Hello Folks!
I've notice that not only are pregnant women close to their own
unconscious processes; but they appear to be connected to the deepest levels
of the collective unconscious. We are becoming increasingly aware that
pregnancy and birth can precipitate transcendent, ecstatic emotional
states. The pregnant woman may transcend the ordinary, familiar sense of
self to achieve an extraordinary understanding of being one with the
cosmos.
Pregnancy commonly awakens a transpersonal awareness or "peak experience.".
For example, Maria, a mother of two in Louisville, Kentucky, reports. "There
were times, during both my pregnancies, when I felt at one with all
creation. It was a profoundly spiritual experience."
Taking part in the miracle of creation seems to link the expectant mother
more closely with the creative life force in the universe. She is somehow
intimately conjoined with the root of all being, the intrinsic source of
life beyond appearances. Perhaps we all have roots connecting us to all
life, with all conscious beings. But the pregnant woman seems to be closer
to those roots.
Can anyone identify with this?
Blessed Be
