Question: This is a question about having children. I know this has been addressed in previous teachings about one’s Divine Plan, where a person may or may not have children according to their Divine Plan. However, given that my wife and I do want to have this experience, and we have this feeling that this experience will challenge us more and force us to look at our separate selves, for some reason, maybe health related, we have not been able to have children yet. My wife has been wondering why there are people in this world that do not want children – like teenagers, drug addicts, etc., that can attract spiritual beings to take embodiment, but why are we struggling to have children if we can provide a more suitable environment for both us and the children to obtain growth?

Well, first of all, you should examine, have your health examined, and make sure that you are actually able to have children. And then you should consider making use of whatever fertility treatments and so forth that are available.
But beyond that, I also recommend that you look at your psychology. You are mentioning yourself that you think this will challenge you. Well, you need to look at whether you have some subconscious resistance to having children. You see a relatively common pattern that when a couple is trying to conceive, it can become very tense for them. And sometimes you have seen couples who have gone into various forms of fertility treatments trying to conceive and then, when they finally have had enough and let it go, then they can actually conceive. In other words, the tension around having children can block you from becoming pregnant. This is something to look at for both partners: What is your attitude to children? Do you have some kind of subconscious resistance? And then seek to discover that.
It is, of course, always possible that you can have an outer desire that is not in alignment with your Divine Plan, and that is also something to consider for people who are in the same situation. And then, of course, there are always what we can call karmic reasons why it may not be in your Divine Plan to have children.
There are things you can do something about, there are things you cannot do anything about. But what you can always do is look at your reactions, look at your psychology, seek to resolve as much as you can and come to a point where you can be at peace – whether you have children or whether you do not have children. And then if you come to a point where you can be at peace with whether you have your own children or not, you can also consider adoption. This is a way for you to provide a good home for a child that is conceived in less fortunate circumstances – which may had to have been for karmic reasons.
