Family-Imprinting can maintain chronic illnesses.

Why you may stay sick when you should be getting well.

PREFACE
The report below is a description of a family origin multiple imprinted set of behavior. To protect the right of the client to preserve her family privacy, her pseudonym of "Melva D" has been used.

You will find that several of the patterns may seem to be contradictory. This does create additional anxiety of the individual and does increase the confusion for and strain on the Reptilian Structure of the person. See the ENDNOTES to find pointers to assist you with detailing and coping with your own family imprint set.



INTRODUCTION.
Imprinting is described commonly in psychology texts as behavior learned by following the example of another living entity, usually another person or group of persons. Imprinting is NOT learning that is acquired through conscious involvement. It involves neither choice (rational) nor trauma (energy blocks).

Family imprinting develops when there are compulsive behaviors expressed by one or more members of the family. These compulsive behaviors may be the result of energy blocks. When these are accepted without discussion, instruction, or force --- the authority of the principal actor(s) is acknowledged. A Parent may traumatize their child by intensive expression that an activity be carried out without reference to its relevancy and immediately upon command.

Authoritarian 2-valued expectations and assumptions often lead to should-do behaviors which become more like must-do behaviors which encourage victimizing and imposing interactions which disrespect the rights of others and result in their being treated as objects rather than people. The end result is robotic reaction types of behaviors which reduce our ability to honestly and openly experience our emotions and apply them with self-directedness to acknowledge and encourage others and ourselves.

One's Reptilian Structure builds, maintains, and reacts according to patterns of behavior which have been associated with experiences, or, inherited as instinct. When a pattern is associated with a traumatic experience, we build an energy block. When the pattern is associated with consciously repetitive enactment, we call it rote learning ... a basis of our educational system. When the pattern is associated with experiences which we repeat by virtue of our presence and by exposure, we may be imprinted by another participant, or, by ourselves.

Spurious associations will be made, in some cases, by our Reptilian Structure in that they have been coincidental yet bear no rational cause-effect or intentional connection. When we experience long-term repetitions of similar experiences, we may unconsciously build an association which results in our expecting this pattern to repeat at the next opportunity. This form of pattern effectively sabotages our freedom of choice. It decides our form of participation in reality. It patterns our future.

Recovery is possible IF we can become consciously aware of this set of patterns, become compassionate and empathic to our Reptilian Structure, and encourage our Identity expressions to work together to acknowledge this as PAST and IRRELEVANT and that RELEASING the pattern as preferable. It is more effective and constructive to define the dynamic as RELEASING and BUILDING anew rather than CHANGING or exchanging patterns. This is because constructive patterns of interaction are rarely, and as simple as, reversing what we already have.

A PRESENT pattern based upon RELEVANT possibilities, we then encourage our Reptilian Structure to build. Imposing over-optimistic and idealistic expectations on a depressing self-imprinting pattern set of which we have no awareness will fail and only encourage increased despair within oneself and increased abandonment from those too proud to understand the reality. Help yourself and others. Know the possibilities.


1. One's duty is to never be satisfied!

The pattern as associated by the Reptilian Structure of Melva D included these:

     Conception to age 27
     Reactivated at age 45 when in a positive relationship.

This pattern mandated that Melva D's EGO always be anxious and stimulated, motivated by fear, an unconscious and non specific fear. This fear was associated to the fear of her mother, during her gestation and ever afterwards, that her husband during his aggressive outbursts with his intense expressiveness would hit her. This fear was realized 3 or 4 times early in their marriage.

The negative Pine (Regret, Forgiveness, Humility) spiritual principle describes the pattern well.

Intensity of expression often stimulates fear in others who are not compulsively intense. Normally, intense expressiveness only occurs during experiences of horror, violence, and sexual ecstasy. In a social sense, this expressiveness thus seldom is present without violence, or, the threat of violence. A raised voice, in anger, may accompany demands, threats, reaction to the threat of another, warnings of danger.

Persons who seem to be intense in their expressiveness most of the time usually have one or more energy blocks built upon a personal or inherited experience. The latter is gained when a foetus experiences the pattern through the mother, as stimulated by the mother's own experience, or, the mother's reflection of the father's experience in her presence.

In the family where Melva D grew up, her father and mother, in their search for a controlled acceptance, imposed perfectionism on their children. Depending upon their age and Basic Personality, each of the 3 children adapted to this environment of constant criticism and lack of acknowledgement. The second child and elder brother numbed out and withdrew from life and decision making. In exchange for a constant berating, he allowed his father to fundamentally run his life. There was little motivation to attempt anything for the outcome would be a predictable attack on him to reveal his weaknesses, incompetence, or, ability to consider other alternatives which his father defined as useless or stupid.

Melva D's personality was more aggressive and sexual (joining in) than that of her younger brothers. She was constantly criticized and constantly defended herself. This resulted in her continually being told how fortunate she was to be part of this family. Being aware of the dysfunctionality of this picture perfect family outside the home and in constant conflict and abusiveness within the home, she endeavoured for decades to try and release her constant sense of fear, defensiveness, anxiety, and depression.

This pattern defined the PURPOSE of Melva D to be one of constant dissatisfaction. This often is represented as PERFECTIONISM, although this is not the only source of such attitudes and behavior. A perfectionist is self sabotaging for no one is perfect so nothing will ever be good enough for acceptance, including themselves. This constant sense of fear encourages one's pH acid/alkaline balance to become lower (more acidic).

