I have lived, studied, meditated on, and worked with the contents here-in from the time of my conception. The inspiration for this article now is a pristine epiphany that, for me at least, the appearance of paradox in the attachment/detachment cycle is, just that--an appearance, only.
Hello. My name is Vicky Jeter, and for readers unfamiliar with my works, I am a Practitioner of Religious Science, in special training for pre- and perinatal influences on the experience of being human--that is to say any and all experience encompassed in the process of being conceived and born. What is it about being human that keeps us questing after "meaning" in order that we may feel validated in living more fully? Why is it that "The Chicken, or the Egg" question can have the capacity to captivate our powers of rationale no matter how many times we've heard it? Why do we often sense with that unexplaiable feeling that "the grass is greener on the other side of the hill?"
Impossible as it might seem, I'm beginning to sense that these questions are representative vehicles of the essence that sustains Life, itself--to ponder these, and similar questions is to dance with God.
In the beginning, God. Omnipresent source. According to Physics all forms and waves in the universe or known universes literally boil down to being of a unified energy substance. Necessarily then, at least in perceptual experience, becoming a form distinguishible from other forms is a process of detatchment, from unity to apparent individuality. So, in the process of conception into human experience this is the initial phase of moving from unity-attachment, to individuality-detachment. Correspondingly, on a biological level, two uniquely individual and independent living cells, the sperm and egg, are driven by a biological imperative to attach to each other, and conception occurs.
In this phase successful attachment of sperm to egg substantiates the dynamic existence of a new unified whole--as short as this independent unity may be independent within the mother-host's system. Yet, simultaneously, even as this dynamic process of two-becoming one unfolds, the next level of the imperative to attach emerges. For within a decisively limited window of time the fertalized egg must find its way to the uterine lining of the mother-host, and succeed in attaching, or die.
Thus, the independent life finding firm attachment settles into its uterine home firmly attached to the mother, and the mother's qualitative lifespace throughout gestation. Then, the onset of birth ushers in the next detachment cycle. The new baby must successfully detach from the womb and the umbilical cord with all bodily systems functioning independently to begin individual life on Earth.
But this is where really "getting" the ongoing necessities of this rythmical principle gets really interesting. Notice that with each previous detachment, successful attachment in through the next phase was an imperative--attach, or die.
