One of the Planks of the Communist Manifesto is to destroy the family. Welfare was created and sold as a remedy for poor women to help them care for their children. This also reduced the need for a family structure by making the father less important and not necessary to help support the children. The State made it their job to take care of the children, so men could be relieved of the responsibility of caring for children. Fathers as parents became optional.

Also, motherhood was diminished when women and society as a whole were sold the idea that a job/career was MORE important than raising children. Women were praised more for careers than for choosing to be mothers and nurturers.

With more women working, expenses increases and it became necessary for two incomes to support a family.

None of this is news.

Years ago, I read a book by Joseph Chilton Pearce, and he noticed the importance of the heart-brain connection, or what the Heart-Math people call Cardioelectromagnetic communication. The heart is the most powerful electromagnetic generator in the human body. These electromagnetic waves seem to be what carries information to the body’s cells, organs, and more.

What Pearce noticed was the importance of the mother’s heart to the developing baby, and that in traditional societies, mothers wore their babies on their bodies. Particularly in the first six months, the mother’s heart entrains with the baby’s heart and brain to create a coherence between the mother and child heart and brain. Having coherence resulted in a development in the forebrain for empathy.

It occurred to me that mothers were being encouraged to separate from their babies at a very young age and pass them off to a daycare or other babysitting situation where this entrainment would not occur and that this would have a detrimental effect on the family, communities, and society as a whole. This would result in people becoming more disconnected from and less empathetic to others, resulting in a breakdown in society.

The results are in.
