Jason,

How might someone contemplating abortion (or before that point, using their procreative energies unwisely) take your advice?

From one perspective, NOTHING any of us do really makes any difference in the grand scheme of things, seen from the soul level. The soul is eternal and isn't harmed by either murder or abortion. God does not die even if the temple is smashed to the ground.

But from another perspective, EVERYTHING we do is of absolute importance...every choice, every action. We are incarnated for the simple yet enormous purpose of being "God's hand" in the material world. This is the soul contract which each of us accepted as we set foot on the threshold of this life, even if we forgot it as we entered the world.

We can choose to accept and embody this contract, or not.

Jason,

I feel you are one of those who believes that true fulfillment comes from remembering, accepting, and living out this contract, and that perhaps it could be said that your mission as a spiritual coach is to help and encourage people to do so.

The ability to take a life is one of medicine's most powerful tools. In fact, it's a powerful tool in each of our hands. It can protect us and our loved ones. The ability to end the life process (at any point) can actually save lives.

Debating how many calendar days it takes for the soul to enter the fetus is an unnecessary distraction from the real issue: Forcing another soul to "change their plans" is making an soul-level choice while we stand blindfolded on the ground.

I'm not certain if I completely agree with this. It just doesn't completely resonate with me . . . at this time. I'd have to meditate on it. The reason being that I can feel the spirit of my daughter resonate in my reproductive organs from time to time reminding me that she is waiting for me to select a partner to share my love with so that SHE can be created. (Talk about effective birth control!) However, I also believe, should I become pregnant and have a miscarriage that her spirit would also return to the next fetus.

I do believe an abortion (whether elective, medical or spontaneous) is part of the life contract for all parties involved. It is neither bad, nor good. It just 'is'. And the spirit attached to that body, may or may not return to the next fetus depending upon its life contract. Afterall, it may have been the decision of that spirit to experience what an abortion feels like.

I agree with that. Souls will find a suitable birth if it they will it to be born. It is funny that the same people who denounce abortions are the same ones who are PRO executions of criminals. One should be consistent, at least.

I've never articulated my thoughts/feelings on this very well, but intuitively your description resonates with me. Do you have a similar description for suicide?