FEAR lowers the pH of a person, leaving them more acidic.

2. Chaos is equal to life..

Chaos was the atmosphere which governed the parental home of Melva D from well before her conception until after the time she determined these patterns, at the age of 46. This was an environment in which there was toxic shame from always being held accountable for the human inability to clone and mirror every thought, expectation, and emotion of her father. Her mother also demanded the same mirroring response even though she frequently held opposing perceptions and values to that of her husband. The world was a set of extremes with the mission of the child to try and determine what to say and do at which times in order to try and avoid punishment. One could never find a harmony of awareness, peace, and justice.

The negative White Chestnut (tranquility & Discernment) spiritual principle describes the pattern well.

How can it be Just to never acknowledge and respect the talents and perceptions of another person? How can one accept one's awareness of reality when one is constantly told that their perceptions are wrong unless they match those of an authority, her father, whose position is accepted by others as a means of avoiding his wrath? Reality becomes a set of inconsistent images viewed through a magnifying glass. Confusion reigns. To preserve one's sanity one might simply accept as real whatever nonsense the selfish and self-centered authority present mandates. But not Melva D.

The mother of Melva D became the verbal spokesperson for her husband, who was often absent. Often, almost predictable, a person who is abused by an older or more powerful person and has no means of defence, no ability to be assertive, no opportunity to be heard and to participate and negotiate an outcome --- will typically take any opportunity that arises to mirror such abusiveness upon those who are inferior to themselves in age and power. This totalitarian family abuse pattern is well know. Father abuses mother. Mother abuses the children. Male children abuse the female children. Older children abuse the younger children. Much of this happened here also. Father was the authoritarian figure whose position was so acknowledged that a look of disapproval was worse than a scathing verbal discipline or a harsh physical slapping, spanking, or beating.

PASSION, AGGRESSIVENESS, JUSTICE, and SEXUALITY (joining in, helping others) together with a strong will were some of the Basic Personality strengths of Melva D. Wrongs had to be corrected, perceptions had to be felt, and abuses had to be addressed. Yet this would prove to be a no-win situation in which Melva D would always be anxious, stimulated, and aggressive in the company of her parents. Her mother demanded that she be a quiet and subservient girl. Her father expected that she be a loud and gregarious girl, a mirror of the genetic image he saw himself to represent.

The Reptilian Structure of Melva D built this association of recurrent and continual reality of rejection into an unconscious pattern: what had been experienced in the womb and through the first 18 years of daily family life was NORMAL. She would adopt, in imprinted fashion, the reality which she was constantly exposed to and mandated to affirm. Anything less was to invite not only rejection, but also the real possibility of violence and ostracism. A Basic Personality can be twisted and hidden beneath imprinted behaviors.

NORMAL as CHAOS became an imprinted pattern of everyday family life from Melva D's birth until she left home, and then, reactivated after the birth of her first child. Once the image was completed of motherhood in her new marriage, it was an automatic reaction of her Reptilian Structure to restructure the family dynamics. This restructuring of relationships often occurs when individuals take on new roles.

Role change is often a time for culturally imprinted behavior and attitude exchange. Single people may reactively adopt new patterns of behavior and expectation, the day after their marriage, or, the honeymoon. Irresponsible individuals may become responsible and protective spouses. Later, an egalitarian spouse may morf into a totalitarian parent. In many of these instances, the transformation is automatic and not self-chosen. In a few, the change may be the result of new traumas and energy blocks. Authoritarian and fascist cultures tend to support the change. Often, it is supported by the parents of the transformed spouse. It is either adapted to by the alternate spouse, or, CHAOS reigns.

After releasing her Energy Blocks, Melva D gained a new control and awareness over her life. She came to accept her own perceptions and beliefs and to see the destructiveness of the imprinted family dynamics on her own marriage and children. She developed an awareness that while she HAD been accessing Spiritual Guidance, her accuracy had at best been about 44%. This had been frustrated by the negative expression of Spiritual Principles necessitated by her energy blocks and imprinting. Without energy blocks she had a choice to make changes in her behavior and her family dynamics. Changing imprinting would be much more laborious. Energy blocks can be released. Imprinting must be acknowledged and consciously changed by a repetition of more positive behaviors.

Imprinting is changed by consistently choosing a new pattern and acting on it in the same or similar relationship. One does not consciously simply read a poem for the first time and automatically commit it to memory. Repetition is required so that one's Reptilian Structure becomes familiar with the pattern of the words and can build reminders to phrases and sequences based upon key or trigger words and associations. The same is true of other imprinted pattern changes. ALL of the environment must change or the old pattern will constantly be encouraged by the reminders offered by the other and unchanged participants. This makes imprinted and acted upon for decades family patterns very difficult to change.

Melva D had a marriage of 20 years and two children in their teens. She had chosen to be an at-home mother for much of that period. In a more recent 3 year period, she had trained and attempted to enter several health service occupations, without success. A full-time away-from-home job conflicted with the energy block pattern she carried that the best mothers were those who stayed at home, like her mother, had been forced to do. Her father, with his great pride and his great insecurity of self, had insisted that her mother stay at home, even after the children had left. For him, a working mother or wife would be an embarrassment -- a suggestion that he was not man enough to earn enough to provide for his family.

