The Birth of a New Earth

The Birth Of A New Earth

The New Earth Paradigm and how it relates to Birth

Are you a human who was born on the planet earth? Then this information is for you.

This is about humanity and the beingness of the beginning of your life as a human being and how your relationship with yourself and with life was formed by the primordial journey into this earth plane of existence. about recreating the creation (birth) in a way that it works, not the dysfunctional way it has been dealt with by a vast number of people on the planet.

It is about the surprising connection between birth, life and death, and our relationships to all of that ball of mess.

And it is about remembering who you are at a very profound level.

In the words of an extremely wise sage woman, Robin Lim, “Peace on Earth begins with birth.”

The New Earth

For years, I had been inspired by a concept of a new earth, or a new humanity, with a new level of consciousness. Since I was a child, I spent countless hours wondering why there was so many stupid problems in the world. Like so stupid, because they could easily be solved. Life why the heck were there still kids in the world who couldn’t find clean water to drink, but billionaires were spending trillions trying to go to mars, or gates was trying to jab them up with toxic jabs, when they didn’t even have clean water or food. Like, it was so stupid.

Then I wondered, why were there homeless people? Why were there wars? Are these impossible to solve problems? I mean … Why weren’t they solved. There seemed to be tons of organizations that seemed to be trying to solve these problems. And yet, they never got solved.

I dreamed and envisioned a world that worked for everyone. I decided there had to be a way to have no wars and no poverty within the next 50 years. What would it take for that to happen. It would take a shift in the consciousness of humanity. Think back to when slavery was the norm. It took a shift in consciousness for people to decide that wasn’t how we wanted to do things anymore. It would take a shift in consciousness for humanity to decide we would not put up with wars or poverty anymore.

But why stop there? If we could have the world be the way we want, how would we create it?

We seem to be born into this world with preexisting ways of doing things, and preexisting problems. And we just seem to react to problems as they grab our attention.

No one actually thinks, if we could create our society the way we want it to be, how would we create it? If we could create societies from scratch, like from nothing … How would we want it to be?

If we could create all systems deliberately, not limited by what is already there? What would we do differently? What would we actually keep of the old system? What works, and what doesn’t work?

I don’t think any of us would design homelessness into the ideal design of our society. I know it’s possible to design homelessness out of our society, cos I grew up in Singapore. One the first things Lee Kuan Yew, the prime minister of Singapore, did when he decided what to focus on at the beginning of Singapore as an independent nation, was he decided housing was the first thing to focus on. He made sure everyone had affordable housing, and fulfilled on that plan. He didn’t TRY to make housing a priority. He MADE housing a priority. There’s a lot I disagree with in his policies over time, but that one was pretty effective.

My point is, if people definitely want to get things done, they can and they will. If they want to TRY to get things done, they definitely will not get it done.

If we were going to redesign society from scratch, let’s redesign all the aspects of systems that don’t work - Education, Leadership, Health, Communication, Business, Economics, Conflict Resolution etc.

But while it was a great idea to ponder philosophically, it seemed impossible to ever be able to restructure society. It was so much bigger than me

Then 2020 happened

It became clear as heck that if the political will was there, every country in the world could be shut down, economies could be paused, and societal structures could be completely restructured. If there was a will to restructure society for the supposed wellbeing of people, it could be done instantaneously. Of course, we all know that the shutdowns were not for the wellbeing of humanity. It was for the enslavement of humanity, pretending to be for the wellbeing of humanity. But the point remains, if people want to solve a problem, everyone can be mobilised to solve it.

When 2020 happened

I felt an overwhelming sense that this was the time I had been waiting for my whole life. This was the big shift. Everything in the world was changing, and it would never go back to the way it was before. The whole problem standing in the way of creating the new paradigm for humanity was how were we going to convince humanity to change their systems and habits.

Boom!

In one fell swoop, the systems started crumbling before our very eyes.

And then in 2021 the medical apartheid segregation began. At first I tried to fight it. I tried to bridge the gap. I tried to talk sense to the other side. And then I saw the instant communities spring up. In a matter of days, 136,000 people formed a group on fb against the medical pass segregation. People started meeting up in local communities. People hugged, they talked for hours, they were relieved to be in each other’s company, free to speak their innermost thoughts and feelings. The community I had always wanted sprang up just like that, and we were instantly bonded.

I looked at bridging the divide to the other side, I looked at the people who were my tribe … and I chose to abandon the effort to bridge the gap, and instead went along with the separation of society.

We were forming a parallel society. This was it. This was the greatest opportunity to recreate society from scratch, from nothing, from pure potentiality. We could reshape our parallel society the way we wanted it to be, while the dysfunctional system continued to fall around us. Governments imploded, millions around the world took to the streets, the narrative became more and more ridonculous until it was no longer possible to hold the lie together.

