Ugandan children already form a part of the tribe from the time that they are in the womb. From that time, there is already a feeling of belonging. Everything is done together: the pregnancy does not take place in isolation, working is not done in isolation, eating is not done in isolation, and living in general is not done in isolation. The children are free to express their true nature. Perhaps that is what they feel in the womb, the freedom to be. As free little people in nature, Ugandan children have a better foundation than Western children.

My personal experience with regression hypnosis confirms the information described above, that children have registered much more of their environment than they realise. I do not refer here to the popular regression hypnosis for revisiting previous lives, but instead for revisiting earlier stages of life, as far back as the time in the womb.

So how does becoming aware work for a tiny baby in the womb? What are the consequences of this for the rest of its life? What are the consequences for a group that is born in a particular period, such as in the middle of the war during a famine in winter? How about the little children of the wartime of former Yugoslavia, or the children in the womb of their mothers in Rwanda, who felt the stress and anxiety of the battles around them?

And what is the influence of drugs, for example, on the fetus? The children of crack mothers or alcoholics display behaviour that goes against all logic and they find it very difficult to make contact with the real world. In the United States, a film was made about the fetal alcohol syndrome and the serious consequences this has on the postnatal life of a child.