Melva D had imprinted her own spouse for 20 years, and a lifetime for her children, with "daily life as chaos". There was always too much to do to spend quality time with spouse or children. While they were home, and some of the time while they were away, there was always much to occupy and distract her. Work that might often be done weekly in some other homes had to be done daily in hers. Her mother had repeatedly threatened her as a child and teenager that when she married her house would be dirty and bug infested as a way of chastising her for not doing these chores willingly in the parental home. Now, laundry, floor washing, grocery shopping, home furnishing and clothing shopping, volunteering, and extensive cookery that rivaled the creations of the better restaurants soaked up the hours and proved her right to acceptance as the best of moms. The materialistic ideal of the authoritarian picture of a family was met.

Attempting to express some of her Basic Personality, Melva D did something her mother never did. She acted on a need to join in and be part of the community. She sought ways to volunteer for involvement at schools and other service institutions. This only stretched her time and energy more and included car pooling the children to school and social activities. Unable to meet her perfectionist standards, imprinted by the constant toxic shame of her mother, she hated herself for doing such a poor job. This added to the constant chatter in her mind that soaked up energy, induced paranoia, intensified her level of chronic anxiety and physical tension, and demanded an acute interest in health.

In the personal and emotional behind-the-scenes reality, Melva D ran her family like a sergeant runs his troops. There was always something to be done better. She resisted the constant toxic shame replication onto her children and spouse that had been heaped on her for her early decades. Some found its mark. Enough to traumatize her spouse and children with energy blocks of abandonment, even as she had been.

To lessen the damage, Melva D split her demands for perfectionism from her family and took much back onto herself. She did as much as she could for her children. What other children usually learn to do for themselves, she did. Her AGGRESSIVENESS exchanged one error for two, dividing an imprinted imbalance into two very separate expressions and ensuring, unconsciously, a confusion of chaos.

The unending conflict of family life experienced by Melva D as a child was now translated into melded conflict and co-dependency. Her children NEEDED her to look after their every need and want. Her more passive and sensitive child learned to accept all and bury his self-expressiveness. This would develop into a pattern of lack of self-direction and depression seeking many distractions. Her more aggressive child rebelled against the confinement of identity she felt from her mother, even as Melva D had from her own mother. Building energy blocks of abandonment from her mother's constant inability to acknowledge her as an individual with different perceptions and feelings, the daughter developed a pattern of continually acting out in her endless search for the acceptance she felt had been withheld from her.

In the realization of the above realities, Melva D now chose to change this destructive reality in the only practical and possible way. With great emotional turmoil and grief, she separated from her family and her parents and moved away to train into an occupation in another country. She remained long enough to ease her family into the awareness of her leaving. This prevented abandonment energy blocks from being built by her spouse and children, as would have been the case with a more sudden departure. She returned home to visit periodically from her job and maintained contact by e-mail and phone as much or more then they indicated a desire to have.

This family imprinted pattern would NOT change as long as all of the participants were present. Even though the patterns were destructive, they were friendly, known, easy, expected, automatic habits. The simple presence of a person could be a trigger. Gradual and healthy change can only happen in such circumstances when the principal player is removed. As long as they are present, everyone else takes their cue from them and they are triggered by everyone else. Melva D WAS the principal player. She had actively, yet unconsciously, and while attempting restraint and change, constructed the pattern. Her husband had accepted it rather than conflict continually with it. Children have no choice but to adapt. To change the PRESENT, Melva D had to leave the PAST behind and build a new FUTURE for her and her family.

Outside of the old pattern, Melva D had the opportunity to expose herself to a more positive pattern and a choice to reinforce that pattern through daily experience. From a distance, it was more effective to introduce this new pattern to her husband and children in such a manner that it would be less triggered by reactionary presence. Communicating by e-mail and phone, she could reflect on and plan her communication with Spiritual Guidance. What would she talk about? What would she avoid? How would she phrase it? What thinking style was her audience? When would she call? How often would she call? Answers to all of these enabled Spiritual Guidance to provide the mentoring that could effectively build awareness in herself and more positive interacting patterns in herself.

A new life of self-sufficiency apart from all of the dependencies and inter-dependencies of the past would be quite a challenge for Melva D. Living in a new country half way around the world and being involved in a new culture which was radically egalitarian stood apart from the ritualistic authoritarian ethnocentric family culture she had been raised in. It would present her with freedom, and, many new challenges to open her mind and perceptions. Working with a group of others who began largely as strangers to her would be quite different from the largely independent and insular existence she had led as commander of a small family living apart from her parents. She would broach many changes and constantly increase her awareness.

When would the new pattern of egalitarian relationship and interactiveness become threatened to regress back into the original and longer-term pattern of chaos = life. Only when many of the other of these 5 patterns would be associated with the PRESENT by her Reptilian Structure. When it seemed certain that a new home away from the home she had never moved from in 20 years might soon be found, when she felt secure beside a loving partner through the night, and, when the changes in her employment location seemed to be coming to an end -- her Reptilian Structure would associate all of these with a need to return to the PAST and its experience of the past as NORMAL. All this calm, security and happiness was abnormal!

AGGRESSIVENESS raise the pH of a person, making them more alkaline.

3. Unhealthy to go to the bathroom
away from "Home".

From before the age of 2 years and until she left her parental home after the age of 18, Melva D was strongly discouraged from going to the bathroom until they were back home. Public washrooms were to be abhorred as dirty and contagion rampant. Washrooms at the homes of friends and relatives were to be avoided also for her mother feared the emotional disgust if her attention should be brought to the washroom inadequacies of other children. These were never communicated to her children. In a confusing and imposing manner, the mother of Melva D simply prevented or discouraged such actions. Good people waited and used their own bathrooms.

Her mother also feared the possibility of her children noticing something or finding something in the bathrooms of friends or relatives which would raise questions of a sexual nature. Would her sons find new or used menstrual pads or tampons held in reserve in a bathroom or discarded into an open wastebasket, as she had? Would they question her about the douching equipment or enema syringes they might see, as she had seen? Better to keep them safe in cleanliness and keep her safe from embarrassment in their ignorance. At home, they would only see what mother did not hide from them. These also were unwritten and unspoken laws of exclusion which everyone, including the children, were expected to know. Why was it so? It just was. No explanations. Stop asking questions and do as you are told!

This pattern of fear of being in an environment apart from that of one's home developed into an unconscious anxiety about changes in one's environment. As long as nothing changed, one could relax, in the sense of bathroom practices and excretion. As you may imagine, asking a child to retain their urine when their bladder is full until they get home will, at some point develop into a traumatic experience. Either great pain and a sense of terrorizing urgency will prevail, or, one will have a "bathroom accident" and shame themselves in public. Eventually such traumas will build energy blocks to reinforce the imprinting. If the blocks are released, the imprinting will remain.

Fear tightens the abdominal and other muscles, slows the digestion, widens the eyes in alertness, and, heightens the intellect to search for symbols of threat in the surroundings. The hyperactive intellect produces the super-rational emotionally insular person who often has a higher-than average IQ with greater-than-average interpersonal frustrations. Some people estimate that half of our higher intellect persons have survived traumatic childhoods to end up in jail. Assumed conflict provides a perceived environment of danger. This encourages constant mental tension with a dialogue of endless inner questions and rationalizations. Melva D would be plagued for much of her life up to the age of 45 with this constant inner dialogue of distraction and gentle paranoia.

When Melva D set off away from home and family without her energy blocks, she still carried with her several decades of imprinting reinforced by a further several decades of adherence. During her married life, many of her departures from home were short visits to stores for shopping, to appointments with doctors or therapists, and for walks. Longer visits took her to friends and family. Now, she again left her temporary homes, be they monthly rentals or day-to-day accommodations in connection with her training and occupation. The old pattern remained intermintently active even after her supporting hidden blocks were released. By then, regular elimination practices were gradually deteriorating as the reality of many delays in reaching a longer-term or permanent residence continued. This would be contradictory to a separate pattern described below.

Constipation developed of the nature that the illeocecal valve controlling the flow of digestive waste between the small intestine and the colon became closed longer than was healthy. Without the small intestine emptying, there was nothing to empty from the colon. As waste accumulated for longer periods, the body of Melva D became increasingly toxic. This would bring to the surface tendencies toward illness which had festered in the background, some as early as age 8, and make them real. With blocked intestines, Melva D would become subject to tiredness, anxiety, irritability, periods of fogged brain function, weight gain, susceptibility to fungal illnesses, bacterial infections and other parasite (pinworm, hookworm, virus) reactivation.

What brought this destructive pattern into prominence was a continual delay in her doing her job effectively. Part of this was due to the continual coaching and mentoring she required in order to understand and cope with her other imprinted patterns, the changes to be made away from her energy block and imprinting supported older lifestyle, the release of her hidden blocks, and the maintenance of her communication with family, relatives, and friends from a distance.

The sometimes dramatic changes that accompanied her training also contributed to this frustration. The location of her training overseas changed several times before completion. Near the end of the training, there was considerable change and confusion over which job she would take and in which country it would be. Jobs that were engaged in sometimes failed and had to be left for the potential employer proved to be unprepared for her services. A job applied for could not be taken at the last minute, while enroute, due to political difficulties. A critical meeting with potential associates failed to materialize when the newcomers became lost and could not be contacted. Locations to settle in became erratic and unpredictable when a regional fire eliminated promised lodging just before her arrival. Other potential lodgings in still other locations proved to be unavailable by owner choice or other factors that proved disadvantageous.

For the Reptilian Structure of Melva D, this string of location changes suggested a consistency of being away-from-home, away-from-the-familiar. Increasingly, the operation of her illeocecal valve would become more and more undependable and her constipation more and more chronic. Measures would have to be taken to eliminate the hookworms and pinworms that became diagnosed. Hypnosis would be used to reduce the imprinting influence. A new and similar pattern of illeocecal valve disturbance would be built by her Reptilian Structure. The original pattern had been put in place to signify a fear of change in the environment. This was now reactivated by her Reptilian Structure to address its concern with an inability to present a reality of a long-term environment.

FEAR lowers the pH of a person, leaving them more acidic.

4. Night Fear and Anxiety

From the age of 3 months, the mother of Melva D imposed bathroom restrictions on her which were humanly impossible at that age. Her father's father had been exposed to the household totalitarian child rearing philosophy of the German educator, Dr. Daniel Gottlieb Moritz Schreber. Certainly, if a person was educated in European or British schools during the period of 1885 - 1970, there would be a good likelihood of their indoctrination with this most abusive parenting model. Others would hear of the principles through conversations on parenting. It would be the "sophisticated" and elitist direction. Poor people who aspire to greatness are often deceived by such fads. The mother of Melva D, mirroring the beliefs of her husband, and the imprinting of her own childhood experiences, treated Melva D as if she were a self-disciplined adult.

