Now: Reader: In the contextual reality for women of “Birth With Pain”, what do you think we might mean with the phrase, “Assisted by”? There stands a key revelation! Let’s remind ourselves of what The Spirit of Truth/The Son of Man has told us; remembering that: “All came into existence through Him”! That means all of the Creations, and also you and me!

In terms of the central subject matter of this Discourse, we will dispense with our usual format of assessing the question from the point of view of the “big three” of monotheism --- Islam, Christianity and Judaism --- simply because their opinions and doctrines here are of no value whatsoever!

The fact of “universal birthing pain” speaks for itself, and the final answer can be found in only two places, and that is not in their religious dogma, nor is it to found in the millions of pages of medical literature!

If you carefully follow the overall theme of the current six Discourses of this PART III, you will recognise that a clear thread of connectivity runs through them all, and much of it concerns women. (I think we have already said this, but that’s OK.)

Now it is time for the medical profession, particularly the branch of gynaecology, to take serious heed of the subject matter of this particular Discourse!

THE UNIVERSAL PAIN OF CHILDBIRTH. THE ENLARGING BABY CRANIUM:
A “MEDICAL” MYSTERY.

Though touching on the phenomenon of the enlarging baby cranium, this Sub-Section mainly assesses the aspects of, and reasons for, the universal pain of childbirth for birthing mothers. So, whilst primarily concerned with the pain of childbirth, we also necessarily connect to the corresponding development of Human Language.

The “connective-logic” inherent in the above statement clearly identifies the reason why what is surely supposed to be a wonderful experience of bringing new life (a new soul) into the world, human women universally must put up with sometimes severe pain in the process. The pain aspect must surely blemish the moment because impending birth for some women is filled with fear and/or trepidation. Quite obviously there is something seriously wrong here, for of all “mammals” --- warm-blooded creatures that give birth to live young --- earth-women suffer inordinately.

Compared to most mammals that give birth relatively-easily in the wild and then immediately get on with the business of survival, human birthing in our “modern societies” is generally carried out in sterile medical facilities of bright lights and stainless steel with all manner of specialist personnel in attendance --- just in case!

We are not decrying the medical advances that we all clearly benefit from, but if we really think about this question --- and we mean really think about it i.e., outside the standard everyday medical/intellectual parameters that govern all medical “stuff”, then our very soul, our spirit, will sound a quiet warning alarm to think differently about why there is so much birthing-pain for the human mother!

Now, we have said this before, but it is entirely appropriate to say it here, especially! It is not possible for there not to be a final and correct answer for every question and problem that we might encounter. So is it here, but the answer comes from a source that we are sure the medical profession and science in general will utterly reject! That, of course, is to be expected, even though such rejection would be to their detriment and continuing ignorance.

To possibly help the cause of science and medicine here, let’s enlist the aid of Joseph Ratzinger -– Pope Benedict XVI.

Pope Benedict’s Regensburg Address: The Call to Science.

On September 13^th, 2006, in Regensburg, Germany; in an address at the university where he was once a professor, Pope Benedict XVI established the basis for dialogue between cultures and religions; in effect a new relationship between faith and reason.

He said that in a world characterised by the coexistence of cultures and religions, dialogue will be successful:

Pope Benedict pointed out that modern scientific reason “...bears within itself a question which points beyond itself and beyond the possibilities of its methodology”.

Reader, before we reveal why human mothers must still yet suffer from the “pain of childbirth” i.e., until such time as Divinely-Ordained Events finally bring release from that pain for the women who are left, hold onto the good Pope’s correct insight and, with our next contribution, apply both to what will be revealed to you quite shortly. Dr. David Suzuki, in his book, The Sacred Balance (p.19), again points out:

Now we get to the nub of the only answer that matters, simply because it is the Truth of the problem, and it comes from the Bible! Do we hear sniggers of ridicule? Very likely! Still, that is where the answer has lain for over a thousand years! To flesh out this reality, let’s hear from our favourite Prophet as he prepares us for the necessary revelatory knowledge.

The message that Isaiah gave millennia ago (Ode 44: Book 1, the Fenton Bible) clearly foresaw the quandary that would develop for earth-science and scientists if the higher knowledge of Spiritual Law was not taken into account. Preceding the above scientific reality by a very long time, the following ode could almost be called: “The Scientists’ Lament”.

