THE HUM OF THE UNIVERSE
(Sequel to “Why Dr. Dombrowski Doesn’t
Have A Life”)
by Bernard W. Bail, M.D.
The hum of the universe is the
universe alive with ceaseless activity, ceaseless change….
stars dying, stars born…with all the other
entities in transition, inhabiting the infinite
space so frightening for us to contemplate.
Everything is in motion in the
universe. The
most stationary of rocks, seemingly unchanged forever,
are in a constant state of flux. More obvious
are our oceans in constant motion, the grass, the
trees, the flowers, the creatures of the summer.
Everything is in motion except Man, restricted
by his imprint*, which
condemns him to a sameness of life little different
in the living from his mother and father and theirs. We
are deluded into thinking technology has changed
our lives. All technologies are clever rationalizations
to keep us in our internal carapace.
We are as imprisoned as the
turtle, and we are most like the turtle in that
we can pull ourselves
entirely into a shell. We call it denial.
The universe has given us a
plethora of creatures like the crocodiles, the
armadillos, the beetles. A
variety of creatures whose armor protects them,
but also limits them and their development in evolution. But
then, these creatures do not possess higher consciousness
which keeps them forever a crocodile or a turtle. Our
restriction is within, and for a 100 thousand years,
it has been a hindrance to our development toward
a peaceful and ever more abundant society in which
each member recognizes his kinship.
We forget we all originally
came from Africa and we are related. So why do we want to kill
each other. We obviously do not recognize
our brothers, our sisters.
After thousands of years, if
we reach for our guns to settle a dispute of
dubious origin, we
are in the grip of the most raw and immature behavior
that man can exhibit, no better than a crocodile
that rends his prey uncomprehendingly and carelessly. There
is no higher consciousness for the crocodile.
Now with this discovery of the imprint, we see
that along side the discovery of DNA - the four
amino acids in endless variations that is the secret
of our physical and physiological life, we have
the imprint that reveals the secret of our mental
and emotional life.
Ultimately, it has to be recognized
that the infant’s
consciousness before or after birth is shattered
by the unconscious projection of the mother’s
unwanted feelings. This shattering is felt
by the infant to be not only a terrifying event
but also one of great hatred. It is this
hatred that must be denied or split off from consciousness – to
protect his/her own life -- only later to be displaced
onto other persons. In fact, it is this prime
hatred that is the source of all hatred toward
the other, whether it is an individual, a group,
or a nation.
This paradigm is the fundamental
source. It
is this paradigm that creates vendettas and war,
no matter what the provocation, no matter how sophisticated
the rationalization. When that rationalization
is stripped of all pretense of cleverness the crucible
of the unconscious reveals, by its dreams, the
truth of all things. We are left here with
the immutable truth – the hatred resulting
from the shattering of the baby’s unconscious.
All wars only confine us more tightly to our inner
carapaces, our prisons of destiny, the one beyond
our conscious control and therefore beyond repair.
It seems Einstein is right when
he says that God does not throw dice. God has given us these
twin discoveries (DNA and the psychological imprint)
to hasten our way on an evolutionary swing that
mankind has never before witnessed or disinterred. The
Age of Aquarius truly lies before mankind. We
have now but to grasp it.
*
The imprint consists of unconscious, unwanted,
unresolved and unbearably painful feelings within
the mother’s
mind, which she projects into her infant. The
forceful projections painfully split or shatter to
one degree or another the infant’s nascent
being such that who the infant was supposed to be
cannot come into existence. Instead the infant
is imprinted with the unwanted aspects of his/her
mother, and it is this imprint that becomes his/her
destiny.
