Pre-conception experiences suggest a cosmic side of life that remains poorly understood
and rarely recognized today. Shrouded in mystery and hidden by the secret veil of the
unborn's world, a new paradigm is emerging about this untold story.

The predominant trend in science since the 17th century has been materialism, the
mistaken assumption that physical matter is the only reality and that all thoughts and
feelings can be explained as merely physical phenomena. If we are unable to test,
measure, weigh, or observe a phenomenon with a telescope, microscope, analyzer, or
cyclotron, we believe it can not exist. The human mind is assumed to be little more than
the biophysical changes of the neurological system.  The ideas and teachings of the
materialistic world view have a great influence.

All this helps to explain why we are left with such poor insight into our spiritual roots in
these challenging times.
A new, yet ancient and yogic understanding of human life is
embedded within the principles governing pre-conception phenomena. This is an
emerging paradigm with a new set of assumptions which more completely explain the
beginnings of our life on Earth.

Before we explore the new pre-conception paradigm, let's encapsulate the old
pre-conception paradigm with its outdated assumptions forming part of our shared world
view as taught by our parents, teachers, and society.

The materialistic pre-conception paradigm presumes that we have no soul. Accordingly,
we are pawns of genetic codes, traumatic incidents, societal accidents, random chance
and what our parents did or did not do. We don't really know why we exist and can't
realize the empowering knowledge of our destiny.

The
old materialistic paradigm boils down to five assumptions:

1.Heredity and social environment (nature and nurture) fully explain human life.

2. Memory and awareness arrive with the development of specific brain structures
    and a nervous system, where memories can be stored.
    We have no consciousness or sensory abilities before the brain exists.

3. Parents cannot communicate or bond with their children prior to conception.
    A newborn is a blank slate to be molded by his parents, teachers and society.

4. Biological conception is a random, chance natural event and marks the first step
     toward creating a human life.

5. Our 5 human senses give us an accurate perception of the world.

The Cosmic Cradle Pre-Conception Paradigm is "new" only to modern materialistic
thinking. It draws upon traditional aboriginal wisdom and gifted individuals and shows
that a human being is not a soul-less, biological life form, but has a deep
interconnectedness with the ground state of consciousness and with the scheme of the
universe.

The
new Pre-Conception paradigm contains five assumptions:

1. Parenthood begins long before sperm unites with egg.

2. Preparations for human life occur in the womb of the universe,
    a hidden realm filled with intelligent souls waiting to be born.

3. Our life plan, or cosmic contract, is designed prior to conception.

4. The boundaries of memory transcend our brain. Human consciousness
    exists independently of a brain and nervous system, even before the tiny fetus forms,
    and is a 6 sense self-sensory system.

5. Individuals with gifted awareness are aware of souls seeking birth
    and remember pre-uterine life.

The Cosmic Cradle Paradigm enlightens us about our proper place in the larger Cosmos.
We discover that the events leading up to biological conception are not accidental,
random processes happening within a universe devoid of consciousness and spiritual
intelligence.


                                                                                                                                                      

If you are hoping to conceive, it is highly recommended that you explore Preconception awareness
as optimal preparation for conscious conception and birth.  
The Cosmic Cradle is full of very current,
fascinating scholarly sources from philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and quantum physics
perspectives.

Gems of Tibetan Wisdom for Conception

Life is ongoing, and the spirit seeking incarnation is
attracted by the specific energetic quality of the parents,
even as they engage in intercourse.

The environment at conception is important;
it is recommended that a couple meditate on love,
compassion, consciousness, or gentleness and avoid anger,
attachment, jealousy, aggression, or fantasies.
