It's so timely to have encountered this video as part of a module in my Nested World Ambassador Certification Program.
The experimentations conducted in the video reflect the "Laws of Nurture" required so the "Biological Laws of Nature" don't have to activate.
To break it down, All living beings are not meant to be isolated or alone, as this means imminent death or low chances of survival. Granted reptiles and amphibians are usually solo when hatched but will need nurture and protection from its mother while at a vulnerable stage within the egg.
The interesting thing about the evolution of the dominant animal group on the planet, the mammals, who only really evolved about 260 million years ago, is that they intentionally evolved to BE in social groups in order to increase chances of species survival. Because this is so, a specialized and very advanced nervous system needed to evolve itself in order to ensure that social bonds are intact and on the other side of the coin, to ring alarms when there is danger or when social interaction is harmful or life threatening.
We are literally born to interact with all living beings, but especially with those in our original nest and the nests we build. With evolution, came affective neuroscience that allows for bonding and long term caregiving - so that nurture is given and received to allow for successful progeny. This required chemical messengers that strengthened bonds such as oxytocin, serotonin and even vasopressin but also the chemicals that signaled danger for fast action: adrenaline, norepinephrine and epinephrine.
The first ingredient of growth is SAFETY. For babies and little children, the stanchion of safety is MOTHER. In her absence, a substitute attuned caregiver can be enough, like a father or relative or a motherly grandmother or nanny.
In the video, videos of baby monkeys who have been separated from their mothers very early on are given cloth mothers and wire mother substitutes. Everyone now knows how distressful it is to be separated from an attuned caregiver because we've seen the viral videos of Punch-kun, the baby Japanese macaque who was rejected and abandoned by its mother and bullied by adult monkeys and found refuge and comfort in a stuffed organutan from Ikea. The monkeys preferred the cloth mother due to tactile comfort and touch over the wired mothers. Taking away the cloth mother from the baby infant, put him into "stimming" or rocking, an instinctive way to self soothe, often identified in children on the autistic constellation. This shows the importance of touch and how oxytocin and safety is a preqrequisite for the neurobiological development of a mammalian youngling - especially primates, or those mammals with a similar polyvagal complex as humans
Another clip shows a baby chimp with a moving cloth mother that swings and moves the baby while it is clinging to its body. Another baby chimp clung to an immobile cloth mother. The results were amazing - the baby with the moving mother had developed better social skills than the other with a motionless substitute mother, giving insight into the requirement of movement to develop the brain. My mentor, Anat Baniel, has a tagline: "Movement is the language of the brain" Babies and young children who have experienced neglect, abuse and trauma have inhibited the impulse to move and often default to the autonomic response of freeze or shutdown because they don't have the resources to save or protect themselves in a perceived life threatening event. Being alone and rejected is life threatening to a new baby. Thank goodness Punch had Oro-mama - bless his caretakers!
I also love the insight at the end of the video about the people who are ruling the world right now - they weren't consciously parented, didn't have an experience of kindness and empathy in childhood and had nervous systems running in survival mode. These people are running the world into chaos and war. How can we start choosing leaders who have had high parental nurturance and empathy growing up? A solution would be to start raising children with a high level of knowledge of the Laws of Nature and the Laws of Nurture.
Understanding our evolution is key in intitiating methods and protocols to assist humans in unpausing our evolution and harnessing our unlimited potential. I believe the world can be better and we can fill it with better humans, by understanding the territorial conflicts that was placed there by nature to help us adapt to environmental dangers and knowing how to balance them and knowing how to orchestrate life decisions where they are fruitful for all, not destructive or competitive. So hard because this is literally hardwired, but we have a nervous system that is malleable and trainable and I've seen it work miracles in my own body and in many clients.
There's still time to be a SHIFTMASTER in this lifetime. We can evolve to the next level when we understand our nature and why nurture should never be undermined
