“The Helpless Infant Imprint Theory”
My point here is not to argue for or against
the existence of God. I took a personal interest
in human mythology for my own evolution and
subconscious cleansing, and at one point I had
to figure out for myself why almost every human
tribe or society creates/sees/imagines a ”God’
or ‘gods’.
In 2004 I created my own personal theory …
The ‘Helpless Infant Imprint’
(the condensed explanation)
Every human ever born (that survives) spends
at least the first two years of their life dependent
on superior beings (parents/adult guardians) to feed
and bathe them (and if they’re fortunate – nurture them)…
take care of them in EVERY way.
This experience creates the first subconscious impressions
before even words are learned and language is developed.
This initial primal impression would be one of ‘helplessness’
and the existence of superior beings,
and
these ‘superior’ beings’ take care of me, look out for me,
and supply me with what I need.
I believe this imprint is not only responsible for the human creation
of God(s) in almost all tribes and societies throughout history and today
BUT
is also a key element in our primal feelings of codependance and insecurity in our human experience.

I am not sure we all need to have or to invent gods. Some of us our just superstitious. Or is that just a form of Atheism?
Hi Lou,
Sometimes when I read books, listen to tapes, etc., I end with more questions than when I started. This leads to more reading/listenting; leading to more questions….you know what I mean. Well, for the most part, I understand the “what” of what I read, I just don’t understand the “how”. I read recently that once someone has a desire, the trick is not to focus on it, but instead to rid oneself of all counter thoughts to it. How is this done? Are there any tips, tricks, or words of wisdom you might be able to offer?
Thanks,
Lisa.
Hi Lisa.
Sounds like surrender…good advice.
I believe desire is our connection to the presently expanding whole.

the above post makes sense to me. i can hold the idea that i was dependent on my parents and that dependnecy stayed with me and i applied it to other people and things “out there”. Also that my parents were supreme beings. The good news is that this worked in my best interest, because it got me to cling to them which in turn kept me alive as i grew, then it also gave me the idea that there is something greater then myself, which in turn prepared me foe the search for God. That search , of course, led me to see that the supreme being was in fact me. the real and only me. i see no enimy, only a series of evolution in awakeing.
By jove you’ve got it!
Awakening is a superb feeling letting your mind travel where ever you want your mind to go, without the constraint of hierarchy ..
It seems to me that everything that humans experience from the cradle to the grave-including their own existence-is without doubt superior to them; and thus a Superior Being (God) is necessairly responsible for, and in control of, it al.
Why then make it too complicated for simply minded folks like myself?
I’m sure you’re not simple minded but simple is good. For me the overriding question was since spirit or consciousness or God is ‘always present’ and never had a beginning and intelligence is developed through experience how there be a linear progression? Here’s my answer:
