BIRTH
The process of birth shows its potential when a man and a woman meet each other, and feel each other's vibration. The curiosity is a period of trying to find out one's likes and dislikes. When one is lucky, one meets an opposite sex of the same wavelength as he is but of the opposite charge. Just like positive and negative electricity or north and south poles. When this happens, immediately they fall in love. It is love at first sight.
Sometimes, it takes a long time for the man and woman to become in love. It is because the fire of Love has not been kindled in both. They are of the same wavelength alright but not of opposite charges. The same wavelength enables them to be together without much fight. Their relationship is smooth but the thrill is not present.
Most often after long association, the thrill has waned. The opposite charge of the man and woman has averaged with the effect of diminishing the attraction through the years. And by this time, the offspring must be grown up to withstand the material storm to follow. But if they are of the same vibrations, smooth inter personal relationship will be maintained.
The opposite charges consist of sex appeal or animal magnetism that fires up the libido. The charges are also that of being thrilled by merely seeing each other. This opposite magnetism that strongly attracts each other is for the purpose of inducing both man and woman to procreate.
When a man and woman are having sex they feel as if they are in heaven. That is because they are experiencing the process of creation. Again notice there is timing of two kinds. Fertility of the woman has a cycle. Roughly, a woman is fertile ten days after the first day of menstruation and ten days before the next period. This is to give both the opportunity of exercising their free will: having baby or not. If they have sex on the fertile period then conception will most likely follow. Within that period, a female egg cell and a male sperm cell can fuse together. A soul starts to develop. This new human cell multiplies rapidly in geometric progression. After three months more or less it has acquired the shape of a man. Its soul by this time is fully developed.
After nine months the baby is ready to join mankind in the instant that the baby comes out from the mother's womb. The spirit aided by the Guardian Angel of the day enters the body through the nose into the brain. The child cries expressing his thanks to the Supreme Being for having been allowed to be born. Sometimes, there are two or more babies. The Guardian Angel then becomes quite busy, at that point aiding two or more spirits in entering into each baby.
Also, at that instant, the tempter you call the devil tries to help another gross spirit enter the baby. If his timing is right, then we have two spirits in one body. By the ritual of baptism, the problem is resolved. Only one spirit, the one brought in by the Angel is allowed to stay.
Man's spirit is a set consisting of primary spirit and of secondary spirits who are sent back to Earth to learn their lessons again, to retake the exams they failed the last time they were on Earth.
You can think of the spirit as a unit that can split like the atomic bomb and can fuse like the hydrogen bomb. It is a set of energies or parts that can be divided into infinite ways as they are continuous. It is like an interval of real numbers in mathematics. The part of a spirit is sent back to Earth to co-exist with other spirits in a certain body to learn the lessons it failed in the previous life. No wonder sometimes one is puzzled by the way he has acted.
No wonder some are more aggressive, others are kind. Some are sex-oriented, others are religious. Some are not consumed by the desire for material things, others are Earth-bound. Some are greedy; others who are of a higher plane are not materialistic. These tendencies are called in psychology as drives, needs, libido, etc.
But as to why brothers and sisters who came from the same parents do not exhibit the same drives, the psychologists cannot fully explain. To the mystic, the answer is clear.
Freud postulated that the brain consists of ego, superego, and id. The ego is the conscious mind. The superego is the conscience which is the moral watchdog of the individual. It tells the person what is right or wrong, the universally accepted moral standards. The id stores the basic instincts such as the need for food, shelter, and all material things including sex. The id is in supernatural science actually the lessons the spirits in him have to learn and overcome on Earth. These Earth-bound desires will try to overwhelm the body. And the will power of the spirit will try to reign over these energies, put them in control. Once controlled, the spirit will become promoted to the next dimension.
These different drives are to be controlled because they are the ones pulling the person to Earth, preventing the spirit from ascending the stairs of spiritual perfection.
How are these drives controlled? Sometimes by giving what it wants. Let us say food. At a certain period of time, the child wants nothing but food. But when he matures, he can live without much food. Fasting is a way of consciously detaching oneself from this need for food. There is also the need for wine. The drunkard has lost control of this need for wine. It has overwhelmed him. To the spirit-bound, he has tasted the wine, found it nice, but is not addicted to it.
The sex drive is strong. A child actually learns it earlier than you think. He finds pleasure in playing with himself until he finds out that it is more pleasurable to have a playmate of the opposite sex. Sex and the pleasure it brings have a common purpose: continuing the act of God's creation. But somehow, the individual has to be in control of his self. Some discover as life goes on that they can live without sex. Thus, they have learned their lessons. Sometimes, they regress. Finding that his partner gives him more pleasures, he looks for more exciting escapades. Eventually he stops. His libido has been diminished. That part of spirit, marked sex, has learned its lessons.
The quest for material things is another one. When one thinks of nothing except earning and acquiring properties, he is imprisoned by his desires for material comforts. Fasting and prayers are ways of lessening his hunger for material things. Giving alms to the needy or money to charity are means of lessening one's hunger for material possessions. The greedy are insatiable.
Power is the worst of all because the quest for it and the desire to hold on to it at all cost will lead to one's oppressing many people. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely is a saying frequently heard. When one tramples on the rights of others, tremendous karmic debts are incurred. Sometimes, payment cannot wait for the next life. One is made to pay while still on Earth.
