The consciousness develops logically. We are able to think and we are able to make choices. Still, there are things that occur automatically and not by using logic. For example, we can cause pain within ourselves and for the ones we love. It overcomes us time and time again, those two worlds, the logic against the illogic; we don’t want it to, but still it happens. Suddenly we find ourselves in the middle of arguments we don’t want to be in, wars we don’t want to wage. Yet still it happens, against all of our better judgment. We can’t seem to stop these types of situations from taking place.

Personally, I think that the root of this behaviour lies in the period we were still in the womb. The illogical behaviour is based on a memory, the same way that any behaviour is based on a memory. My goal is to restore the fetal foundation in people so that there is no room for a negative or incomplete memory. It is already very helpful when you can make someone aware of such a memory.

When the normal flow of life becomes stagnant, we often display regressed behaviour that is based on old memories. This behaviour is completely different than before the stagnation. Stagnation has many faces. For example: you lose your job, or you begin retirement, or you have to move to a new home, or your partner leaves you, or your welfare payments stop. Stagnation can come very suddenly, after which you first go into an illogical, automatic behaviour, on automatic pilot. You can no longer logically structure your life. It often takes a while before you have all of your ducks in a row again. You pull back from the flow of life and feel paralyzed in the outside world. Then, just like when you were in the womb, you are no longer participating in the world around you. The behaviour you display here is based on your very own unconscious memories. By experiencing this consciously, you will be able to connect with the period you were in the womb.

For the remainder of the book, the following is very important: you were never inside your mother.
