• The process of child formation and birth involves far more than just the physical act of conception. It encompasses a complex interplay of physical, vital, mental, and spiritual energies that shape the developing being.
• During conception, parents not only combine genetic material but also blend subtle energies and consciousnesses. The state of consciousness of both parents at this time is crucial, as their thoughts, emotions, and spiritual aspirations can influence the type of soul attracted to incarnate. Couples with a strong spiritual inclination can consciously prepare an environment conducive to nurturing a more advanced or conscious soul.
• Genetic inheritance extends beyond mere physical traits. It includes psychological and even spiritual elements that span seven generations, according to Ayurvedic principles. This hereditary influence forms the foundation upon which the incoming soul builds its new personality and life.
• Advanced yogis or spiritually developed individuals can, through their concentrated spiritual energy, infuse higher qualities into the child being conceived. This principle underlies ancient practices where queens sought out great sages to father children with exceptional qualities.
• The consciousness and intention of the parents play a significant role in attracting and shaping the incarnating soul. This holistic view of child formation recognizes that the process begins long before physical conception and involves a delicate balance of energies from multiple dimensions of existence.
• Sexual acts that are damaging, such as violent sex, sex with abusive partners, or rape, can harm or negatively affect those who take part in them. Children conceived from such acts may be predisposed to darkness, or mental or physical damage. For this reason, the sexual instinct should be elevated as much as possible when intending to conceive, or to prevent harm.