Meanwhile, the pregnant mothers who wanted a normal birth sought me out. It became impossible to have a normal birth experience in the hospital. We had to return to the ways of the olden days. It became even more pertinent to learn the basics - how human beings were meant to come into this earth plane.

How Can I Say How They Were “Meant” to Come In?

Surely every birth is valid. There is no one right way. There is no one way we are all meant to have?

Yes, every birth is valid. Every way that a baby comes in is they way they were meant to come in, because that is the way they came in. And that’s totally fine.

But as a human species, we have SO lost touch with what is a natural process and why it’s beneficial and important, that it would really serve us to relearn this knowledge.

First of All, Why Natural?

Why Natural? What difference does it make? Before we talk about natural birth, let’s talk about natural in general.

What does it even mean? Generally speaking, there are things in this world that are natural, and things that are man-made. Have a look at what your automatic beliefs are? Do you already prefer things that are natural? Or Man Made?

What do you think is better?

Is man-made medicine better than natural medicine? Is man-made food better than natural food?

Is man-made technology better than natural technology?

What do you think is better?

Is man-made medicine better than natural medicine? Is man-made food better than natural food?

Is man-made technology better than natural technology?

Is there no better or worse? Are there some man-made things that improve life, and some man-made things that make life worse? Are there natural things that improve life? And Natural things that make life worse?

How natural do you feel your life is?

Let us ground ourselves in some facts.

Homo Sapiens have been on this planet for 200,000 years. The most recent man-made advancements have been in the last 150 years. We probably don’t want to go back to horse and buggy, and we probably don’t want to go back to having no internet. We would probably all agree that we like the ability to travel through space fairly rapidly, and we like the ability to communicate and look up information as quickly as we think.

Beyond that, has technology increased our satisfaction, sense of meaning and fulfillment in life? Ya not really.

Looking at systems, systems in nature work in a startlingly harmonious way. Ecosystems work miraculously well, where each organism is dependent on the others, and if one species is out of whack, everything else gets out of whack. And the systems work in perfect harmony, there are organism to break down the waste products of other organisms, and turn them back into useful products. Everything is dependent on each other for the systems to work.

Looking at human systems, we seem to create new inventions to solve a problem, but then end up with a new problem. We invented the motor engine, but then ended up with too much pollution. Nature would have invented an organism to break down the waste products so there’s no pollution, but humans did not do that. Humans invent medicine to solve the problem of illnesses, but then the medications cause side effects, which are just a new problem. Nature doesn’t cause side effects.

Cos guess what? There is an intelligent organizing principle behind nature. Pretending otherwise is just stupid. Pretending that life just magically appeared on the planet and organized itself into this astounding array of complexity and biodiversity in intricate ecosystems because of series of extremely random events, is like pretending your laundry in your dryer is going to fold itself one day, because, hey, anything is possible.

No. Your laundry is not going to fold itself, and life did not randomly occur by chance. Let’s just stop pretending this stupid game.

There is an intelligence behind nature, and this intelligence is a heck of a lot more intelligent than us as human beings. We can certainly be intelligent and creative, but let’s not pretend we will ever be more intelligent than the organizing principle of the universe.

And for that reason, I would suggest, we take a serious look at nature, how it works, and how we can learn from it as a blueprint that works.

Nature and Birth

Now let’s look at the natural process of birth.

I’m going to say something extremely radical right here.

All the experts you usually think of when you think of the field of birth, don’t know diddly squat about how birth occurs in nature. Nothing. They know absolutely nothing.

Now, think about the experts in birth? What image did you conjure in your mind?

Where did that image come from? Why do you have that image?

Is it true? Is that the expert in birth?

If you are like the average person, you probably pictured a doctor, maybe in a white coat. Maybe a man, maybe a woman. Probably a white person. Probably in a hospital or a clinic.

I’m going to ask you a simple question. Who is the person doing the birthing?

Why is the person doing the actual task not considered the expert, but the person not doing the action is the expert? The doctor may never even have given birth their entire lives. Can you think of any other field of activity, where the person doing the activity is not seen as the expert, but the person who has never done the activity is seen as the expert?

If you wanted to take your car to be fixed, would you take it to a mechanic who has fixed cars before, or a person who has a PhD in car mechanics but has never fixed a single car before?

Right. You would want the person who has experience actually fixing cars to fix your car.

Now looking at birth, let’s understand how we got to where we are right now in the culture of birth.

When you think about birth, what is the automatic image you have in your mind? Describe it in as much detail as you see. What is happening? Who is there? What is the setting? What is the emotion? And how did you get this image? Where does it come from? Have you ever seen a birth in real life? Have you only seen it on tv? Have you heard stories from friends or family members?

What is everything you think about birth is fundamentally flawed?

First of all, as a culture, we tend to think that birth takes place in a hospital, and that’s just the way it is. Home birth is weird. And dangerous.

Physiological Human Birth

Now let me just ground you in the fact that homo sapiens have been on earth for 200,000 years. Hospital birth has only been popular in the last 100 years. So for 199,900 years, we have been birthing at home. Birthing in the hospital is the weird occurrence. Looking at every other species of mammal, human beings are the only species that leaves their home environment and goes to an unfamiliar environment surrounded by strangers. Do you get how weird that is?

Every other mammal gives birth instinctually, and successfully. Why on earth, would the most consciously evolved species be unable to birth without assistance? Are you saying that nature has caused the perfect evolution of all mammals, and all species on earth for their successful preservation of the species, but nature really messed up on the evolution of one particular species - the human being?

All species can reproduce their young instinctually, except for one species?

Some people have suggested that the human mammal is different than other mammals in the area of birth, because the human infant has such a massive head compared to the size of their bodies. They have suggested that the human species is subject to more complications in birth compared to other animals because there is a higher chance of the infant head getting stuck in the birth canal.

In fact it is true, human infants have a very large head to body ratio compared to other animals. But nature doesn’t not make mistakes. Humans have evolved to have a huge head and huge brains, but the birth process has also evolved to fit the human head.

Unique Features of Human Birth

There are four unique modifications to human birth compared to other mammals, even apes and monkeys.

The Human Female Pelvis is uniquely shaped to fit a baby through it.

Every time I show a model of the female pelvis in prenatal classes, I explain how the female pelvis has a circular pelvic inlet to allow the baby’s head to pass through. The male pelvis is narrower and the pelvic inlet is more triangular. I explain that that’s why women have bigger hips and bigger bums - it’s to fit a baby through. I always find it bizarre that everyone is always surprised by that fact. Isn’t it crazy that we go through life thinking that women have bigger hips because it’s to attract a mate. No! Women have bigger hips to fit the large head of the human infant through, and human males are instinctively attracted to that feature because it exists.

2. The skull of the human fetus is not fused. The bones of the fetal skull can overlap in order to fit through the pelvis.

3.In pregnancy, the body produces a hormone called Relaxin. It increases towards the end of pregnancy. Relaxin works on the ligaments that hold joints together, and like the name suggests, it relaxes the ligaments. That’s why pregnant women may find they have loose joints in their hips or knees when they try to exercise in pregnancy, and some even have pain in their pelvic joints. The ligaments are loose and the bones can go out of place slightly. (btw, if you are experiencing pelvic pain in pregnancy, chiropractic care can help the bones go back into alignment). The purpose of the relaxing of the ligaments is to allow the pelvis to expand during birth.

The pelvic outlet is able to expand up to 33% in pregnancy to allow the baby, massive head and all, to pass through. Think about what position would allow the pelvic outlet to expand the maximum possible?

Move your body around with your hands on your hips and feel which position is the widest?

If you said squatting, you would be right.

Now think about what position women are usually birthing in in the hospitals?

Ever seen any birth on TV shows where women are squatting?

I’m not saying that’s the only position or the best position to birth in. I’m just saying it’s one of the many, many positions women can birth in (and do birth in in traditional cultures around the world that haven’t been influenced by the concepts of modern medicine).

4.The Cardinal Movements of Birth

Another unique aspect of human birth that doesn’t occur in other mammals, is the rotation of the fetus through the different parts of the pelvis. This has been named the cardinal movements.

The baby enters the pelvis facing sideways, usually. As it descends into the mid pelvis, it rotates to face the mother’s back (usually). It tucks it’s chin to chest to decrease the diameter passing through the pelvis then as it goes through the pelvic outlet, it extends it’s head up. After the head is birthed, the baby’s body rotates again so that the next widest part, the shoulders, pass through the pelvis.

So the human has evolved several accommodations to facilitate the birthing of the human infant, with it’s large head. The human female is not broken. Birth is not inherently dangerous. Nature did not screw up.

But Don’t Women and Babies in Third World Countries Die at a Higher Rate?

Yes, they do. So let’s look at that and understand what’s going on.

Ok. First I would like to separate people into 3 categories for the purpose of this conversation.

Women who have access to resources to manage their wellbeing
Women who do not have access to resources for their wellbeing
Women who live in tribal societies that have access to resources for their well being and have not been influenced by modern concepts

In all countries, whether affluent or not, there are different classes of people. To generalize women according to countries, ignores the wealth gap within each country. In relation to maternal and fetal mortality rates, when women do not have access to the basic building blocks of health, the effect is that they have a higher chance of fetal and maternal mortality.

