Discovering the Mind of the Prenate

In this 75 minute up date and companion program to
Babies Know More Than You Think - David B. Chamberlain, PhD explores the present state of pregnancy and birth in America. He describes how birthing practices have been influenced by Obstetrics rather than Obstetrics being shaped to meet the needs of babies, mothers and families. The key insight being explored in this very candid and compelling program is startling and transformative.

The Mind of The Prenate is Not Located In or Dependent on the Brain.

Very early in the program David explains why the mind of the baby is not in or dependent on the brain. He explains in detail how this insight transformed his life and practice in pre and perinatal psychology. It emerged from hundreds of hypnosis sessions with clients that described prenatal perceptions, feelings and experiences that were too early to be brain based. Nothing in the literature or his training in psychology explained this.

D: I didn’t know that people could remember birth so I just said go back to when you first felt this way. And they would go places like birth or into the womb and this was a total revelation to me. I had to in fact forget everything that I thought I knew about the mind of a baby, which I’d come to understand falsely in retrospect, from a science. It was an awkward position but inspiring because what I found out was that infants had amazing memory, and in terms of science there’s no way to explain it.

From this new, at least from our western material conditioning, perspective David has become one of the world's most respected and knowledgeable researchers and advocates for what he calls 'the real baby' rather than the 19th century hallucinated baby that conformed to the many false assumption about the brain and consciousness, that the brain of the baby was not sufficiently developed to feel, be aware of, learn from or remember what was being done to them.

D: In 20th Century science all memory was brain based. They thought you couldn’t have memory if you didn’t have all of your brain. They knew that all the brain wasn’t there at birth so they invented all their protocols around that assumption, that there was no brain working. But what I was compelled to accept was that memory is ageless and it has more to do with the non-material mind than it does with the material brain. This explained to me how it was always there when the brain wasn’t.

D: Because of this basic belief in science and psychology that there wasn’t enough brain power for babies to have any authentic emotion or much of any sensation, and no sense of pain, they were unrestrained in what they could do. What they turned out doing was in direct conflict with the actual baby.

David shares with painful clarity that everything that the baby experiences from conception forward matters. He reveals the myths that have lead to unnecessary, often painful and traumatic practices that have been imposed on babies for more than 100 years.

D: For 150 years after the discovery of ether anesthetic doctors went on doing major surgery on a baby because they deeply believed that the brain wasn’t there and baby’s wouldn’t remember what happened and wouldn’t actually feel it... They’re yelling. They’re rising. They’re acting like they’re being tortured.  They’re faces are grimaced and they’re tints they’re very uncomfortable.  But in spite of all the yelling and crying and screaming which is absolutely typical of the American way of birth, nobody was paying serious attention to this performance.

D: We’re back to the delusional thinking of the Obstetricians who are imaging a different baby then the one who’s right there. I think they’re hallucinating a baby more to their liking who submits to whatever they want to do.

What David shares will challenge and inspire you to rethink who you are, what this human life is really all about, that there are states of perception, awareness, learning and memory that are not dependent on matter.
We all began as babies and babies are aware, listening, feeling, and communicating before birth, perhaps even before conception.

D: I learned there was nothing gradual about it. Babies knew who they were from whenever I tap into their memory and eventually I had to cope with the fact it was not a developmental process I was looking at. What I realized that there was something there before the brain. It took me a while to name it but there was human awareness, a human consciousness, a human intelligence that was not accounted for by brain development.

Fascinating, compelling, thought provoking and challenging.