In blunt terms now, the answer here harks back to the reality of the great Biblical “Fall of Man”, the legacy of which has been a terrible disaster for global humanity! It was the greatest calamity that could ever befall us for it was there and then that we altered our very way of being and thinking. We changed, voluntarily we might add, from maintaining a “necessary connection” to our spiritual origins to relying more on our aspiritual intellect.

Remember what you have already read: The intellect is primarily associated with the activity of the brain. That in turn is finite because it rots away at earthly death. The Spirit --- the real you and me --- does not! These are the connecting points we give you so that you might fully grasp the profundity of the revelations that are in this Discourse.

WOMEN OF THE WORLD:

You, especially, need to get your heads around this great SPIRITUAL TRUTH, because “birthing pain” for you will not cease until a fundamental change occurs in the thinking and everyday activity of the whole human race! And it is incumbent upon you --- whether you like it or not or even if you believe this or not; for disbelief is irrelevant --- in the first instance to begin the process of instituting very necessary change in your way of thinking to begin with!

Thus, we begin to learn that even though the two key aspects of “WHY” are intrinsically connected by virtue of the origin of firstly the universal pain of childbirth and secondly the fact that birthing pain for some is caused by the phenomenon of enlarging crania, the seeming paradox here as the actual reason/s for both, is that despite their inherently-close association with regard to the genesis of both aspects, they could nonetheless be construed as stemming from different beginnings. Did you understand what we meant there? If you didn’t, keep reading!

With the pain of childbirth now universally accepted as being very normal, women individually, women’s groups, and all of the medical profession dealing in obstetrics especially, should really consider why that is so, and/or perhaps even why that need be so. An especial note is called for here!

As a writer who occupies the full and thus completely natural male end of the gender spectrum, I am sure that many women will be amazed at the sheer effrontery of my comments. For what would a mere man know of a woman’s feelings and emotions in childbirth? Of course, that is absolutely correct insofar as the physical and emotional experience is concerned, and I am sure that no man would ever presume to know. However, what we can never push away is the clear fact that the ‘mechanics’ of the process which occur from conception to birth can only take place under the aegis of precise, non-negotiable, non-emotional, Creation-Law parameters.

So, irrespective of what we may wish to place on childbirth, women’s notions and feelings, father’s notions and feelings, religious, philosophical, cultural or social beliefs and commentary, etc., the fact will forever remain that the path from conception to birth -- even if generated by in-vitro fertilisation -- is, unarguably, absolutely subject to Immutable Creation-Law!

On the question of ‘birthing pain’, therefore: It is well known that the contractions necessary to propel the baby toward birth are painful for all women, never mind an enlarging baby cranium to complicate matters further for some. And even though the pain-threshold for birthing mothers would obviously vary, the ‘normal’ human birthing process associated with ‘labour’ and ‘delivery’ nonetheless produces pain for all, so epidurals are common.

Therefore, especially centred on that reality, what we state explanatorily in the two linking sub-Sections to be the actual reason/s for the high pain levels and enlarging baby crania will most certainly be branded ridiculous, trite, foolish, uninformed and/or uneducated to the point of being ignorant, totally unscientific — and perhaps even dangerously religious. And thus, will surely offend many!

The opposite, however, stands as The Truth here!’

For no matter how many times in this Work we necessarily repeat the following clear and unarguable fact, it will not yet find easy accommodation with the educational establishment, particularly. So, therefore, once more for all educationalists and their political masters:

Now, reader; here we will learn the HOW and the WHY of “birth with pain”! Firstly, however, let us again seriously stress the fact that the actual answer to both these key questions — and I can hear many disbelieving cries of; ‘Oh no, not more religious rubbish’ — really is in an especial book: The Bible!

At this point we must revisit the step-by-stupendous step of the complete Creation-process beginning with the immediate creation of male and female in the First Creation. Very much later after that came the “coming into being”, the forming of animal-man, “from out of the dust of the ground”, which occurred in the secondary Subsequent Creation.

Finally, the entry of the human-spiritual aspect into those prepared primate vessels which thereby permitted and facilitated our human growth and development to this present, 21st-century evolutionary point.

