There are so many possibilities, choices, evidence, theories, and experiences. I agree that thought and intention are potent and powerful � probably to a greater degree than can be acknowledged.

Despite most evidence on the nature of how children are created, the creative process and outset itself wouldn�t exist without some element of mystery, or the unknown. I am no longer preoccupied with whether Mary was a virgin in the physical sense or not, but she does raise the issue of what is possible, as does the �miracles� Jesus was reputed to demonstrate. They are only termed miracles because most people do not have the alignment and understanding of how things work to the degree that Jesus embodied. For instance, part of me believes it is possible to walk through a wall, but part of myself is in disbelief of that � so I cannot demonstrate it.

I know from personal experience it IS possible to cross the bounds of physical space to connect with, sense into, and even assist/heal others. On a day-to-day level, I do this in subtle ways in my practice. I�ve also communed with souls (mostly that are personal to me) that have made their transitions, and once got to know my grandfather (who I�d not met in physical life) this way. Though it�s more challenging to get confirmation from the dead, I regularly get it from the living, so I don�t think it�s ALL in my brain chemistry. ;) I don�t currently �see� things because it would probably scare me, but I�m used to hearing a lot, even a language not commonly spoken. This is all �normal� to me now. (Four years ago, I would have thought that the person I am now was kinda freaky!) I have friends that share in some of these experiences, and some that don�t hear, but instead see. The point is not that I have experiences that some would consider paranormal, but that we see and experience that which we are willing and ready for. (And I�m not implying that anyone that doesn�t have the same experiences is any less enlightened! :) )

I believe the primary reason I do not already have a child is because I haven�t been ready for one, and not without a committed partner. I am not claiming an immaculate conception, Dave, but I would not seriously doubt it is possible if all parts of my being were in alignment with such. I have no real desire for such a conception, and so it has not occurred. And Becca � I do recall from one of my repro. classes there are ways to conceive w/o sperm, as you mentioned. Bless my teacher -- he covered a lot of bases, including details of his sex change.

There is certainly an intimate bond between mother and child. I believe that a mother can support the developing child, and also with her thoughts and/or conversation with the spirit of the child, release (terminate) the pregnancy.

Returning to an earlier post, what I heard, Dave, was an expressed desire for congruence as referenced to what I would term religious fanaticism. I totally understand and agree here! Fortunately, there are people all around that are spiritual and practice inclusion, non-violence, affirming and recognizing the divine nature of every person � regardless of their belief. I�ve just had to turn my tuner to that frequency. Same about 9/11 and even the tsunami recently � there is a lot of good and coming together and breaking of illusions as a result.

Last, coming back to the original post. Wow. What a rich opportunity we have simply by living in the moment, and not running the tape of �I�ll be happy when�� Simple, but not easy. I catch myself all the time (an not necessarily right away!) being preoccupied with this or that that is coming up, or feeling like there is more for me to do to fulfill my purpose (or even what that purpose is?), or wondering if this is �the One,� or if I�ll succeed and what that would feel like. While I choose to have and honor desires, I have a lot more fun when I avail myself to the gifts at hand. Otherwise�they simply pass me by�

Thank you Community for the opportunity to dip my toes in, and sometimes even take the plunge�
