as I sometimes think I am odd devoting my whole life for work and not
having neither a man nor children :-)"

better how we function."

Another said that they do not agree.
They said that mothers play a leading role in sustaining the planet;
motherhood often helps a woman to blossom into unselfish love;
and children are so cute! (Some of them - some of the time?)
She also said we don't know - maybe many souls want to be in the physical
at this time; and this is the way it is meant to be, and we should not
interfere.

Could be true. And, we could be on the edge of extinction - and need to
'interfere.' (Not that it matters, if we go I am sure the whole thing will start all
over again -  and we are not such a great species anyway are we.)

Science tells us that there may have been many species like us before,
and they have extincted themselves. Many species do this.
They keep expanding until they either die themselves out, or take the leap
into a new level. It seems that we are a species that has taken several
leaps already.

(Just discovered in the desert of Australia - rock paintings that are
older than the Aborigines - so much older than eighty thousand years. And
that is still not very old by the standards of the universe - even the
little we know about it.)

As said, not that it matters either way. Nothing seems to really matter.
All a game?

It seems the thing, when a species dies out, if they come back at all,
they usually come back at the 'lowest' level and start the process all
over again.

Whereas, if the species takes a jump to the next level, it builds on all
the experience it has gained from the past. More fun?

Have to look deeper into this this possibility...
Of course there are always wonderful exceptions, and, generally, take a
look - often when a woman has a child something in her dies. On one level her
life is over. Seems a chemical maybe released to disconnect from her
individuality - in order to devote her life to bringing up that child.
(Men do not seem to have this.)

Many studies support this. One I found very interesting. When they gave a
Deer a tranquilliser when it was giving birth it did not then take care of
her offspring.  It seems the pain released a chemical that brought attention and caring.

As said, maybe this is the beginning of the end?
Woman devoting themselves to beings who are going to devote themselves
to....

To survive a species has to be creative. Very. And jump.
And woman are The Most Creative. Men are just the ones to carry out the
innovations. Could be as the saying goes?:
"Behind a Great Man there is always a Greater Woman." ?

Generally, men are afraid of women. That is why they have done everything
they can to suppress them. (That is one thing men have been quite good at
- so far.)  To see it more clearly, just take a look at time-loop with the Muslim
man/woman situation.

(There is an exception - noticed how Prince Phillip always has to walk
behind the Queen? Yet even there, a King can pronounce his wife as a
Queen, but a woman cannot pronounce her husband as a King.)

What practical can you do? Check your priorities.
Check out all the information that comes your way and whenever you feel a
contraction - check it out. Almost certainly, resistance.
What I am attempting to share - is information I have been
given/ brought-through about the times we are in.   Crucial.

(I do not see as my function to get you to see other possibilities from
the ones you have been programmed with. I am just sharing what comes, and
having fun.)

Science is now seeing that our thoughts do have external consequences.
So no action is action? In retrograde?

Once again... being in the moment. The maximum potential is just being.
And if you have not yet discovered that, just watch those negative
thoughts -  not to support or suppress them.

That sort of thing...

Other resonses:
Hi Paul,
after reading your mail on the topic of women I had a few things coming up
that I felt to share with you.

It doesn't happen very often that I feel the need to comment on but
tonight there was certainly quite a bit of energy there.

I always love to see how things just fit perfectly into one another.
Since weeks I had thoughts around contacting friends from Australia,
including you and Sabine, to let everyone know that I am pregnant again.
And then this mail about encouraging women not to have children.
Very funny how that works.

Instantly I thought now I am not going to tell him but actually it feels
important to share a few things that have come up since reading your
post.

After years of giving people readings I found that every single journey,
either man or woman, is so unique and different to one another that I was
never able to generalize anything.

Because every soul needs something different in order to grow and wake up.
I had desperate woman over 40 with such a strong desire to have children
and it was not meant to be for them this lifetime. Which was always very
upsetting news and I certainly didn't make any friends.
And then there are woman that take lots and lots of precautions to not
getting pregnant and they still fall pregnant.

(Because its the last thing they want to have a child) And yet it still
happens and it's exactly what they need.

So for me there has never been a straight answer to something like that. I
just know for some women it is a very important experience in there life
and for some it doesn't.

My mom beliefs that the only real purpose in life is to have children.
I don't agree with that at all.  And now me.

To have a second child hasn't been an easy decision but once the decision
was made mutually from John and my side we didn't even had to try. It just
happened straight away and no one of us thought that this is possible but
it was. I know that soul for a very long time and she has been with me for
years and now it just happened and she is with us.

It is not easy to explain why we said yes because there where all those
logical factors that clearly said 'no' to the idea of having another
child.

