Second guessing life
QUESTION: Masters, when I was 6 years old I decided that I wouldn’t want to have children. Now I’m 30 and my mind hasn’t changed a bit. I actually think about removing my uterus or having sterilization. I love kids, but not in a way of needing to have my own. I dream that I could help the forgotten children like child slaves, child soldiers and child prostitutes. However I have started to worry that what if there’s a soul waiting for being born into my life and not accepting that soul I would do bad karma for myself. I’m getting very anxious when I think about all this, though I know souls have multiple possible parents for themselves. The last 3 lives I have had here have went by as childfree. P.S. Can you give me any tips how to win the horrible dentist phobia I suffer from? I have no idea where it’s coming from. ~Maarit, Finland
ANSWER: A soul has complete freedom to choose whatever they wish to experience. If any contracts were made before coming to Earth you may choose to change the conditions. Worrying is just a reflection of the thinking that has been placed in your head by what others have said to you or what you have read. Your feelings are an indication of what your soul wants to do.
Your problem with your life is thinking too much. You live in fear. Not wanting to have children is a life lesson many wish to go through. You carry your desire to the extreme by thinking it is what you want to do but that you may want to change your mind, so why not make it impossible to change your mind by removing the organs necessary to create another life?
Do you believe you do not want children because you feel you have had prior lives without children? One has nothing to do with the other unless you convince yourself that it does. You also choose the beliefs by which you lead your life. Take responsibility for the choices you are making. Don’t let others dictate to you.
Give yourself a break. There is no such thing as bad karma. Karma is a concept of Eastern religions and is based on a revenge system. There is no punishment for the choices you make during a lifetime. The selection of parents is a joint decision between the incoming soul and the parents on the planet.
You feel you know so much about past lives: explore the ones where you were tortured by having your teeth extracted, where disease caused you to lose your teeth and were then not able to eat, and where your mouth was malformed at birth.
