4.2 Mind Ages
Article 117 - Foetal Mind
By the fourth month, the neural circuits of the unborn child are usually sufficiently advanced that the child begins to consciously process and memorize information through its senses including the commencement of REM sleep or dreaming – a signature of reaching a level of self-consciousness and awareness.
The commencement of learning within the womb from the fourth month by an unborn child, including the making of facial expressions to the calming sound of the mother’s voice and other regularly identified voices appears to be instinctual preparation for survival and bonding with the mother after birth.
The commencement of learning within the womb from the fourth month by an unborn child includes the child deliberately exposing itself to taste and emotional experiences of the mother, including the essential association of sound, to emotional response. While this is also an instinctual preparation for survival and bonding with the mother after birth, any negative addictions of the mother including effects of mind viruses can be partially transferred onto the unborn child as an unintended consequence of the need for the unborn child to learn.