Human reproductive ability subsequently burdened a Planet Earth that in 2021 at this writing is groaning at the seams with a population of over the 7 billion mark and rapidly increasing. From a very early time, that long progression brought in its train a cranial aberration in foetal development.

Very interestingly --- and perhaps almost unexpectedly --- the clues to the resolution of both the problems being addressed here are found in specific texts in The Book of Genesis under the sub-heading: The Temptation of Eve. Reader: You should stay with this seemingly unlikely thread because it really does provide an answer to a current medical quandary.

To track that answer, we need to visit the story of Adam and Eve. Whilst taken literally by many millions, that narrative should really be understood as being more symbolic of the entry of sin into the world. In other words, they symbolically made a free-will choice thus producing a specific outcome under the inviolable outworking of The Law of Reciprocal Action.

As a footnote here, Islam very curiously regards Adam as one of the Muslim religion’s main prophets.

In the context of the two questions being addressed here -- the universally-tolerated ‘birthing pains’ and the enlarging baby cranium which medical science is currently puzzling over -–- certain key Scriptures unequivocally answer the question of that “pain”. They also, paradoxically, offer the clues that link to a secondary developmental progression of the human race, which therein provides the complete reason for the growing problem of the enlarging cranium in many human babies. (More on that shortly!)

So: The singular reason for Eve being commanded not to eat (ingest) of just one particular tree in the Garden of Eden lies in the effect that that particular fruit had upon her and Adam once they had tasted (ingested) it. In Genesis 3:1-7 in Fenton’s Bible, the tempting serpent asks Eve:

The key point here centres on the well-known fact that for us humans, forbidden fruit is invariably perceived as tasty, alluring, and stimulating to certain senses in an inappropriate way, or stimulating for clearly wrong reasons. Therefore, the notion that an actual reptile tempted Eve does not at all hold up to just plain and simple logic. And Creation-Law cannot be anything other than logical; either in its “Form” and “Essence”, or in its inviolable outworking.

The ‘serpent’ that enticingly tempts humankind is therefore the quiet, insidious, ever-so-seductive voice which our inner ‘spiritual’ conscience strives to warn against. Unfortunately, however, the outer and worldly ‘intellectual’ part of us invariably ignores such warnings therewith leading to our embracing of the wrong aspect, and thus to our spiritual fall. So, to taste of fruit that will bring spiritual death is simply to choose a path that opposes The Spiritual Laws of Creation; thus, one that no longer adheres to a spiritual way, but is the chosen (by humankind) intellectual way.

(It is the way of the ‘shrewdly-calculating’ intellect which, of course, we now understand as the ‘Lucifer Principle’ of Temptation.)

To repeat: Eve (humankind) rejected the (correct) spiritual way and chose, instead, the alluring intellectual way -- solely. Now it is “the way of the world” with all its attendant aspiritual garbage and increasing problems. We therefore sowed the wind in the (female) decision, but now reap the whirlwind -- primarily for women in this case -- in the (female) outcome. For in Genesis 3:16, Fenton, is revealed the very answer that this Discourse addresses:

Eve: meaning Khavah, or life-container. In the context of our subject matter, is that not an interesting fact, reader?

THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS

‘Of all creatures on Earth, human woman is burdened with the painful birth of offspring. Rather than being a relatively uncomplicated, natural event, human birthing has virtually become a ‘medical procedure’ with, at times, a whole team of medical staff actively involved. Of course, that is exactly right if there are complications. However, the development and necessity for there to be specialist wards in modern hospitals as the accepted norm now seems to be a ‘reversal’ of what should be more the ‘natural order’.

To that reality, have we really considered why, in many cases, women cannot easily become pregnant? The increasing numbers of women opting for I.V.F. treatment to facilitate pregnancy obviously shows that natural pregnancies appear to be harder to achieve. Perhaps it is Mother Nature’s way of telling us to wake up and make some fundamental changes in our way of being!

Let us hammer this once more: In the case of serious birthing difficulties, both the affected mother and attending obstetrics professionals really need to take into account the knowledge and outworking of The Primordial Laws of Creation. For within the sure “outworking” of certain specific and connecting Laws of Creation; therein will often be found the actual reason/s for traumatic births. In other words, irrespective of what the physical/medical considerations might indicate for the particular problem or for the mother, certain connecting links between her and the newly emerging soul may hold the deeper reason. In such cases, the medical situation will simply parallel the final outworking of the more decisive Spiritual aspect.

