	~~'''Basic Perinatal Matrix I''' refers to the stage of perinatal experience that occurs in the nine month gestation period prior to labor and birth of the infant.~~ In an ideal situation, existence in the womb is experienced as gentle, warm, and safe with no emotional, chemical, or physical "spikes" that cause anxiety or trauma in the sensitive fetus. During an ideal (or close to ideal) gestation period, the fetus will perceive the world to be radiating beauty and bliss. During this stage, and assuming no significant and/or ongoing assaults on the physical unit, the developing physical unit will experience "cosmic identifications" and/or mystical unity with all things. This experience of the developing [[Physical Unit]] (i.e., the fetus) arises because of the connection to the [[Fabric of Consciousness]]. As Grof makes a point of noting (and as would be expected given the absence of indoctrination designed to instill [[System Concepts]]), the concept of evil is irrelevant and nonexistence in this where the physical unit's connection to the Fabric of Consciousness is as yet undamaged.

However, assaults in utero, or during the birth process, can become the locus of developing pathologies. The nature of the psychological or physical pathology will depend on the nature and severity of the trauma, and the extent to which the trauma was reinforced in the post-natal world. For example, chemical assaults in the womb may lead to a [[COEX Root]] that organizes all future experiences perceived of as "toxic" by the physical unit. Given sufficient time and reinforcement, this may eventually lead to various psychological disorders related to cleanliness, purity, lack of boundaries, etc. If the original COEX Root was to be associated with the traumatic metaphors of fire and brimstone fundamentalism, for example, we may end of up psychological dysfunction organized around issues of purity and cleanliness, with religious overtones.

'''Basic Perinatal Matrix I''' refers to the stage of perinatal experience that occurs in the nine month gestation period prior to labor and birth of the infant.
