QUESTION:

A question from P.G., in California. She writes; "Last night, I saw on television where a pregnant woman, Carol Stewart, of the northern suburb of Boston, was shot in the head and her husband was shot in the stomach. Her baby was delivered and lived, but the mother died a short time later. Her husband survived also. The gunman who murdered her saw a car phone and may have mistook them for someone else. My question is: Was there a significant reason, or perhaps a karmic reason, why an entity would choose to be born of parents in such a violent manner? As I understand it, either we are allowed to choose the parents we are to be born to, or they are chosen for us. Can you comment?"

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that the individual child has no greater insight into its future than might any other entity having been born on this plane, except as might be developed in the individual’s own soul growth. Just because an entity is a fetus and chooses to be born of certain parents does not necessarily mean that the entity has all knowledge about what his or her fate will be in regard to that selection.

This Awareness indicates that events happen to individuals that are often unexpected and it is not indicated that entities in selecting their parents are somehow blessed with absolute knowledge of making the right choice or a choice that will satisfy their needs.

This Awareness indicates in this particular instance, the entity ran into problems even before being born. This is not necessarily unusual. There are many instances of this where an unborn child will have the pregnancy terminated through abortion or through accident or through miscarriage, or may experience some kind of trauma prior to birth.

BABIES THAT CRY IN THE WOMB

QUESTION:

A somewhat related question from M.N. in Nevada. He writes "I would like to ask for information concerning entities who, before being born, already start breathing in the maternal womb. I only know that the Theosophists or others call these entities "Nazarines." Is this a purely physical phenomenon, or is it a repercussion of a metaphysical aspect of the entity involved? I ask because my mother told me that she heard me crying in the womb."

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that this is extremely rare, that accounts on occasion reveal there are pockets of air involved and where there is some suddenness of movement or jarring action which causes an awakening to occur. This Awareness indicates that this is highly unusual, it being more a physical situation than that of psychic phenomena.