On the question of the enlarging baby cranium that Western obstetrics’ specialists and researchers are currently striving to answer, the equation is quite simple, though, of course, problematic: An enlarging baby cranium needing to exit the womb through a pelvic girdle that is not enlarging. The natural accompaniment is the potential for increased pain and a longer time in labour. We have asked; why should that be? What factor or factors prevent such a logical accommodation? Why will Mother Nature not provide the obvious solution; hold the cranium to a size that is exactly right for natural, uncomplicated, and relatively painless childbirth for human mothers?

Whilst other life-forms can have difficult births, in the case of the millions of herd animals that must give birth quickly and easily for simple survival of their offspring which must be ready to run with the herd just hours after birth; for the most part they go about their birthing business with relative ease and few complications. Natural predators ‘sort out’ any problematic births. With mammals that produce multiple births in the wild (a ‘litter’ of wolf pups for example), the females usually give birth easily, lick the litter clean and suckle them immediately, and without any further requirement for ‘extra care’.

Where human interference in the form of specific breeding occurs, however, there we may see birthing problems -– as in the case of the English bulldog. Bred for bull-baiting, the now too-large-head is so problematic for the birthing bitch that 95% of births are caesarean. Free whelping is not recommended.’ A special and very relevant comment is called for here:

Now we get to the second contributing factor in the long step-by-step process in foetal developmental of incrementally-enlarging baby crania. From the knowledge of The Divine Laws of Creation, we can note the primary cause as being the “purposely cultivated growth” of our human intellect, and the naturally-commensurate “stunting” of our crucial “spiritual” faculty! What has also contributed to a large degree to that has been Language; or, more correctly, the “spiritual misuse” of the “Gift of Language”!

At first glance, however, a connection between a newly-recognised medical problem --- perhaps more relevant with Western birth-mothers --- and human Language may seem tenuous at best and perhaps even rather silly at worst. However, as we state throughout this Work, it is not possible for there not to be answers to the questions that affect us here on earth. In this particular case, the actual reason/s will certainly not fit with accepted medical-science protocols (or even beliefs) in either research or “best practice parameters” in modern-day, first-world obstetrics.

So: We have learned that not only is the answer to our primary question actually in the Bible, but the second contributing factor is also specifically identified in that especial Book! Moreover, they are answers/reasons in exact concert with the great and inviolable Law of Reciprocal Action — The Iron Law of Sowing and Reaping.

(As we have hammered so often now: We of the human species will yet learn that we simply cannot transgress Creation-Law with impunity and still believe there are no consequences from doing so. The greater the degree of transgressing, the more severe the consequential outcome.) And that is exactly what has resulted from the two connecting considerations of this problem.

The primary issue once again is this: In more or less ‘evolutionary’ terms, why has the brain case of the human baby enlarged to such a degree that the head size in relation to body size is now so disproportionately big at birth that it can pose serious problems for delivery? Recent calculations of the cranium-size of new-born babies -- in Western births -- on average run to over 12% of total body mass, while in adults the same represents just over 2%.

Precisely because the enlarging baby cranium aspect centres on the skeletal frame of the human being, the actual answer in the final analysis automatically incorporates scientific realities.

Herein lies a paradox because the actual and thus ultimate cause of this ‘medical’ quandary in humans centres specifically on our inherent attribute of free-will, which should have always been used “in the right spiritual way” --- but never was! Animals cannot possibly ever be similarly burdened. We of global humanity, however, having long-chosen our path, are now “reaping what we have sown”.

There is the primary answer for the spiritually-perceptive reader; but probably not for the non-spiritually-receptive-intellectual. The intellect of man, whilst absolutely necessary for everyday tasks on earth, has no perceptive spiritual capacity whatsoever, so has no affinity with higher Spiritual knowledge. That is why many noted and lauded ‘intellectuals’, in commentary and/or in their writings, rail against the reality or even notion of ‘inviolable absolutes’ such as Creation-Law and Spiritual Truth.

