Psychic abortions

Palden Jenkins, 1999

In the 1980s I performed a number of 'psychic abortions'. Only when requested. Doing this followed on from some years involvement with the home-delivery of children in Sweden in the 1970s. This work involved probing deeply into the inner honesty process of the mother or parents, a full appraisal and acknowledgement of the facts of their situation and of their perceived capacity to give a child a good life, and a full inner dialogue, without prejudice, with the child-soul in question. Such dialogue is not as difficult or obscure as it might seem - many aware parents have such intuitive dialogue, without perhaps giving it much weight, and this work is just a slight step further on.

In some cases, this process enabled the parent(s) to accept the child into their life. In other cases it led to a decision by the child to withdraw its life-spark and try again elsewhere, or, sometimes, with the same parent(s) at another time. This decision could work only if made jointly and equally, including positive commitments from the parents - either to welcome the soul at another time, or to support it in finding a new parent and situation, or even to meet it when it is incarnate.

This worked not only in physical terms, when appropriate, but it also led to remarkable emotional breakthroughs and, in some cases, it resolved a parent's emotional reservations or doubts allowing the child to live. The key decision rested with the child/soul, though not only so. In my experience this technique cannot work if the child/soul is 'not wanted' or being emotionally 'chucked out', and this is morally unethical too - it's more a process of mutual discussion utilising all of the same principles as any conflict-of-interest mediation process might engage, treating the child/soul as a fully responsible equal in the situation, and aiming for a win-win outcome. Children bring their own karmic blessings and resources into life, even if physically disadvantaged. Despite the conditioning or ideas of adults, child-souls are perfectly capable of fixing life-systems to support their progress - especially when the parents and other concerned adults allow/support it, and sometimes despite lack of support!

The salient assumption here was that a soul's life can succeed, whatever the circumstances, if that soul and its parents are deeply willing to go through whatever process is involved. Where there's a will there's a way. This decisive commitment needs making consciously and with feeling. Without wholeheartedness, or willingness to generate it, problems can occur.

I'm aware that the above might press some buttons. I have already been accused of new age eugenics! However, before reacting, please consider the moral implications involved in not taking such a route! Compare it with the way that abortion is currently carried out. Also, please assume that all concerned parties genuinely and compassionately mean the best - even if they might start the process in a vexed state.. If such techniques are used to force one person's will or preference, there will be a price to pay (and I would not participate in it either, for my own ethical reasons).

I believe that one-life spiritual ideology blocks resolution of the question of 'the right to life' - and of many other medical-ethics questions. No one knows the inner reasons, existing in their own right, which lie behind a soul's decision to be conceived, and to choose a specific set of parents. Therefore a key part of the process is to glean this from the soul itself. This then throws new light on the pregnancy situation which can resolve many dilemmas there and then. It can also reveal whether the child/soul itself might or might not have made the best decision in order to achieve its own goals. If it can see some advantage in withdrawing from life, it can then elect to do so. Frequently it can be the case that a mother or a set of parents might better manage the sought-after relationship in a future year.

Whatever decision is made (and this is open at the beginning of this process), the final decision, methinks, needs to come from the children/souls. It concerns what is the most realistically manageable and achievable evolutionary path forward, for them, and for the parents and for other closely-involved people, jointly and severally. As a family, it is within their ambit to come to a good decision and outcome. The 'abortion' is done by the child itself - usually within three or so days. Much of the physical pain a mother might experience is reduced if she, emotionally, is wholeheartedly supportive, without reservations. I would suggest that if reservations exist, dangerous physical circumstances might develop.

In my experience, pre-birth and immediately post-birth souls are well capable of making fully aware life-decisions, especially if supported through it. Judges and doctors can certainly clarify the mundane, general issues at stake, but in the end it is the child-souls who choose whether or not to take on the challenges before them.

But all this requires society to have a sense of reincarnation and the implications of it! Built into such notions are a realigned understanding of the nature of responsibility, life and its meaning, leading to a decreasingly neurotic relationship with birth and death.