The negative Aspen (Fearlessness, Overcoming, Resurrection, Confidence) spiritual principle describes the pattern well. A close identification with her mother, and an inability to separate herself from the perceptions and beliefs of her mother, contributed to Melva D expecting to experience everything as her mother would.

Childish behavior and child-like communication and perceptions from children were not to be tolerated. The mother of Melva D resented that the time she could spend with her husband was often minimized to their bedroom hours. During the day he worked long hours in the construction trade. In the evening, personal and private time was further minimized by the sharing of their residence with a close relationship couple who the father had sponsored from their native southern European nation to their new home in Canada.

Newly married before their departure, the mother of Melva D had expected and wanted to have a private and personal life with her husband before the arrival of children. She had not expected that her household would have to be shared with close relatives. To maintain her dignity and hide her self-consuming negativity, she put on a friendly face in public and exploded on her husband in private. The children had her attention during the day. That should be enough!

The fact that Melva D cried most of the time for the first 18 months attests to the poor parenting skills of her parents. Taken to the doctor in an attempt to determine the cause of her persistent crying, she was repeatedly assessed as normal and healthy. Abandonment was the sum total of the reasons. The parents of Melva D had not wanted to start a family until their 4th year of marriage.

With the poor birth control methods utilized in their native culture, accidental births happened. The most common form of birth control was coitus interruptus which meant that the male withdrew from the woman at the point when he felt he was about to ejaculate. If the male was suitably aroused, a few drops of semen might drip out before the ejaculation. If the woman was suitably aroused, her vaginal contractions during orgasm might be sufficient to assist any present sperm up into the womb. This only needs to happen once, and, it did.

Melva D was conceived in the orgiastic pleasures of love. She was also conceived to parents who least wanted a child, perhaps 3 years too soon for their liking. It was 3 months of relative calm before the mother of Melva D knew she was pregnant. For the next 4-1/2 months there was great turmoil and anxiety in the family. The sister and her husband of Melva D's father were coming to live with them until they could get settled. The parents of Melva D reacted differently to her approaching birth. Her father, an attentive and motherly male, rejoiced unconsciously, as gender insecure men do, that his male prowess would be heralded and displayed by his fatherhood. Her mother, alternatively, hated the thought of early motherhood, further separation from her husband, greater responsibility and more work to do than she would ever have chosen if there had been such a choice.

A foetus can tell if the mother who carries it wants it. Melva D was confused. Her conception had been in a moment of bliss. Calm had followed for 3 months. Then, the environment had turned emotionally and physically toxic for a further 4-1/2 months. During the last 1-1/2 months of pregnancy, the mother of Melva D warmed to her arrival as family and friends acknowledged her new state and role. Her husband abandoned her more for his work with the intent of making and saving more money to assist with the expected increase in expenses following the birth. In private, the mother of Melva D was a cauldron of negative emotions. In public, she became the picture of a loving expectant mother. This roller coaster ride of emotions was the sea in which Melva D floated --- a sea beset by calm and sudden storm, again, and again, and again.

Having already built abandonment energy blocks in the womb, Melva D was born confused. She desperately wanted to be held and loved by her mother, yet, she could not tolerate the negative spiritual feeling which radiated from her mother. Her mother was angry with her husband's relatives for their interfering presence in her marriage. She was angry with her husband for his macho pride in fatherhood. She was angry with herself for her somehow finding herself in this mess. She was angry at Melva D for demanding attention of her when she herself demanded attention in her state of emotional immaturity. Yet there were also times when she was to display Melva D as her claim to social acceptance and femininity. Melva D became a child to be tolerated rather than loved, to be displayed rather than held, to be carried rather than cuddled. Melva D cried from a sense of persistent heartache.

As we began, Melva D was expected to assume a convenient timetable at the earliest convenience. Changing diapers in the middle of the night was not a ladylike activity. It disturbed her sleep and tore her away from the side of her husband. Repeatedly, she scolded the infant for her normal nightly schedule of feeding and excreting. The rationalization was made that if the infant was left unfed during the night, her need to urinate and defecate would be delayed until after her morning feeding.

Infants are human, not machines, nor adults. Until perhaps an age of 9 months, they have little control over their anal and urinary sphincter valves, which allow us to retain our waste products until a chosen time, or, until the bladder and colon become filled. For 6 months, Melva D suffered a continuing barrage of insults and rejections from her mother for doing what all babies do ... eat, excrete. Abandonment was further alternately imposed and removed. Melva D cried.

The imprinted result to this tragedy was that the Reptilian Structure of Melva D learned that to use the bathroom at night was a severe negative behavior worthy of rejection. With urine and faeces retained too long, she experienced both pain and toxicity. Headaches are a normal response to a blocked intestine as toxins build in the blood. Retention of these products demands constant pelvic tension. Toxicity, pain, and a need to eliminate contributed to disturbed sleep.

Constant FEAR of Rejection lowers the pH of a person.

5. Regular cost is wasteful.

Coming from a materially poor family, the mother of Melva D constantly acted on the principle that if you could find something to buy that was on sale, at a discount, or for a clearance price --- it was always preferable to paying the regular or recommended retail price. In this case, her husband completely respected her position and not only adopted it but lived it to sometimes tragic outcomes.