The terrible but nonetheless self-wrought tragedy resulting from this non-recognition and non-acceptance --- and thus rejection of immutable Creation-Law Truth by the very people who, educationally, sway hundreds of millions to their non-recognition --- is a world blind to the very knowledge that could (have once) ‘turned things around’.

Specifically for scientists, educationalists, theologians, noted intellectuals –- but also for birthing mothers today --- Isaiah, the great ‘Old Testament Prophet’ from the eighth century B.C., warned that humankind would reach this very point we are now fruitlessly struggling with. WHY? From 24:5-6, Fenton, once again Isaiah speaks:

Now, reader; to complete this picture of revelatory knowledge, we must look at a specific connection related to the development of Language, but from primarily the higher “spiritual” aspect. The whole picture of the enlarging baby cranium, therefore, has precise resonance with, and to, human language.

In 2009, Documentary Channels examined the phenomenon of the human baby’s enlarging cranium. According to the various researchers interviewed, the baby’s head will only fit through the pelvic girdle one way. So, unless the baby receives a ‘signal’ to rotate its head to the right position as it approaches that point, the head -- and therefore the rest of the body --- will not get through the pelvic girdle to transit into the birth canal.

In some cases, evidently increasing, even that is no longer naturally possible for increasing numbers of mothers, thus requiring Caesarean deliveries for every baby born to them.

The question for medical researchers presently studying this ‘development’ must surely be, again: Why? For this is not a ‘mutation’!

Ordinarily, evolutionary processes will ensure that development or change in one area will be matched by the appropriate ‘developmental response’ in the correspondingly-affected area. In the case of the human female pelvic-girdle configuration, continuing enlargement of the birth baby’s ‘head space’ to keep pace with an enlarging baby cranium would only be viable if we reverted back to the stronger skeletal structure of Neanderthals.

However, the heavier bone required for larger pelvic girdles, thus leading to correspondingly larger hips, means much slower bi-pedal locomotion. An enlarging pelvic girdle in the finer skeleton of the modern female form would probably eventually result in a weakened skeletal structure, so would not be a good outcome in terms of optimal ‘evolutionary’ or ‘growth’ development to accommodate enlarging baby crania.

The ‘head rotation manoeuvre’ that babies perform in order to exit the womb has produced two divergent opinions among researchers. One view holds that that has always been the case, whilst the opposite notion tends towards it being a more or less ‘evolutionary’ development now necessary for the mother to deliver the baby safely -- precisely because the brain case has been gradually enlarging over a very long time. So even allowing for the relatively soft bones in the skull of babies which offers some degree of ‘flexing’ at birth; increasingly, that is evidently still not sufficient to permit birth without the necessary ‘head rotation’.

Essentially, then, we have a situation where one part of this equation –-- the pelvic girdle of birth mothers --- cannot safely keep developmental pace with the enlarging heads of babies. Let’s state the problem once more in reinforcement:

“Why will Mother Nature not provide the obvious solution; hold the cranium to a size that is exactly right for natural, uncomplicated and relatively painless childbirth for human mothers?” Why has this completely natural process become so problematic for humans that more and more ‘C sections’ (need to be) performed? In evolutionary terms, why has the cranium of the human baby enlarged to such a degree that the head size in relation to body size is now so disproportionately big at birth that it can pose serious problems for delivery?

Echoing Einstein’s deep understanding of where real knowledge truly comes from, the answer to the question we address in this secondary segment really can be intuitively understood. Einstein’s truly remarkable insights transcend by light-years the general lot of certainly the great bulk of global scientism to begin with. He says:

And for all scientists once again, the great man stated that he never came upon any of his discoveries:
“...through rational thinking”.

In blunt terms, then; the reason for the enlarging cranium in babies lies in the seriously-aberrant development --- over millennia --- of the human brain. The present-day configuration of the two primary parts -- the cerebrum and the cerebellum -- holds the key as to why the brain case is enlarged beyond its original, lawfully-ordained, structure.

The cerebrum: The large, rounded structure of the brain occupying most of the cranial cavity, divided into two cerebral hemispheres, commonly called the ‘large brain’. Therein lies a clue. (For as we noted, recent calculations of the cranium-size of new-born babies -- in Western births at least -- on average run to over 12% of total body mass, while in adults the same represents just over 2%.)

