My son is nearly 18 months, and I also think he is a very daring soul to incarnate at this time (well the same could be said of all babies now I guess). Years ago I remember it was advised by some on these forums to withhold having children if possible, though of course it was acknowledged that every situation is unique. We absolutely planned on this child of ours, and we knew it was potentially fraught with danger given the world situation. Selfish some might call us, but in the back of my mind I somehow "knew" that it was the right thing to do or that it was my life purpose to be a father. The fact that my wife is 100% mother material helped in that decision as well of course. Also it occurred to me that perhaps this soul needed to incarnate at this time for his own unique reasons, and needed the environment we could provide to learn his lessons, so who were we to deny a soul of that opportunity when we were absolutely equipped to be loving and caring, responsible parents?
Amen. Whenever I get down about the terror of our 3D situation, I take comfort in the fact that 5D exists, and the silver cord between 3D and 5D cannot be tampered with by 4D denizens (with the caveat we actually go into the light, and don't linger around Earth). Yes we may have to incarnate again in 3D if our souls are not fully developed, but at least we get those "breaks" in suffering between our 3D lives.
