1. Abortion and reincarnation? 2. A text by Bryan Jameison and Lee Boothby Abortion and reincarnation? This is a difficult question! And
it must under no circumstances be taken as an excuse to lightheartedly have a
child aborted! But if there
is reincarnation, it is obvious that the soul of the child will reincarnate
again… There is no reason, logical or whatever else, why an aborted child would
be excluded from reincarnation. Still,
abortion is killing! So: Can there
be cases in which abortion is tolerable? Certainly for
medical reasons, if the health and survival of the mother is at stake. And
probably few will object to abortion in the case of rape. Provided, of course,
that it is done in the first few weeks. But can there be more aspects to
consider? I am in no
way advocating abortion, but I am even less advocating that a child will have
an unhappy and traumatizing childhood. So what is the least bad? What is the lesser evil? Abortion or child
traumatization from a loveless and violent childhood? A statistic investigation in the USA was published in 2001
[1-3], which has shown that 15-20 years after legalization of abortion there
was a significant reduction of criminality and drug abuse. The explanation is
logical: If a woman (or maybe her environment) wants to abort, but is forced to
have a child she doesn't want (for whatever reasons), she would with a
high probability not become a loving mother. Her child would with an equally
high probability become a victim of waywardness and lovelessness, maybe even
violence and abuse (and the mother might not care about the latter happening).
Psychological consequences of such traumatization are quite obvious (and well
known in psychology)… Militant opponents to abortion
deny the validity of that report with arguments that appear a lot less logical.
(Strangely enough, some of them don’t refrain from killing physicians who
perform abortions, replacing what they see as a sin with a much heavier one…)
They seem to have never considered the consequences for a child forced to grow
up under above-mentioned conditions. If they in such a manner stick to every
letter of their personal faith and rather condemn a child to have a childhood hell, they
seem not to know what true love is… And they may make themselves to what they
don’t believe in: Unconscious executors of karma… One may rather object that a
mother or the parents could change their attitude during the pregnancy and at
the end accept the child with love. Here, again, we have to consider
probabilities. How probable is this in the individual case? If it is small, the
result could most likely be that the child will have most of the havoc and soul
injury… 1. John J.

A discussion of the above article. 3. Steven Levitt and J. Dubner: Freakonomics,
HarperCollins, New York, 2005. Bryan Jameison and Lee Boothby
wrote a booklet (out of print) about results from regression experiences
concerning abortion and reincarnation. Their research is included as a separate
file here. I have had a few cases where a
regression experience involved abortion. There is no
doubt that the act of abortion involves karma, and this in a double manner: It is found in regressions that
if a child is aborted (or lost through miscarriage), it may very well incarnate
anew with the same mother, if she gets pregnant again. Once a woman
came and said: “I cannot trust my mother! I don’t know why, but I feel distrust
for her”. She
soon
experienced herself as a male fetus in the belly of the same mother.
The
parents considered their economical situation to be such that they
wouldn’t
afford to have a child. She felt fear. The next scene was in a
physician’s
office. He filled out an application for abortion, and she felt still
more
fear. The application was granted. Then she was in the scene in an
operating
room. Her soul was already out of the fetus and she with anger told how
the
fetus was pulled out of the mother’s womb and thrown in a waste
bin. Several
years later the mother became pregnant again. The client’s soul
entered her
womb anew, and this time it was a female fetus. From the beginning she
felt a distrust for her mother, which, unconscious of the reason, had
persisted even
after growing up. In some other
cases, the soul instead incarnated with another mother. The experience of abortion is
traumatic for the soul of the child. But afterwards, there is usually rather a
feeling of relief: “Better this way than having to stay with a mother who doesn’t
want me!” A failed abortion attempt seems to be a heavier trauma than a
successful one. Once a woman
said: “I hate my mother! But I don’t know why!” She experienced how during the
pregnancy her actual mother tried an illegal abortion (with a back-yard
abortionist), which didn’t work. In that moment she began to hate her mother
and carried this hatred with the unconscious memory into her grown-up life.
Of course, we released this hatred and searched understanding for the despair
of her mother at the time when it had happened. I have had cases in which the
client, while reliving the time in the mother’s womb, said that he or she wanted
to die. “I want to leave and go back to where I come from” (the light
world). Why? There was a feeling of rejection, of being unwanted. It, of course, didn’t
work to leave and go back, since the client was born. This may make us suspect that several cases of
miscarriage could have been caused in a similar way, only that the child’s soul
was successful and could go back. Maybe this can even explain some of the cases of mysterious
sudden deaths of newborn children. If the client is a woman who has
aborted, it is nearly always found that she has feelings of guilt, even though
they may well be unconscious. So far, every woman has been allowed to release
these feelings of guilt. Why? When she had the abortion, she wasn't aware of the fact
that a soul was involved, or she was pressed to do it against her will from her
environment. In many cases the client said: “If I get pregnant again, the child
will live. I'll never do that again”, which is, of course, one more reason for
not needing to have feelings of guilt any more. The
pressure of the environment
can be remarkably nasty. In one case the client was a baby in the womb
of an
unmarried young woman. When she had to confess to her very Catholic
father, he reacted as follows: “Get out of my house! You are no
longer my daughter! I will
not tolerate to have a whore in my house!” – and he called
himself a
Christian...! If we fail in such a terrible way in Christian love when
such a thing
happens, and fail to give the woman and her child the help and support
they need, we have failed in the love that the Gospel teaches us! Not only the
woman, but also the innocent child is “punished” and traumatized through
such an evil behavior... This woman did not abort but the client – her child –
went through a trauma that had grave consequences later in life. In to-day’s world there should not
by far be the need for abortions in the numbers in which they are actually
performed (plus wanted but denied). The main remedy against them is appropriate
sex education and the use of condoms (or other birth-control means). Religious
groups which strive to control the freedom of the individual often try to forbid
both. Thus they share the guilt for all the abortions performed as well as for
all the children, which as a result of abortion denial grew up traumatized from
a loveless childhood and become criminals (red-handed or white-collar...), drug
addicts and the like – and for all the children who innocently are born
HIV-infected. May human beings mature to take due control of their own lives and
decide for themselves, instead of being manipulated “sheep” of such
immorally power-greedy organizations. For a discussion of sexuality and
the Bible, see this article.