The cerebellum: (diminutive of cerebrum), often referred to as the ‘small brain’. (There lies one other part to this “mystery”.) According to neurological research, it is the structure of the brain responsible for regulation and coordination of complex voluntary movement, lying below the occipital lobes of the cerebral hemispheres.

Empirical brain research, even though identifying and correlating individual areas of the brain to precise processes and functions within the human body, does not provide the actual answer to the enlarging cranium. Scientific literature notes that birthing by human mothers has always been more difficult than for other mammals due to narrow bi-pedal hips. These two seemingly-unrelated aspects nonetheless provide the connecting link to the question of the enlarging baby cranium. From all that we have explained thus far in this Work, the reason should be clear enough.

Question: The brain? Insufficient use — or over-use? Centred on that very question, let’s itemise a few points that will help to both focus and clarify the direction we must take to understand and resolve this problem for science.

So, over-development of anything in any field can result in unexpected outcomes and/or ones not necessarily commensurate with the original projected/ assumed parameters for the particular thing. (In this modern era obsessed with the ‘body beautiful’, body-builders can develop any part of the body relatively easily. It is therefore possible to ‘bulk-up’, for example, just one arm to produce an aberrant form emulating the large protective claw that certain crabs possess -- which is natural for them.)

As an historical engineering example, original designs for bulk carriers (ships) and a particular type of bridge worked perfectly well and safely when kept within original, specification parameters. However, when modified beyond that safe original, some failed, with resultant loss of life. You may ask: ‘What has engineering got to do with brain-development?’

Well, the principle is no different. Develop anything beyond its original, ordained purpose, and it must obviously fail that purpose.

So is it with the human brain! The over-development of the intellect has resulted in the present-day, aberrant phenomenon of a brain-case enlarging to accommodate that greater and greater -- and unfortunately much lauded and desired -- intellectual capacity of modern, though now very aspiritual, man. Language, or more precisely the misuse of it, has been a major driver in this process. Man had two choices: Maintain the spiritual power that he originally imbued language with; or fall away from that vital life-connection and subvert and coarsen it with the increasingly-dominant aspiritual, earthly -- and thus earth-bound -- intellect.

How has this distortion from the time of the story of Eve’s transgression carried itself down through the generations to the present? Let’s once more hammer this point home, reader! Taken from Genesis 3:16, Fenton, the step to that progression begins thus:

If we look hard at that admonishing Scripture, it should be easy enough to recognise that there seems to be an obvious before and after element contained within it; thus “birth with pain” after the great “Fall of Man”! The very words: “You will give birth to children with pain...” is tantamount to saying: ‘Because you disobeyed’, ‘from this moment forth’ --- “You will give birth to children with pain...”

The presupposition has thus to logically be that it is the “act of disobedience” against Divine Creation-Law which must always bring in its train the commensurate pain and suffering, until such time as it is recognised and rectified in expiation.

The connecting answer to our associated query -- which the non-Christian community will no doubt regard as religious claptrap -- nonetheless also lies in the Bible. Notwithstanding the sure ‘slings and arrows’ of official academia, the actual reason for the present aberration yet resonates with very simple scientific principles. Once again, over-development is the key to understanding the secondary aspect of the overall ‘enlarging-cranium’ question.

Now we get to the nub of the problem with regard to the primary subject matter of this Discourse.

The Bible speaks of, and strongly condemns, the ‘Hereditary Sin’ of mankind. The obvious pointer to what and why lies in the word ‘hereditary’, i.e., something ‘passed on’. That means from one generation to the next. Equally obviously, that clearly cannot mean -- again as so many otherwise well-intentioned Christians firmly believe -- that we have all inherited, and are thus all tainted by, the so-called original sin of Adam and Eve.

That notion, so clearly ridiculous, has nonetheless caused much anguish and fear in many millions of unthinking, religious “church herd-animals” who hold their crass religiosity to be “higher” than Divine Truth!

ISLAM states Adam as being “created from dust”, but nonetheless “created to rule on earth”. In that belief, the Muslim faith seems not to share the Christian view of Adam contributing to an ‘original sin’ concept which supposedly forever-tainted every generation of humanity to the present-day.

