T'affections, and to faculties,

Which sense may reach and apprehend,

Else a great prince in prison lies.

John Donne is describing a couple mating. However, they are not concerned with the physical sex that must take place between them. Their souls "have gone out" and they are interfacingand helping the new soul for which they are creating a human body to smoothly and competently enter into a lifetime as a human being in the Earth World. Mr. Donne warns in the lastline: "Else a great prince in prison lies". That is, if this is not done, if a man and a woman do not know what the facts of life are and what is happening when they conceive a child, the newsoul will be confused and trapped in its new human body. It will be essentially in the same condition as a beast.

On the Causal Plane, the body that a soul has there is called its "seed body". What this means is that this body holds the "seeds of karma" - karmas that are, as yet, un-manifested orunrealized. These seeds predate their logical consequences, i.e., their manifestations. Therefore, when you come into this world, in general, the "seeds" of what your life will be havealready been planted.You have, therefore, very little real "free choice". The Spiritual Masters tell us that every breath you take is already counted - you have only so many breaths to take in a lifetime: then,you die.

When you choose a mate and think about the possibility of children, it is very likely that your choice of a mate and also of the soul which will now become part of your family as your sonor daughter, was pre-destined in your karmas before either of you were even born here.

When a man and woman get together and have thoughts of bringing a baby into the Earth world, the soul that is scheduled to do this incarnation drops to the first Astral plane which isessentially "in the same place" as the Earth. It stays close to the female - waiting. At the moment of conception, it "comes in". Therefore, even if you use something like the popular"morning after pill" you have still killed your baby and displaced its soul and, of course, committed a Spiritual crime which will be charged against you in future karmas.

During this "waiting period", the soul can see you and hear you. A soul scheduled for a human incarnation in the present time is not stupid. It has had countless previous lives and has beena human man and also a woman many times before. In some way, it is linked to you and to your mate in karma and you all have "been together" sometime in the past. The period beforeincarnation is important. The soul, naked and with no bodies, is in a much more powerful position now than it will be after the incarnation. It knows who you are - it sees all the things youand your mate do and hears everything you say to each other. Although it cannot avoid the incarnation, the things it hears and sees during this period will leave "impressions" on it. If youare pregnant by accident and "hate" the child you are carrying, these memories will continue to effect your baby in its lifetime. After incarnation and before the child learns to speak, thememories of these things as well as of its past lifetimes fade out. But, they remain quite alive in its "unconscious mind". And, the unconscious mind subtly effects the conscious mind. So,if your teenager hates you or does not care about you, it could be that it remembers that you hate it - and did not care about it when you brought it into this world.

Therefore, the preparations that you make when considering bringing a baby into the world are quite important.

It cannot be expected, in the present time, that couples will be able to follow the "prefect" procedure that we gave at the beginning of this discussion. But, they should be aware of it anduse appropriate approximations.

Here we will list some helpful points:

1. Pick a mate for whom you feel - or at least for whom you think you feel - genuine Love.