But there was something else that was so strong within me that just knew
there is another child and if we would have made decision against it,
there would have been something incomplete within me. And saying that it
still doesn't really reflect the truths of these feelings.

As if there are no words for it and the mind can't understand it.
I also know to change to planet it takes each individual of us to make a
change and it starts with raising children with a different awareness as
well as doing great things for the planet.

My passion to work with children who never had the opportunity to grow up
in healthy family conditions has been there for years but through Enam it
became really strong. Therefore I going to study creative child therapy
early next year.

And even though I don't know how it all is going to work out but I slowly
start to trust that it is possible to do family and beyond.
Somehow a very nice support network starts to emerge around me and John
and I can see it is possible to grow within all of that.
John has been there much more than ever before and he is now taking care
of Enam half the time which allows me to do other things as well.
We can even see the differences within Enam too. He seems to be much more
balanced and relaxed within himself.
He is absolutely beautiful.

Even though I know for myself to have children is not my purpose in life
and at times it is incredibly challenging but it is a strong part of my
experience this time around and it helped me to grow. (still does)
I send you and Sabine lots of love and I am often in my thoughts with
Sabine and hope she is enjoying the final exams.
Very exciting.

Lots of love from a very cold and snowy Germany.
Verena
 
Paul responds:
Hi Love...

Thank you for sharing. Valuable perspectives. I like to get constructive
views.

And, I take into consideration that the mind always tries to find views
that support the way it wants things to be seen. The mind seems to have
the capacity to 'make' us see 'logically' anything the way it wants us to
see them. Justifying.

Of course I agree about generalising.
Generally speaking, generalisations are just that.
And, although there are the exceptions, I find there are always major
trends.

For many years I have been getting messages about the state of the planet.
(Which is not actually a planet - it is something that cannot be described.
Our minds could not understand a description even if it was presented.)

Of course I am not sure of what I share. I am not sure/don't know anything.
So, as I say, I am happy to get your, or anyone's constructive views.

For many years these things have come to share, so I share them.
So far, over the years, pretty well everything I have shared has taken
place.
And still more to unfold. Up to everyone to contemplate for themselves.

You say:
>Because every soul needs something different in order to grow and wake up.

Agreed, and I also know, in theory at least, that it is even possible to
have children and be available for what is now needed on this planet. And,
generally, I don't see that happening.Not at all. Almost everyone is so
self-centred on their own life.
Of course - that is the way we have been brought up.
The few women I know that have dedicated their lives to something bigger
than themselves are very, very exceptional beings- happy and fulfilled.

Incidentally, you say you have felt a soul waiting to come through you.
Not surprising eh.

Always appropriate for everyone? Generally, do you see these souls more
unselfishly aware and more important than the life of the potential mother
- or the planet?

Here is the main thing I see. Individually we are not going to be able to
continue with this experiment/experience in the same way. This phase is
coming to an end. So if we are to continue to evolve the species we need
to combine our energies.

This could be the main issue/lesson for us at the moment. Together.
We may need to let go of what we see as our individual needs - in order to
maintain/expand this dimension to a new state.
Then, if still appropriate we can take care of our 'individual needs.'
And maybe - that is the main lesson we are here for - to come together.
(Again.)

As I see it, once we have come together, for each other, our individual
needs will have been taken care of.
The way I see it - there are no 'individual needs' - we are all one.
The rest is illusion.
So maybe that is our individual need - to get that we need to take care of
each other?

And maybe it isn't like that. Maybe everything is perfect as it is and we
are here just for individual selves and we can all lay back, look after
just ourselves, and let everything take its course. Either way, no worries.

I have always had the sensation that there is always another level - of
everything.

I have no idea if this is true - although it is supported by every psychic
I have ever been to - that part of my being here is to wake up the people
who are here to wake up people - to this new phenomenon that is coming to
the planet.

For the majority of people, on their own, I see no way they are going to
wake up to a bigger community perspective - unless there is a major
world-wide catastrophe - or a general change in human consciousness.

And what does it matter anyway.
We are such infinitesimal beings in this universe.
(And at the same time, in another way - each of us is everything.)

However we decide to live, or not live our lives, whatever we decide to do
or not do, it is an experience - and we can always start again - in each
moment.

So as I see it, for our maximum potential this time around, certain people
need to wake up to who they are, and what they are here for. Quick!
And many of those certain people are the readers and recipients of IML.

And once again to share - I see it all as a game - nothing matters.
The only tangible thing seems to be what we seem to be experiencing in the
moment - and for most people, most of the time, it seems it is not much
fun.  And so, so much complaint, and so little gratefulness.

So to me - maximum potential of each moment.
Allow a feeling of being grateful and delighted with the moment, just as
it is... and, is there something else? Another level? Let's be available
for it.

Thanks again for sharing, and love to you all...