The mother of Melva D had been born into a culture in southern Europe during the 1930s. A global economic recession was present. With many brothers and sisters, the mother of Melva D, as a child, was lent out by her family to another family with more resources to essentially work as slave labor in return for food only. Her experiences were harsh and she lost her childhood to long hours of cooking, cleaning, and other laborious duties. Money was always nearly non-existent so what was gained was spent as if one were trading diamonds away.

There are many valid reasons why a retailer may discount the price of the items they sell. Some are these:

  1. the pricing has been set in error;
  2. the retailer wants to attract customers by a loss-leader;
  3. there is considerable competition in the region;
  4. it is near or past the likely spoilage date;
  5. the clothing is in a difficult to fit size;
  6. the clothing is substandard in workmanship;
  7. the clothing style is out of date.

Purchasing a discount priced item may represent good quality for a lower-than-usual price, poor quality for an exorbitant price, or, poor quality for a relevant price. What may LOOK like a good price may later prove to be a loss if the item purchased cannot be returned (often), and, is defective. At the age of 32 months, Melva D suffered a life threatening gastrointestinal illness from food which had been purchased at a low market price. She was rushed to the hospital and put into isolation, connected to an intravenous feeding line. To stabilize her movements and protect her from falling from the cot she was placed on, her hands and legs were strapped down tightly.

For a child with abandonment blocks built while in the womb, Melva D, now searched for her parents everywhere and wanted to be held and shown attention and acknowledgement. She cried for long hours in an effort to bring a known face and comforting hands to her aid. The nurse on duty became frustrated with the constant crying, and, when in the room, would walk by Melva D and slap her feet while exclaiming "Shut up!" This verbal abandonment only resulted in more crying. A child will not understand new situations and new environments unless a known mentor and respected authority conveys to them the significancy and relevancy of their experience. No such support was provided here.

The Reptilian Structure of a small child will not cope well with dramatic experiences of change, unless, its Ego and SuperEgo Identity team members can support it with calm and confidence. As conscious components, they must be given the knowledge to understand, or, there will be enough rationalizations based on fear available that the true significance of a factor is completely overlooked.

A small child is accustomed to drinking frequently during the day. Melva D became thirstier and thirstier as nothing was administered orally. Eventually, she would become traumatized by the seemingly endless thirst and build an energy block which would pattern her to constantly drink daily excesses of water. Too much water intake can leach needed nutritional requirements from one's body.

On returning home, Melva D was supersensitive to any sounds of running water. She had a thirst to satisfy that was insatiable. Whenever a tap was turned on, the toilet was flushed, or a liquid poured -- Melva D would cry out as if asking for some of the water, or, complaining that it was being wasted. Her parents never really made the connection between her obsession with water and the hospital experience.

For months, she would cry, daily reliving the water starvation she had experienced. For those same months, her mother would be confused and annoyed that her bad child seemed to be crying for nothing more than attention, or, even more simply, for nothing. Concern and ignorance is a frustrating combination for parenting. A lack of acknowledgement and emotional support for a young child encourages the child to feel rejected and guilty. What have they done to be treated with such torturous penalties?

There are four components to this pattern.
First, how could Melva D ever TRUST those who were close to her? For days and days and days she had asked for water in the only way she knew. For days and days, she was told that she had enough, or, she was ignored. The equation was: People who love you and care for you don't respect your needs or wishes.

The result was to constantly question and dispute anything that anyone might state she wanted, or needed, or should have. If they deceived her before, they would deceive her again. How could she not know what she wanted? Never trust anyone who say they know what you want or what you are feeling. To do so is to set aside one's own self-knowledge. This reactive aggressiveness would raise the pH balance of Melva D to become more alkaline making her less receptive to illness.


Secondly, CONSTANT AGGRESSIVENESS prevailed in the company of Melva D. To counter the negative and erroneous assumptions and expectations of her family members, she would have to continually express herself dramatically and forcefully and in defence. Her unconscious motivation was to bargain for the truth to be recognized and acknowledged. Often, in a war, one never truly knows who they can trust if their life hangs in the balance. Never get out of the boat!

Never leave the security of what you know in exchange for the risks of those opportunities which others describe as best for you. How do THEY know what is best for you. You must make the decisions, or, they will be made for you. You must be the negotiator. Only YOU can find out through your personal experience if there is an item you can buy for a lower cost, for a lower sacrifice. This reactive aggressiveness would also raise the pH balance of Melva D to become more alkaline making her less receptive to illness.


Thirdly, CONSTANT ANARCHY prevailed in the life of Melva D in her parental home. Her father, like an adult stuck at the emotional level of a 2-year-old, demanded attention and acceptance. When his intensity of expression did not mandate his authority, he might threaten violence, or, threaten ostracism by exclusion from his estate will. Her mother, like an immature SuperEgo constantly tried to make the PRESENT a form of the PAST to be coped with.

As a child, she had been abused and had to work compulsively under threat. Surely the best she could do for her daughter was to prepare her for such a life to come ... even though they now lived in a different culture, nation, political system, and economic time. Everyone demanded attention: father, mother, and Melva D. Everyone talked and yelled persistently. Was anyone listening?


The fourth factor was CONSTANT CONFLICT.
At times, her father would acknowledge, encourage and accept his daughter as a mirror of his own Personality traits of aggressiveness, independence, and gregariousness. Conversely, when her Personality strengths of justice (respect for the differences of others) and truth were expressed, he would threaten rejection. How dare she speak of such matters. He knew better. Anyone who did not share his views was ignorant and immoral.