That fundamentalist tenet is so completely wrong that any argument to support it simply cannot be made. For if it were correct, it would logically mean that we do not possess the attribute of ‘free-will’ and are thus subject to consequences not of our own making.

That is as illogical as it is ridiculous. Such a distorted concept of Truth does not even begin to resonate with the Perfection of Creation-Law. We are warned that we must “reap what we sow” (but solely, individually, through personal choice/s), which even Christian fundamentalists cannot logically argue against. And that is how we arrive at the very correct and logical understanding that: Decisions Produce Consequences!

As with so many strongly-defended, so-called, sacrosanct tenets and beliefs of the major religions; in the case of global Christendom the terrible distortion here lies in the non-understanding of exactly what was originally set-in-train by Eve’s (humankind’s) serious act of disobedience. Thus, what was passed on through the generations to the present-day to be now puzzled over by ‘brain’ and obstetrics researchers.

The actual transgression, as we once more explain, was choosing to no longer follow the original spiritual path ordained for earthly humanity for all time. The sin is represented by the tasting of the forbidden fruit, i.e., the ‘falling away’ from the ordained spiritual path with the inevitable and thus subsequent over-strengthening of the worldly intellect.

The serpent in the story represents the insidious cunning of the Lucifer Principle of Temptation, which resulted in turning away and rejecting the once-strong “Spiritual connection” to our origins, to concentrate instead on things of the world via the earth-bound, aspiritual, intellect!

What became -- and actually still is -- the ‘hereditary aspect’, is hereditary solely because the over-stimulation, the over-strengthening, of the intellect resulted in an imbalance of the once equal-sized, harmoniously-active front and back brains --- the cerebrum and the cerebellum. Through millennia of over-cultivation of the “intellectual” brain, that consequently-developed far greater mass of the ‘large brain’ (the “frontal” brain) now almost completely fills the brain case. The other once-complementary “Spiritual part” -- now referred to as the ‘small brain’ -- is completely stunted through non-use. With each generation born, therefore, the intellectual part of the brain grew disproportionately larger.

Stimulated through more and more aspiritual ways and ideas, particularly in education, that continual development meant that the size and power of the intellectual part of the brain simply had to increase. The resultant and inevitable legacy is, quite logically, the enlarged brain case evident today! To coin a ‘today’ phrase, it is: --- “Enlarged to the max.”

We global participants of the totally aspiritual educational paradigm that has held sway for millennia -- but now at its greatest strength -- have passed on that aberration, hereditarily, to all successive generations in our individual genealogical lines. That very long process of intellectual ‘over-stimulation’ resulted in the need for more room in the cranium. Even though enlarging only minutely-incrementally over centuries, the resultant outcome is sufficient to force the question why from the scientific community of the present. Thus, all of humankind is now affected by wrong ideas and teachings, and our earthly home contaminated by that aspiritual poison.

So, until and unless there is an immediate and very massive fundamental shift in the educational ethos that the ruling university elite clings to, the most that can be expected from that quarter is more questions producing more research to try to answer the next lot of questions. Never the final answer! But it keeps those presently in control forever in control, doesn’t it?

THE “SPIRITUAL MISUSE” OF THE GIFT OF LANGUAGE

Now, we have said that “Language” played a serious part in our abnormal cranial development. That might seem to be drawing “too-long-a-bow”, but that is not the case at all. Whilst I think we have made a reasonable fist of explanations necessary to bring to you this “new” and crucially-vital” knowledge”; as with all other topics in this Work, the especial nature of this Discourse ultimately derives its illumination from The Living Word of The Grail Message of Imanuel/Abd-ru-shin!

The Two “Faces” of Language:
Spiritual and Non-Spiritual “Examples”

As probably the best example of the power of language to initiate sweeping change down through the centuries, we need look no further than to the Ministry of Jesus. Sent to earth to guide mankind back to knowledge of The Truth after the great “Spiritual Fall of Man”; in accordance with “The Law of Attraction...” -- He could only incarnate into a race that had developed sufficient Spiritual-insight to intuitively accept the reality of The One Invisible Creator.

So it was that Jesus was born, by Law, into the Jewish race; a people with the necessary level of spiritual development for that connection to be made. A people, moreover, whose law and language, through the admonitions of their many prophets, clearly echoed their recognition of A One God!

