Our Beginning
Every human being begins the same way.
We are conceived.
We grow inside another human body.
We are sustained, protected, and shaped before we ever open our eyes.
But while the structure is the same for everyone,
the environment is not.
During pregnancy, a developing baby is not separate from the mother’s experience. The womb is not a sealed bubble
— it is a shared biological system.
Whatever the mother’s body has to respond to,
the baby responds to as well.
No Choice, No Consent — Only Adaptation
For these nine months, we have no control over:
- The conditions we are grown in
- The stressors present in our environment
- The emotional world of the adults around us
Yet our nervous system adapts anyway.
It adjusts sensitivity.
It adjusts alertness.
It adjusts expectations.
This is not weakness.
It is intelligence.
It is the body doing what bodies have always done:
Preparing to survive the world it expects to enter.