What are the basic building blocks of health?

Really, what do you think they are?

Is it access to medical intervention, hospitals, drugs?

Is that the basic building blocks of health?

Do you know what made the most dramatic changes in health over the last hundred to hundred and fifty years?

It’s actually not vaccines or surgery. Although those did improve health outcomes, the most dramatic change in health was access to clean water and sanitation, and access to nutrition.

If you think back to Europe a couple hundred years ago, people had very low life expectancy. This was because they did not have access to food with complete nutrition, and they lived in very unsanitary conditions.

Now think about people in poverty in todays’ world, whether it’s the effect of colonialism in what are called third world countries, or the effects of colonialism in the indigenous communities in what are called first world countries. They don’t have access to food that has well balanced nutrition, and they don’t have access to clean water and sanitary living.

That is going to have a Massive impact on pregnancy, the health of the mother and fetus in pregnancy, and the safety of birth. Women who don’t have access to good nutrition and clean water, have a dramatically higher chance of fetal and maternal mortality.

In the absence of the basic building blocks of health, the emergency measures become critical for saving lives. It is in the most impoverished communities, that emergency medical treatment in birth is so important, yet it is the impoverished communities that have the least access to quality medical care in birth.

Creating What We Want - Solutions

Now there are two ways to think about this. One is to start with the way things currently are, the way birth typically is managed, in the hospitals etc. and then look at little ways we can tweak things to be “better”.

Another way of looking at this is to start with imagining, envisioning, feeling out how we would love for things to be. Start with imagining how we would want birth to be, in an ideal world. If we had a magic wand, how would we want the world of birth to be like? If there were no limitations? If anything is possible?

That sounds way more fun, so let’s start there. What do we really, really want? Let’s start with Anything-Is-Possible, and feel it out, and only after we have completed that process, shall we do the gritty work of figuring out what practical steps we can actually take to go from the circumstances we have right now, in the direction of how we want things to be.

Was the distortion intentional or incidental?

I mean, really, this is a question of, is there a group of policy makers who are intentionally putting in place policy that is deliberately damaging and harmful to humanity, or are the policy makers well meaning, but deluded? Were the policies mostly beneficial with a little bit of accidental harm, or were they overwhelmingly and systemically harmful, with a dose of helpfulness?

The answer to that question is up to you and what you believe, and how you see the world. But let’s look at the historical trajectory of how birth was managed over the last hundred or so years.

The History of Birth

Human birth for the entire first 200,000 years since homo sapiens appeared on the earth, happened in the home. Like other social animals, the females of the community tended to assist when one of them was birthing. Seeing as how birth takes hours and hours, it makes sense that family members would help out with bringing the labouring mother food, drinks, and keeping her comfortable.

There certainly were a few occasional births which didn’t go so well, but the fact that the human population tended to increase greatly in every area of the planet that humans moved to, shows that birth was vastly a smooth, normal occurrence. As human societies developed and became more complex, people became more focused in their skills. Women who had developed knowledge and skills in healing and had assisted many other women at birth, tended to be called upon to assist at more births. Often girls would grow up witnessing births of family members, and would learn skills from their mothers or grandmothers. These skills developed over thousands of years.

Most cultures had some sort of traditional midwives. In India they were called Daai. In Malaysia they were called Bidan. In France, they were called Sage Femme (Wise Woman). vroedvrouw (knowledge woman) in the Netherlands.

Many cultures made use of local plants to make healing herbs and tinctures to solve problems. A lot of them were probably quite useful. Some of them were probably more superstition based and less useful. Over time, the more societies learned from mistakes of the past, the more they developed useful strategies. The role of the midwife tended to overlap with healing woman for all people in the community.

"The vast majority of women would have had straightforward births. Some would have encountered problems, and their family members would have called a midwife from the community or neighbouring communities. Different cultures developed tools and herbs that helped with labour. The wooden birthing stool in Africa, Hebrew, Egypt, the Fetoscope, The rebozo."

Sheila Kitzinger, birth anthropologist.

But what about the Present Day?

The New Earth Paradigm is about retrieving the original blueprint before Distortion.

It is the blueprint provided by Nature. Nature, which is created by the Divine.

The New Earth Paradigm is about choosing and creating. Not from a place of fear, avoidance, resistance or survival. It is about Creating and Choosing, from a place of Power, Love, Beauty, Unity, Connection and Wholeness.

Every System on Earth can be recreated the way we as Humanity want it to be. And the centre of it, Life, Family, Mothers, Babies can return to the original blueprint of creation.