Aside from being totally pointless, a birth into any other race could not have been possible. Only a people with the requisite degree of even symbolic affinity or understanding could prepare the way for a Being from The Divine Realm to be incarnated on earth!

The language and spiritual form of the Torah basically provided the necessary “bridge of attraction”. The entry and purpose of Jesus on earth gave mankind a far different perspective of the Power of Language through His use of it in the purest, Spiritual way. His whole ministry was remarkable for the fact that He taught the Truth via the medium of the spoken word, not that of the written. Thus the “living power of language” is best illustrated in the manner in which Jesus spoke the Truth, and its resultant and undeniably powerful effect upon the world.

However, even that stupendous Event and help from Above still did not change man’s basic intransigence toward the pure Truth given at that time. The distortions and errors caused by the “playing with the language of the Truth” have caused great confusion, particularly among the numerous Christian denominations, especially in their many different interpretations of the same book --- the Bible.

What we on earth fail to take note of and understand is that the earthly words we speak are but a faint reflection of the Living Word of Creation, such as Jesus The Son of God uttered. His Words have the power to create “forms of Truth”, even today. How many millions of us over centuries, we wonder, have been helped out of serious physical and spiritual danger by desperately reciting “The Lord’s Prayer”? So many of us know that “it really helps”, don’t we --- and always to our great gratitude and relief, at least in that moment.

The Son of Man in His Grail Message helps us to understand why; for “in accordance with the Divine Law the Word is to build up. Wherever it does not obey this command it can only bring about the opposite”.

In a previous Discourse, did we not indict “entertainment” for using the gift of language in an increasingly-foul manner!

Another distortion, ultimately no less important than that of the words of Truth handed down to humankind, was that associated with the many and varied “gods of legend”. As we are very bluntly saying; through the unfortunate development of greater intellectual sophistry in the new peoples collectively, the original strong and natural connection to, and knowledge of, our Spiritual Origins became more and more clouded as the intellect grew disproportionately stronger.

The inevitable result saw spiritual man’s once secure ties to his Higher Origins virtually severed. And with it a particular and vital connection that was meant to be an ongoing and special help for his earthly activities for all the time of his earthly stay. That was the sure knowledge and thus Creation-Law reality of the “Nature Beings”, the “Elemental Forces of Nature”, whose names are found, virtually without exception, in the languages of all earth’s peoples.

The cutting away and eventual rejection of the reality of the “Elemental Forces of Nature” through the elevation of the intellect subsequently guaranteed that a huge gap of knowledge would develop in the historical narrative of the evolving journey of virtually all peoples. Some, though, would consciously retain this knowledge longer than others. In virtually every case, however, what was once sure and certain Truth, securely and knowingly embedded in the languages of the various peoples, eventually became relegated to the realm of uncertain myth and legend. Rather than being retained as clear knowledge, it was transposed into either “romanticised literature” of the culture of the particular race concerned or became stories to be feared. (Note the chart of the Nature Beings at the close of Discourse 19: The Law --- and Lore --- of Nature.)

Some of the more intellectual races, notably those from Western cultures, have virtually severed this connection totally, not even bothering to retain them as fables. The so-called more primitive or not-so-advanced races have at least retained a strong belief in the validity of their legends as possible truth. Unfortunately for Western Nations generally, their god of science has determined that such “notions” cannot possibly be entertained as belonging to a “rational, logical and intelligent” society. Interestingly, however, the main book of their religion, the Bible, speaks of them clearly enough. Thus, the relegation of what was once accepted as factual knowledge to the realm of myth and legend by “intellectual reasoning” was to our serious detriment, contributing to the aberrant development of the incrementally-enlarging frontal brain.

Notwithstanding this particular path, the many languages of the world’s various peoples still bear testimony to a time when man accepted the evidence of his factual experiences, and thus gave name to all that he knew existed in the Elemental World of Nature.

The rightful place of the intellect was and is to facilitate and assist man in the fulfilment of his earthly duties, which is why it is so vital for scientific endeavour and why it has produced technological marvels and great feats of construction. In those particular endeavours the language naturally provided the exact parameters by which this aspect of man also developed.

Thus: As ordained from the very beginning,: “The spirit was to lead and the intellect to assist”!
