Denial of death
Becker is blowing my mind, "Children feel hounded by symbols they don't understand the need of. Verbal demands/rules and codes that seem picayune and draw attention away from their pleasure and straightforward expression their natural energies. And when they try to master the body/pretend it isn't there, the body suddenly overwhelms them, submerges them in vomit or excrement and the child breaks down in desperate tears over his melted pretense at being a purely symbolic animal. Often the child deliberately soils himself or continues to wet the bed to protest against the imposition of artificial symbolic rules. He seems to be saying that the body is his primary reality and he wants to remain in the simpler physical eden and not be thrown out into the world of right and wrong. In this way we realize directly and poignantly that what we call the child's character is a modus vivendi (way of life), achieved after the most unequal struggle any animal has to go through. A struggle that the child can never really understand because he doesn't know what is happening to him, why he is responding as he does, or what is really at stake in the battle."

The New Womb
Realty is diverse and we have never seen it all at once, and never can. Our brains are selective and decided what parts to look at during our development for the purpose of survival. You initially survive roughly 2 decades of your subconscious deciding what parts of reality to focus on based on the environment you are in. The subconscious mind of a 4 year old is intelligent as fuck - it's like having an etherial extra and best parent: the only parent who can really attune to your needs because it is tapped into them on biological level and directly integrated. The subconscious is an intelligent new womb one lives within after birth. So into adulthood, with the selective perception of reality the new womb has provided to keep your survival chance as high possible. Now, in a completely different environment, our perception of reality is made obselessant. And the "law of attraction" is a woo woo sounding concept that simply refers to the act reconfiguring one's reality selection, with intention and discipline, to keep the environment just stable enough for the womb to adapt. To realize old threats are gone and don't need to be scanned for hypervigilantly, and new opportunities are now present that weren't there before (and even completely blocked through domination, trauma, familial rules, etc.).
