So as a LOA practisioner Paul, how would you counsel little girls to avoid such a fate for themselves. What type of thoughts should they desist from thinking?
And cot deaths too, there are many of them and they are particularly traumatic for parents. So how would you counsel babies to think more positively? Or do we accept that we cant reason with babies and, frankly, its pot luck that they happen to not kill themselves with their own thoughts before they can be reached by reason?
Or does LOA only 'kick-in' after a certain age? |
Ok, to answer this I'll share with you a realization I had recently that I'm not going to get into TOO much as it would take too long to explain and I'd rather focus that energy into writing an article on my blog about it, but essentially you have to realize that our spirits have ego's. Meaning, you have to first believe that when we die (biological death), our spirit/soul that's left-over outside of the body has an ego even when it is outside of the body on earth. So, if you believe in the concept of re-incarnation, it's not like you have an ego full of fears as a body, and then you die and become a pure/perfect/loving spirit and then you re-incarnate as a body and are fearful again. I believe that our fears/ego stay with us throughout our lives as different bodies.
If we became perfectly enlightened spirits the second we died a biological death just because we've shed our body shell, then the secret to helping all spirits become fully enlightened would be to just devise a weapon that could kill everyone on earth in a painless-instant or some crazy thing like that. And really the most enlightened thing for a person to do once they realize the spiritual world exists would be to committ suicide, but I don't believe that solves anything because your spirit continues on with an ego.
So, I didn't fully explain it all, but just assume I'm correct above. Then that would mean that when we are born, as a baby, we already have an ego. In other words, we could have been a 80 year old woman in our previous lifetime and it's easy to accept that we had an ego then, but now that we've re-incarnated as a baby it's hard to first realize that we have an ego. I believe we do. So, the baby itself has fears from all their lifetimes and if they were afraid of water in their previous life, they will be afraid of water in this life as well, unless they overcome that fear. So, the little girl who "attracted" the rapist, possibly had a fear of that, even if that fear was subconcious. That fear is coming from her spirit which might be 10,000 years old even if the little girl is only 5 years old. Does that kind of make sense?
The reason we have a hard time believing a baby can bring on pain onto themselves is because we see a baby as being innocent. We kind of look at it like "Well, that baby didn't do anything to anyone! Why would it deserve to be abused!?" But if you believe that that babies spirit was alive before the baby was born, and maybe led thousands of lives before, then you'd see that it has brought it onto itself.
Think of it this way. Hitler commits suicide. He goes back to the spirit world and then re-incarnates as a little baby girl. At 4 years old she gets killed by someone in a drive by shooting. Does that baby girl deserve to die in your eyes? Does the "slate" get wiped between re-incarnations? Does the baby girl (really it's Hitlers spirit) deserve to live a long life full of prosperity and happyness when in the last lifetime it committed so much crime against others etc.?
So, if you believe that every baby is born without ego, without fear, with a clean slate, without the smallest ounce of negative energy in them to even worry about things like drowning or being raped or being beaten, then LOA would make no sense when babies get abused. If you believe that our fears, our ego's, our energy travels with us from lifetime to lifetime, then it's a different story.
How would I counsel the little girl? Counseling might not be what's needed at that age. I might instead try to connect with her spirit through meditation and try to help it heal so that it doesn't create such negative events in the little girls life. The little girl's suffering in this physical world is just a projection of her spirits suffering in the spiritual world. THat's what needs to be healed.
I know i'm not offering every answer, but hope this helps to offer one perspective of how you could look at it.