Her mother, in order to be acknowledged as a separate identity, took her interaction cue from her husband. She wanted Melva D to be anonymous, contributing, and passive -- like she had been forced to be when she worked as a child domestic slave. If Melva would only accept this reality and mirror her mother, her mother would accept her. Jealous of her husband's attention for Melva, she tried to find fault with all that Melva represented. With both parents present, one could be acknowledged and rejected at the same time. AGGRESSIVENESS and DEFENSIVENESS raised the pH balance of Melva D. FEARFULNESS of rejection and disownment adds an acidic component by lowering the pH. The eventual pH change would depend upon the dynamics expressed and the degree to which one countered the other.

The discernment of QUALITY was often lost to the oft-fantasy expectation that one could always find whatever you wanted, or get whatever you wanted --- for less money than the seller wanted for it. Errors extending from this could be, and almost were fatal by times. At other times they led to losses. The father would later own an apartment building. Through his lack of empathy for the tenants, only emergency repairs were done and the building dropped in value and attraction. An inability to maintain a degree of quality in the product led to poorer tenants populating it who cared little for its cleanliness or attractiveness. A good building became a dump that would eventually require extensive renovation to bring it up to modern standards and be worthy of bringing in much higher and more relevant rents from more dependable tenants.

Quality of relationships had often been sacrificed by the parents of Melva D and later by herself. Taking the time to closely listen to their spouse and children, to provide encouragement and acknowledgement, to provide feedback and empathy --- was often exchanged for how many activities could be accomplished, how many possessions could be acquired, how much conflict and anarchy could be expressed.

It can be a fine balance between what needs to be done and what can be done together. Joining in and sharing in the PRESENT builds stronger relationships for the FUTURE. A constant expression of one's independence eliminates the participation of others in the PRESENT and often results in their withdrawal from access and participation in the FUTURE. Sometimes, cutting corners can cut the heart of another and result in abandonment from those you most expect to be close to you.

OVERALL: Barometer of pH values.

Reptilian Structure associated the above patterns into a set in line with the pH balance it had experienced in the birth environment. A healthy pH level for Melva D would have been 7.15 in November, 2003. The reality was Reptilian Structure was attempting to maintain a pH level of 6.9, substantially more acidic and encouraging the development of illness.

The negative Vine (Authority & Ability to Carry Convictions) spiritual principle describes the pattern well.

During her time in the parental home, the pH level of Melva D had been maintained lower than was supportive of good health. With the arrival of children, and particularly between the ages of 28 and 43, the patterns of conflict and anarchy that developed and were encouraged resulted in pH levels for Melva D that ranged from 6.1 to 6.75. The old patterns of behavior from her parental home experience were unnecessary.

In November 2003, Melva D began to experience a sense of chronic rejection, or separation, from the NORMAL she had experienced for most of her life. This revived the above 5 patterns to reduce her pH level which had risen in positive circumstances to a healthier level which conflicted with the unhealthy NORMAL level which Reptilian Structure recalled from the first 27 years of her life.

A feeling of rejection resulted in the illeocecal valve of Melva D staying closed long enough for the contents of her small intestine to become contaminated with toxins. This lowered pH of acidity encouraged bacteria and fungal mutations and cell destructiveness and contamination as well as outbreaks of viruses.

Unless this newly acquired pattern of imprinted associations was broken, the toxicity which her own body now held onto WOULD kill her, regardless of the accuracy and efforts to detoxify and rebuild her health.


This example of a composite of strongly imprinted patterns into a future expectation provide you with an awareness of the complexity and potential extensiveness of such a pattern. It demonstrates how the physical Reptilian Structure brain of an individual can sabotage its own existence. It enables you to understand why perhaps as many as 12% of humanity may eventually build a "return to the past" reaction which acts completely beyond their conscious awareness and control.

You may wish to call it a "commitment to security", yet the reality is that when one's Reptilian Structure no longer cares to adopt new and constructive patterns due to its lack of support by aware and positive Ego and SuperEgo helpers. More conflict, unhappiness, and destructive influence is about to reappear. The end of physical life is nearby.

You now have a template of what you might be best to do if you discover that you, or a friend, have a similar pattern.

Breaking the spell.
The spell of potentially never recovering from a chronic illness experience and of death developed when the Reptilian Structure of Melva D associated the 5 + 1 pattern of imprinting above into a desire to return to its previous association of NORMALITY = a low pH value. This is also the potential of having to return to the destructive behavioral patterns of the PAST in order to stay alive, yet unhealthy. STRONG imprinting is difficult to change. Never fault someone for trying and failing. If YOU are not helping them, you cannot imagine the frustrations and challenges.

For 45 years Melva D had lived a life during which her Reptilian Structure had come to associate a lower than healthy pH acid-alkaline balance (more acidic) as NORMAL. Now it was entering a new environment in which a balance higher than this, and healthier, was near. For the first time since leaving the chaos of her parental and spousal homes, there was a real possibility of living and working for longer than a month in a large and pleasant house as well as in a constructive and loving relationship. The external environment was never very hot or cold and the location was private and quiet. Melva D had never lived such a lifestyle before. Her Reptilian Structure could only translate this as UNHEALTHY.

