A cricket’s rash and fiery single note, It marked with shrill melody night’s moonless hush And beat upon a nerve of mystic sleep Its high insistent magical reveille. Book Two, Canto 14, The World soul - "Savithri" - Sri Aurobindo

Wall of Lombardy, New York HWW and Best wishes Regression was the idea that great trauma could cause you to regress to an earlier stage of development. It was an extension of the theory of recapitulation. This theory is best known for the phrase “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny,” put simply,m many scientists thought that as the fetus develops in the womb, it changes from a single cell organism into a protomammal, then transforms into a simple primate. Next it becomes a complex primate. Finally turns into a human. Of course, we now know this isn’t remotely true, but it was widely believed similarly Freud described regression as a sort of ‘Involution,” or “a return to earlier phases of sexual life.” ~ Page 210

…….it is valuable to understand how this is the culmination of a process of comparative biology that starts with the most evident feature of organisms -- like the common bone structures in mammalian forelimbs that Darwin cited -- and proceeds to ever more minute details., the striking affinities of anatomy and physiology point clearly to relationships, but the exact character of the relationships, the determination of just which organisms are closer kin, depends on the history of modifications of the genetic material. ~ Page 53
