are born with even more pain, birth trauma. This causes us to lose any last traces of connection with Divinity or the participation of the individual conscious- ness in that of the group. So, indeed, we are born with a “blank slate.” Not because we have nothing, no instinct, no sense of self, no prior understandings or proclivities, or even instructions, but rather because all that we did have, unlike all other species, was wiped off our “slate,” our consciousness, during those prenatal and perinatal times of excruciating pain,… THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 45

In this light, it is likely that ideas like instinct will have as much importance in the future as the convoluted theories of astrologers who, prior to the heliocentric revolution in thought, attempted to make sense out of the movement of the stars. Consciousness re- search, with its findings in related fields such as quantum physics, transpersonal psychology, prenatal and perinatal psychology, and the new biology will, in time, demonstrate to all of science (it has been demonstrated to those of us in these fields already) that it is con- sciousness, Experience, subjectivity that is fundamental to Reality. Science will eventually acknowledge that insubstantial yet profound no-thing — that Experience, Consciousness, or mental-emotional stuff — is shared between beings, who we formerly thought were absolutely separate from each other but who we will then know actually are not and actually share identity, in a sense. In doing so it will bring clarity to our understanding of these fantastical behaviors of planetmates and make the idea of instinct to be like the emperor with no clothes — sad and laughable.

We are born with a tabula rasa, a mental blank slate, because we have repressed out of our consciousness (we have created an unconscious) all that we are and could be if we had not suppressed, re- pressed, and forgotten who we are. So that, d) Onto this blank slate we pour all the necessary learnings we need to survive; we do this through a process of parenting. However, unlike the mind sharing of other planetmates, we are only going to get any learnings we do as funneled through an even more narrowed consciousness, one even more split from Divinity or the mind we share in common with the Universe. And that more narrowed consciousness is that of our caregivers, one’s parents, usually.

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 45 At any rate, what I am saying is that many planetmates have a kind of shared mind ... they participate in a kind of field of mind or understanding ... and that gives them the ability to know things they were not taught. In a sense, the species did the learning over the course of its evolution, and it is shared mentally by all members. If that sounds unbelievable, realize that what I just described is exactly the way one new biologist, Rupert Sheldrake, describes his theory of morphogenetic fields.5 More about that later. In any case, now we have lost that shared mind. We have lost that ability. More correctly, we believe we have lost it, for we retain some ability of shared mind, or telepathy. Still, for the most part we ignore it, dismiss it, or at least downplay it, goaded on by the emptiness inside, wrought of so much forgetting. What instinct has to do with secondary altriciality and culture is that a) In the womb just before birth we experience an hellacious time which splits us off from our connection with Divinity. This is known as fetal malnutrition, and because it is a traumatic time, which we needed to push out of our mind, we sup- pressed others of our abilities along with it. Among them is that mind sharing with other beings and that felt connection with Divinity. But then,…

Or else this reasoning posits that you exist, but that you are different and superior to all the rest of Nature, to all other planetmates, which is a kind of egotism, specifically anthropocentrism, that is not consistent with true understanding. Such egoistic, anthropocentric, thinking only finds what it posits in the first place.3 Beyond that, what necessarily follows is that the machine is so wonderful it is able to perform exactly appropriately in applying its mechanical actions to an infinite number of situations and nuances of events. It apparently knows, ahead of time — that is, it is built perfectly into its configuration of molecules of DNA — when that bird is going to come across that twig, of that size, at that position in space (and time), and angle in relation to it, so that it will reach down its beak and grasp that twig and pick it up and move it to the side and over to a stack of other twigs, perfectly arranged previously in the shape of a nest, all performed perfectly, albeit somehow magically. And the bird will fit that twig into where it will most optimally bring about a further addition to that nest. PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 42

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 31 Why? Well, what happens is a direct result of bipedalism. Whereas primate young, whose parents go about on four legs, hang loosely underneath the mother’s torso in her normal posture of standing on four legs, the weight of human prenates sits smack atop several arteries and veins important for the fetuses health.

PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 44 Even then, we are not able to maintain that perfect choreography if we were to make random new changes in our movements. Yet birds have infinitely creative and seemingly random changes perfectly choreographed into their movements. Changes which are instigated by.... Well, here you see again, how magical! Instigated by no one in particular; they just occur for all participants simultaneously, not even a leader or a director in sight. Yet imagine those human dancers making endless new patterns in their routines, unplanned, spontane- ous, without direction, and perfectly synchronized in the movement and steps among all the participants. Never going to happen, right? Yet we attribute the ability of the dolphins, fish, birds, and insects to do that to instinct, and then we do not have to try to understand it anymore. We give something a name and consider it job done. Then we say the idea of shared mind — a shared field of energy comprised of knowledge or, as I have been asserting, Experience (subjectivity, consciousness), which is the only thing that exists, being shared among multiple perceivers at the same time — which also might explain it, is fantastical. Yet this idea of consciousness shared is an idea that our consciousness research is leading us toward.4

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 33 Those are the effects on blood flow when the mother is lying down on her back; yet standing upright, there is a similar impairment of blood flow to the placenta. Briend points out that in a mother’s being up and about, the effects of gravity, that is to say, of the weight of the fetus on the mother’s internal system, has a negative effect on the hydrostatic pressure in the veins. Both of these factors of reduced arterial and decreased blood flow in the veins are especially impactful for the growth of the prenate during the last few weeks of gestation. The conclusion is that uprightness of posture had adverse effects on the neonate and its mother at birth, in creating the most difficult births of humans among all planetmates; but also in the last month of gestation, in creating such a reduction in the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus as to cause it to radically abate its ability to continue growing. Veins which remove the waste products of food conversion are pressed upon as well. With blood vessels compressed, blood flow to the fetus is reduced, while the mother is standing, especially, but in other positions as well, except the lateral position. This involves lying on one’s side, hence it is not a position frequently adopted.

PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 36 when the veins are restricted. The “garbage” backs up in the system, leaving us, as prenates, stewing in it. The other pain that is misattributed in Grof’s schema is the one at birth where he describes the filthy, even scatological (associated with feces), aspect of birth. He says that we are born into the mother’s feces, which are released at the time of birth. While it is no doubt true that happens if the mother does not receive the standard pre- birth enema needed, the mother does have this taken care of in any of our modern times. Hence, how clients could be experiencing wallowing in shit and other filth is hard to understand, unless one does, as Grof is wont to do, attribute it to the transpersonal facet of the perinatal matrix or constellation of events. This is saying that he would attribute the existence of such filth around the time of birth, when it did not happen in that individual’s actual life, to the fact that it presumably has happened for the vast majority of humans for the greatest extent of our time as a species. Additionally, he might bring in archetypal elements — such as those involving filthy, disgusting hells and murderous, blood-thirsty mother and evil goddess figures — to explain it. This application of arche- typal understandings is saying that Grof might, for example, relate it to the archetype of Mother Kali, from Indian literature, or to any of the other fiercesome mother archetypes, as well as to ideas about hell which involve it being dirty, revolting, and involving burning or fire.

This pain shows up quite a bit in Grof’s work where he, and I assume the client, mistakenly relate it to earlier in the womb. This no doubt is often the case and sadly has increased in modern times: We are sickened and traumatized earlier in the womb when our mother consumes or breathes in toxins — be they from smoking, from drink- ing alcohol, from ingestion of drugs and pharmaceuticals, from inhala- tion of polluted and toxic air, or from consumption of toxic, additive-ridden food. However, I submit that it happens to us all, virtually, except for very early premies being born prior to that eventful last month. And it is not merely the result of what the mother ingests, but it is a consequence of what the mother is breathing and eating not getting to the fetus sufficiently, because of a constricted blood flow, and along with that, on the egress side of fetal dining, the prenate’s byproducts of food conversion not being removed as efficiently. The prenate’s waste matter must be removed by that blood flow as well. So there is a discernible, to the fetus, buildup of toxic waste products… THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 35

As Briend explains it, becoming bipedal did more than make birth more difficult for humans, which scientists commonly acknow- ledge, it caused the lower lumbar of the vertebrae and the sacrum to be thrust forward. This unique human skeletal modification reduced the space in the female body for the uterus and resulted in a significant interference with maternal hemodynamics, that is to say, blood flow. Specifically, when the mother is lying down or standing this reduction in blood flow is pronounced. It is only alleviated somewhat when the mother is lying down and in a lateral position, which is to say when she is lying down on her side. Now, this is rarely the case.

In the supine position, lying on one’s back, face up, the arteries that go down along the lumbar spine, which are the vena cava and the aorta, are compressed. As Briend explains, compression of the aorta causes a drop in arterial blood pressure distal to the lumbar lordosis. This directly impacts the nutrition of the prenate, in that it reduces blood flow involving the uterus. Additionally, pressure on the inferior vena cava causes a reduction in blood volume and a decrease of cardiac output. This is highly significant for the fetus in that both of these, blood volume and cardiac output, prior to this in the prenate’s gestation, had been substantially increased to facilitate the prenate’s extraordinary development.

“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.

So these genes of instinct evolved over millions of years some- how knew in advance, millions of years before now, what a particular flock of birds was going to do at a particular millisecond of time (and all birds in all flocks in every millisecond of time over the course of millions of years). Yet instinct is supposed to be the down-to-earth, real-world, “scientific” explanation for these incredible movements of birds, insects, and other similar planetmates. Instinct implies a kind of foreknowledge, premonition, or clairvoyance wilder than anything imaginable (and all contained within that microscopically small package of DNA), but somehow the idea of telepathy — what I am calling mind-sharing — is considered unscientific and too fantastical to be believed. The same with dolphins and fish. We see their precise synchro- nous movements, as they move perfectly together in swimming and jumping, and we say that is instinctive. We cannot know how they could possibly perfectly choreograph their movements far more pre- cisely than any contestants on Dancing with the Stars are able to, even after much training. Actually it is more like the choreography of groups of humans that is arrived at after months of hard work to get it right. THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 43

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 re- cently 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. The way this looks on a chart is that the curve of growth, undeterred and relatively perfect in its progression for the first eight months, begins to flatten out. The fetus is no longer growing optimally, as it had been. PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 30

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 43 That’s quite the watch! It assumes, also, that all the learning that we observe planetmates doing concurrent with the manifestation of said instinctive acts are not actual “learning” but are part of that clockwork-like predeter- mination of any and all events — no matter how tiny or insignificant — which is caused by the infinitesimal configuration of its inner “gears” of DNA. And, remember, no consciousness involved! Hell, that’s not necessary, right? Not fantastical enough, this behavior is not just of a crude sort, for example, a bird’s ability to create a nest. No, somehow instinct is said to account for the fact that birds are able to, not only fly in formation, but make specific synchronous movements in full flight among all of them, and to do it always and an infinite numbers of times, all without any blemishes in their choreography, or mistake, or collision among them. Supposedly, these genes of millions of years development know when and how each individual bird in flight, throughout that span of eons, is supposed to move in any particular millisecond that each individual bird is in flight.

So in most situations the prenate is not getting enough nutrition to grow at its previous pace. However, remember that the fetus does not breathe air like it will later. It gets all its oxygen through the arteries coming to it from the placenta. Therefore it will be starved for oxygen along with all other nutrients. Conceivably, with oxygen being the primary nutrient required for life, this prenatal suffocation has at least as much, if not considerably more, influence on the growth of the prenate. Concomitant with this reduction of resources, the blood flow necessary to remove the byproducts of food conversion is itself im- paired. With a backing up of toxins, this way, there is a buildup of noxious substances in the fetal surround. The fetus feels itself not just hungry and “gasping,” but poisoned and irritated as well. We experience feelings of being force-fed impurities, with our impurities being inadequately removed. This leads to a complex of feelings that are kind of a prenatal disgust. I call this prenatal revulsion. In addition, with the fresh sensitivity of newly acquired and unimpaired senses, we feel this toxicity around us, not just being fed… THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 33

So in most situations the prenate is not getting enough nutrition to grow at its previous pace. However, remember that the fetus does not breathe air like it will later. It gets all its oxygen through the arteries coming to it from the placenta. Therefore it will be starved for oxygen along with all other nutrients. Conceivably, with oxygen being the primary nutrient required for life, this prenatal suffocation has at least as much, if not considerably more, influence on the growth of the prenate. Concomitant with this reduction of resources, the blood flow necessary to remove the byproducts of food conversion is itself im- paired. With a backing up of toxins, this way, there is a buildup of noxious substances in the fetal surround. The fetus feels itself not just hungry and “gasping,” but poisoned and irritated as well. We experience feelings of being force-fed impurities, with our impurities being inadequately removed. This leads to a complex of feelings that are kind of a prenatal disgust. I call this prenatal revulsion. In addition, with the fresh sensitivity of newly acquired and unimpaired senses, we feel this toxicity around us, not just being fed… THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 33

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 37 As I have written again and again, how what happens to us prenatally is interpreted is all important and that interpretation is influenced by our knowledge of what is supposed to happen. Swami Guru Muktananda (1974), in his autobiography, said he “hopped like a frog” in his spiritual “practice.” However, he might have related it instead to a time as a fetus, kicking in the womb, or at birth, pushing with his legs to get out ... that is to say, in re-experiencing it, like he wished he could but was not able to do at that time ... or even cellularly, where in re-experiencing our time as a sperm one will kick frantically in a way like the sperm does to propel itself via its long tail. That is, Muktananda might have interpreted his experience that way, instead of describing it as being frog-like, if he had known such possibilities of re-experiencing early events exist. Can re-experiencers make such a misattribution? Absolutely, yes. In the course of a session, experiences come one upon the other, often. And fractals of a feeling are mixed with times both before and after the time one thinks one is re-experiencing. It is the feeling that is the central quality and determines what will be experienced. The feeling is the core and draws to it various events, which happened at different times, which contain that same core feeling or trauma. These are feeling complexes; Janov used the term compound feelings to describe this tendency to feel earlier and later fractals of the same…

THE FOURTH DESCENT — FETAL MALNUTRITION Page 35 I am not alone in asserting this. In fact, my earliest ideas about this, outside of the experiences of it in primal re-experience I had two decades previous to reading about it, came to me via Lloyd deMause (1982, 2002) in his important works. He sums up these experiences with the term, the suffering fetus, and he proposes as the reason for our trauma that we are connected to our mothers through a poisonous placenta. A sidenote: Some prenatal and perinatal psychologists question the existence of this pain. Thomas Verny, a primal therapist and the author of The Secret Life of the Unborn Child (1981), is reported to have said he never heard of such trauma around fetal malnutrition being described as occurring in the course of the primal therapy that he, and other primal therapists, facilitated in people. However, I contend that the reason they have not is that they are confusing the pain of this time with two other times perinatally — earlier in the womb, as I have stated ... and at the time of birth. In addition, I can tell you I re- experienced it. Furthermore, the re-experience of it comes only after many years of primal re-experience of easier to integrate traumas, and few people stay with this kind of inner journeying and healing that long, as I have. This pain shows up quite a bit in Grof’s work where he, and I assume the client, mistakenly relate it to earlier in the womb.