In an effort to reinstate the PAST acid-alkaline balance that it had known all of its previous life, the Reptilian Structure of Melva D could not effectively mandate the patterns of the PAST. To have Melva D never admit satisfaction would not be allowed by her partner. He would quickly point out this negativity and together they would find the appropriate Spiritual Principle for her to study at that time. Melva D was able to be aggressive and assertive in her new lifestyle.

Indeed, the Spiritual Guidance she received enabled her to be assertive and constructive in her phone calls and e-mails to family members. Being with an assertive partner also made this easier. Conflict could not be maintained as both Melva D and her new partner wanted disputes, disagreements, and misunderstandings resolved as soon as possible. Sexual expression between the pair had been quite positive until now so there was little expectation of a change.

Disturbing the function of the illeocecal valve, which controls the flow of digestive material between the small and large intestine (colon) was initiated by the Reptilian Structure of Melva D. Unable to release the contents of her small intestine into her colon, toxins could not be excreted. Detoxing increased the concentration of toxins. This resulted in continuing symptoms of health distress (fatigue) and required large amounts of supplements. Her acid-alkaline balance once again began to fall. This would provide an opportune intestinal and systemic environment for pinworms, hookworms, fungi, and viral outbreak.

Unless this newly acquired pattern of imprinted associations was broken, the toxicity which her own body now held onto WOULD kill her, regardless of the accuracy and efforts to detoxify and rebuild her health.

The first step in changing this destructive pattern was to become aware that even though she followed her Spiritual Guidance with imperative according to supplement requirements, activities, involvements, and therapies -- something was wrong because a constant improvement towards full health now was absent. Staying in limbo was NOT a constructive alternative. Without improvement, she would die!

The second step was to find the pattern that Reptilian Structure was acting on. It was NOT energy block associated. It was not associated to the chronic influence of poisons because these had been found and finally excreted.

Melva D had worked extensively with me to release all of her energy blocks, her hidden blocks, her more direct imprinted patterns, and rebuild her communication patterns. She had requested my confirmation of her access to Spiritual Guidance frequently and consistently and had been able to discover many of the distractions which lessened her accuracy. Over a longer period of time her accuracy had grown greatly and her awareness of positive Spiritual Principles and that the influence of negative expressions could be tragic.

The third step was for me to piece together the 5 +1 imprinted patterns with Spiritual Guidance and define them more clearly. A conscious awareness of their meaning to her Reptilian Structure added to an awareness of how Reptilian Structure functioned enabling her to build the reality into an understandable entity. It was imperative to understand here that no degree of conscious rationalization or desire to change this pattern will influence Reptilian Structure in a constructive manner.

The fourth step was to repeatedly influence Reptilian Structure by reviewing the pattern consciously 4 times a day and reframing it consciously to show its irrelevancy. Added to this were affirmations which she obtained from Spiritual Guidance and of personal relevancy for her Identity perspectives. These she printed onto small colored sticky notes which she arranged on her bathroom mirror for repetitive reminders during the day. As she was working from home at this point, these reminders would be regular and repetitive throughout her day. They included these:

    Reptilian Structure focus (on mauve colored paper)
    • Health is Balance
    • Eliminating toxins is Healthy
    • Listening is Healthy
    • Eliminating saves Resources & Energy
    • Working together is Harmony
    • Harmony is Healthy
    • Health is Security
    EGO Personal Values focus (on yellow colored paper)
    • I am myself
    • Eliminating is Healthy
    • Working together means Harmony
    • We are getting healthier day by day
    • We are releasing old Destructive Patterns
    • We are building New Constructive Patterns
    • Health means more Food Choices
    SuperEgo Social Standards focus (on medium blue colored paper)
    • My family is Not me
    • I am Not my Mother
    • Calm is Healthy
    • Joining in is Healthy
    • Eliminating is Releasing
    • Working together means Harmony
    • Health Equals Less Expense

It took considerable commitment and time to process these repatterning activities daily while continuing to cope constructively with her chronic health difficulties. These would have been impossible to maintain with the addition of a full-time inflexible working period job, extensive family support activities, or, without clear access to Spiritual Guidance. This meant a sacrifice of income and most social involvements in exchange for slow health recovery. These are daily choices which are seldom without frustration.


The fifth step was to define in detail the imprinted patterns involved, as has been done above, so that Reptilian Structure would have all, or most, of the focal points of the experiences which contributed to the imprinting. With this knowledge available on a conscious basis, Reptilian Structure would have to focus on the details. At this point, a recognition of the pattern and a repositioning of the incidents into the Past and out of the Future could lead to a disintegration of the more recent association of the 5 Past patterns into a Future reality.

This example of a composite of strongly imprinted patterns into a future expectation provide you, the reader, with an awareness of the complexity and potential extensiveness of such a pattern. It demonstrates how the physical Reptilian Structure brain of an individual can sabotage its own existence.

YOUR pattern may reach the same conclusion in a very different manner but it will share certain common principles:

  1. The underlying patterns will all be imprinted associations;

  2. The underlying patterns will NOT be assembled in chronological order;

  3. To influence imprinted patterns you must become consciously aware of them;

  4. To constructively change Reptilian Structure you must respect it;

  5. Ignoring the PAST makes a Predictable FUTURE;

  6. Understanding the PAST enables change in the PRESENT;

  7. Change in the PRESENT, changes the FUTURE;

  8. Constructive CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.
