If you are interested, you might look into the research about "pre-birth" experiences. It's fascinating!

Ah ha! Have at thee! I will not stand idly by while my mother is called Tao [ tow, dow ]
noun Definition: 1. ultimate reality: in Taoist philosophy, the ultimate reality in which all things are located or happen
2. universal energy: in Taoist philosophy, the universal energy that makes and maintains everything that exists
3. relationship between individual and universe: in Taoist philosophy, the order and wisdom of individual life, and the way that this harmonizes with the universe as a whole
How can you even state with certainty that the tao exists let alone that it its my mother or that i could have been one with it during her pregnancy.
Also, had you seen my mother you would make no such statement, she looks more like a little and very old lady, more to the point she is clearly a human being and nothing more.

Be still my beating heart.
The womb still could be the origin of the Garden myth.

It's frustrating how education can interfere with your learning process, isn't it?

this may or may not apply to your thread, but...imo, one of the greatest travesties of christianity (or similar religions) is this:
Quote:
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Ohhhh yes, I've been noticing this phenomenon once I started the long and apatic path of schooling.

Veritas said: Not necessarily. There is quite a bit of evidence that the developing human experiences the intense emotional states of his/her mother. With no context for this emotional bombardment, this could create a really bad "trip." 
Gestation could be blissful for the baby growing inside a blissed-out mother, or hellish for the baby whose mother is an emotional wreck.
is this necessarily so? i have a brother two years older than me with a very rare decease. something about chromosomes and only forty people have it in the world. he was born yellow and had to be rushed to another hospital and it was very uncertain what was wrong with him. my mother was 18 or 19 at the time. then one year after this she found out she was pregnant again and she cried and cried with me in the womb. but when i was born she was very relieved. the first two years of my life i seldom cried and was extremely happy. actually my whole childhood was happy, artistic and everything came easy for me. my problems started later on (puberty). im asking, not claiming, here.
eta; or maybe they started when i dug up the dirt and did too much dope.
