U.S.A.on April, 2012 it is printed that the reason that autism is much more prevalent in males than females shows that boy babies/ boy infants and boy children have a greater nurturing need than female babies, infants, children. I want to know, Art, if you endorse this view, please? As a woman who had no love I brazenly refute that boys have a greater need of or need more love than girls. It is just not true.One thing that is true is that some parents are more eager to have male children than female and this is the reason why untold populations of future females are aborted in the womb, especially by parents from India or China. This could possibly result in tremendous suffering which female children may have possibly to endure for not being the 'right or the wanted sex.' There is a book entitled, 'An Unwanted Chinese Daughter' which exposes the plight of a girl baby born in China, now one of the most wealthy and powerful nations in the world!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-31800295039872655392012-07-14T02:05:17.155-07:002012-07-14T02:05:17.155-07:00Don't know why I said it was off topic.
Just ...Don't know why I said it was off topic.<br /><br />Just reading "Life Before Birth" and finding it quite amazing. Art do you consider the mind and body as one organism? So many tend to think of the Mind and Body as two seperate entities and most probably due to their own Neurotic split.<br /><br />In chapter 2 you talk about autoimmune diseases and by this I surmise things like Multiple Sclorosis. You talk about the Killer NK cells turning round and attacking the good healthy tissue in the same way as we can attack ourselves physcologically as we do not know who we are so to speak. Are the two not intrinsically linked? It's a chicken or Egg situation to try and seperate them out so why not simply consider the two systems as entwined just as the mind and body are as one organism. If we are Nuerotic then everything about us is going to be so. Mind, Heart, Liver, Brain, Gut etc etc. Alice Miller was of the opinion that MS and even AIDS were disease of repression which I am sure you would agree with. If you take your premise that a homosexual is a very hightly repressed person then their immune system is going to be also very repressed and so the AIDS virus is going to more easily take hold or is this simply the whole body simply reflecting the wholesale repression of the person's true self. I knew someone with MS and she was one of the most repressed people I know. I also know someone who had very bad ME so much so that he could hardly move and he too is I think a very repressed person. It's a little like my Father. He had heart disease and also psoriasis and depression I think. His Mother died from Altzemiers in her early seventies and was always a bit crazy. I am sure his womb life was chaotic and his childhood was by all accounts violent and very deprived though he never recognised the fact. His view of being beaten was "It did me no harm" rather than seeing that the harm it did him was not seeing the harm it did him, and me and my sister and our relationship.<br /><br />Finally back to my last post. Butterflies in the stomach (actually the small intestine I would think as the stomach is higher up) occur there due to very early anxiety. After all the nutriants from the Mother flow in through the cord so if we develop a sense of our own size and form we will have a cellular level awareness of where all that anxiety originally flowed from and where it flowed into in our own body. In the same way that someone has lost an arm will still have a sense of that arm existing and still feel sensation from it so too do we still have a sense of the toxins etc etc flowing into us during our womb development. We won't know that is where that anxiety originates from conciously. The Body never lies and it can so help us understand ourselves if we could only learn to read it's sometimes strange and wordless language!

There has bee...This is a completely off topic item. There has been a series on the BBC called what makes us human and tonight it's about the gut. The Enteric nervous system is suppossedly the third nervous system as well as the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. I gather it's the bit that works out what we need to eat and tells the Brain. Art how might this effect us? Is this one of the first bits of Brain to develop which is why as you say butterflies in the stomach are very primative feelings. If people who go on gut feelings tend to get things right more of the time than those who work things out in the Left Brain, is the Enteric system the mind of the Zygot or early embryo? Are we on touch with our true very early self when we go with our gut because perhaps this system is almost our first bit of Brain?planespotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315637682741508786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-15218129844494097512012-07-11T03:40:44.551-07:002012-07-11T03:40:44.551-07:00Rob: I agree that the therapy should be everywhere...Rob: I agree that the therapy should be everywhere but alas it is not.
