Why aren’t people having children?

[dredger]

I found this on X and thought it was a very good take on the question.

In summary : because of technology, surveillance, etc ... or, in two words : suppression (or diminution) of liberty.
Sure, it's more complex, but i never thought about this way and it sounds quite true.

I hand't thought about that either personally, but yes.. I think there's a sense of being observed and that tends to change one's behavior. Interesting.

I also would think that at some level people feel that the world isn't a safe place to have and raise children. There has been a push in societies to demonize the nuclear family and that isn't aspirational anymore for young people, it's seen as a defeat and an end to life. Men and Women have been pitted against one another for quite a long time

I'm sure there's all sorts of hyper dimensional, and comic influences impacting that trend, but from another point of view, the creative force, so to speak, required to create life in a couple, has been also demonized and we're growing in a generation where love in a romantic setting ins't aspirational anymore, it has been turned into a zero sum game and without that love, children don't get created.

I found a nifty little map that shows the birthrates around the planet. Interestingly enough, those less connected to the global trends have higher birthrates.

It's a question that refers back to what Laura wrote:

The Kiss of al-Qahhār the Crusher: Love, Sex, and the Terrible Mercy of the Divine Names

How the Cosmic Mind wrote the Jamāl–Jalāl polarity into the bedroom, why the modern world is frantically erasing that sentence, and what happens when the Author insists on being read correctly.

In a dying culture that treats biological sex as a costume, fertility as a disease, and children as optional accessories, something ancient is stirring. The same Real that discloses Itself as both the Gentle and the Terrible is no longer willing to be edited out of Its own Book.

Using Ibn al-ʿArabī’s radical theodicy, Cassiopaean metaphysics, classical Taoist sexual alchemy, and the raw data of collapsing birth rates and broken bonds, this essay argues that the current war on sexual polarity is not a progressive triumph but the greatest 4th-density STS frequency-fence operation in recorded history.​

I am not sure that this a very strong factor - my money would be more on the dissolution of the nuclear family, traditional values and mounting oppressiveness of authorities.

I remember the early 80s in Europe, when NATO (or rather the US) decided to station some Pershing 2 nuclear missiles in Europe. This led to widespread fears of a nuclear war, widespread protests, and effectively, 1983 during the Able Archer military manoeuvres, the Soviet Union went full red alert, thinking that a nuclear war was about to start, and the world came close to a nuclear exchange.

But even then, seeing a potential nuclear annihilation on the horizon, the birthrate didn’t drop down significantly. At any rate not much more than it was decreasing already overall.

And of course our “friends from 4D” would have had their hands in the pie …

Transition from the 3rd to the 4th density, end of the major 75,000-year cycle; entities are incarnating less and less at this end of the cycle, which is normal. (Taken from what I read on the Law of One of Ra and Q'uo, if you're interested)

@dredger, isn't there a session in which it is stated a similar idea ("having kids and raising them in this world is a perilous task")?

(Unless it was a comment from a user, following up to another C tidbit!)
