The spirit or soul as we call it is an entity of light filled with the same love that we were experiencing when we were with the Being of Light before our birth and the same one we will meet with when we die. Before we come into this world we spend time with the Being of Light in the same place that people go to in near death experiences. During that time, we are shown everything we will have to go trough during this coming life, this is why we have déja vue experiences. Our spirit or soul remembers the feeling of love we experienced during that time spent with the Being of Light and still wants to experience it once inside a human body. When the child is born, the brain is not developed enough to have coherent thoughts. So the soul or spirit controls the child. That is the reason babies are so loving. We come here to learn how to love all things unconditionally, to love with the unconditional love of the child. The human body we occupy is loaned to us by the Great Spirit so that we can learn those lessons, if we fail to learn the lessons we were given, we have to try again and again until we succeed. When we fail we are obliged to come back into another human body but must face the same difficulties and overcome them.
The reproductive cycle is affected by a large number of factors. The environment and the food we eat are two of the most important items. If a couple wishing to have a child lives in a toxic environment and or does not eat enough or the wrong kind of food, they run the risk of not being able to provide all the necessary elements to fertilize the egg and consequently give birth to a physically and mentally damaged child. The consumption of drugs and or alcohol before, during and after copulation can have a detrimental effect on the formation of the embryo and the development of the fetus. Improper or insufficient food will also affect the development of the fetus.
During that crucial period, it is important for the pregnant mother to find herself in a good mood as much as possible. The developing child is sensitive to all the substances that circulate in his mother's body. If she drinks alcohol, the child gets drunk too, if she is angry or afraid, the child feels the adrenaline that circulates in mother's blood, if she is having sex, the child feels the effects of the sexual endorphins during orgasm. Science is just now finding out that all the above substances are addictive and that the addiction can be transmitted to a child before he or she is born. If we ignore this important phase of our development, we are denying our children the ability to live a relatively easy life and burden them with problems they will have to struggle with for the rest of their lives.
For thousands of years, native communities that live within the Arctic Circle have survived in a climate where, for two months of the year, the temperature outside their house is minus 50 degrees and the sun doe not rise above the horizon. What does it take not only to survive but also to reproduce and be happy under such living conditions? The answer lies in their traditions that dictate: That a pregnant woman must be in a good mood as much as possible. It is believed that if she is traumatized, not only is she injured, but the child is damaged for the rest of his life. When one looks at addiction to adrenaline prior to birth, one understand what that statement means.
During the darkest period of the year for people living nearer the poles, the absence of light causes the people to feel depressed. It therefore is important to ensure that late pregnancy does not extend into this period of the year to avoid damaging the unborn child. Prolonged exposure to the substances produced by the body of the mother when depressed during that time of the year will affect the unborn child. This wisdom is several thousand years old and full of common sense.
The same tradition also states, "when a child is born, he or she must be respected and given all the love he or she wants." If the love is not given, the child grows up wanting, eventually, the child forgets that it is love that he or she wants and just wants. That is what is responsible for greed and the struggle for power. Love is so important to the children, that even if you try to kill them, they will continue loving you. In order to do so, the child forgets the trauma as soon as possible but his brain develops a defense mechanism which causes them to react to threatening situations with anger and fear instead of reasoning it out and finding an acceptable solution. The parents are held so high in their esteem, that they believe their parents, the object of their love, can do no wrong. The tragedy here is that if the parents do something wrong, the children will grow up believing that it is OK to do so, and, not knowing any other way and not able to tell the difference between right and wrong, will treat their own children the same way. This is how unacceptable behavior is passed on to our children, the reason why it is so hard to break the cycle of violence and what is behind the common belief that our leaders, religious or otherwise, can do no wrong.
