Accidental Pregnancies?

• Child from a Serendipitious Mystical Communion
• Mara and the Angels
• Kiki's Conception Awareness
• Mirror of the Future
• Full Moon Conception

Anne: I was taken aback when a business partnership in an investment company took a romantic turn. Michael and I harbored no serious interests in parenting at the time, yet for months, I experienced visions of a child and feelings of ripeness indicating that childbirth was pending.

I physically sensed ovulation on the day I conceived. I always feel on one side or the other an ovum snip or pop away -- a sharp little sting. I thought, "Oh, boy, I'd better be careful." Jokingly, during lunch, I cautioned Michael, "Stay away from me or get some protection." And just in case, I purchased more diaphragm jelly.

By 10 o'clock that night, we fell into bed after a straining workday. We were two tiny people in this massive, king-sized bed --- one at either end, with our backs to each other. I humored Michael before we fell asleep, "Now, you stay away from me." We laughed and settled into sound sleep.

Michael: Even with overwhelming fatigue, I normally have insomnia and restlessness, but that night I blacked out immediately. Three or four hours later, I remember my mind waking up and feeling I was in the middle of doing something. My awareness lifted up to the ceiling observing our two bodies below in the bed making love.

Anne: I awoke out of a totally deep sleep, with no dreams. I was no longer in my physical body. My consciousness filled the ethereally charged bedroom. I thought. "Michael is inside me, yet there was no sensation of his body weight on me or even his body having penetrated my body. His body seems to be several feet above me." It was bizarre.

All of a sudden, I realized, "Oh boy, I ovulated today and this is happening. Here we are! Here we go!" I felt the click. It was an inner ear sound. Conception had occurred. A rapid flow of soft, stimulating electrical current flashed through my nervous system. This fluid, soothing energy gently tingled. A subtle, bright light originating in my head and heart danced through me. It was astounding. I was charged with something extra and beyond my own experience. I had perceived the soul of the child I had just conceived. I just rushed.

The conception was like a marriage -- a communion of two beings that expanded beyond the physical body and human emotions. An expansive etheric experience. The young boy was ethereal spirit and fused through me. He was the special child I had been waiting for.

Michael: I sensed the child's soul witnessing the beginning of his biological life as a fertilized egg. The whole thing was clear. There was a lot of wakefulness in the experience, more real than real. We were three separate beings or energies, floating next to each other, meeting above on the ceiling.

A hole in the fabric of reality allowed us to be in at least two separate time/space dimensions. One perception was normal --- it was the middle of the night. The other reality was bright, like standing in light. Because it was a dual experience, it was difficult to pinpoint how long it lasted. Part of me sensed it as a brief moment. Another part felt it continued for hours.

There was some detail and clarity in forms. I recognized Anne and myself and the third presence who was wanting to join the party. This being explained. "I am coming in to be born." We talked about what was going on very matter-of-factly. A power welled up in my heart. Light and energy streaked through my body. Then, I blacked out. I awoke the next morning realizing that something major had happened.

Even a few days before, I had an inner feeling that something serious was coming. I had no idea what. Now it became clear that this was what I had anticipated.

I am uncertain why the conception transpired the way it did. One reason perhaps is attributed to his my reservations, fears, and doubts about bringing a child in. Besides that, we knew that Anne's nature is not to start out prone and primed and ready to go, to make love.

Anne: Neither of us recall physical contact leading up to this event or the sexual act being physical in nature. Because I had been raped in my early twenties, I need a feeling of emotional safety, security, and trust in the man before my body responds to foreplay and is available for physical union. My body must be prepared for sexual intimacy. This barrier is removed when I feel that the man is loving me as an expression of his tenderness and not as a sexual interlude for fun. I wasn't consciously aware of any of that leading into love-making. It was unbelievable to wake up and be in this experience. I don't know how my body got primed.

Besides this personal need for emotional bonding, there was also the factor that many times, Michael would be sexual ready and I would not.

It's far out that my prime sexual experience with the father of my child was not physically satisfying. I have no physical recollection of an orgasm. It was charged in other dimensions. Our mating had an ethereal sensuality. The sexual interaction may have been structured and instigated by another entity or our Higher Selves. This sexual act was real and yet, we both had been sound sleep and fallen asleep several feet away from each other.

I later realized that this was the spiritual communion of lovemaking. There's an etheric and emotional communion in love making. It is not just physical. We both had etheric, spiritual, and mental clarity. We perceived and recorded the experience with our mental faculties.

Day after day passed until my menstrual period was nine days late. I took a home pregnancy test and put the vial on a table in my meditation room. When I returned to find the results, I felt ecstatic. And I had been a person who had been afraid of childbirth and putting it off. There I was age thirty-four.

Michael was in disbelief and wanted a doctor's confirmation. Yet, I felt it. My breasts were swollen and sore. Garlic, coffee, strong spices, perfumes, and deodorants made me nauseated.

My awareness of conception served as a profound initiation of this incoming soul. Spiritual experiences are grace, gifts from God. To experience that perception was purely a gift. I couldn't help but bow down. I had been given a blessing. I was aware of conception on the most vital, subtle level rather than of a mundane level where a woman has her period and then "Oops," she doesn't. It taught me what procreation is and the magnificence of God manifesting his creation. That inner vision of being consciously involved in the ritual of procreation, this ceremony of birth in its initial spark form, healed old scars and removed fear.

During my seventh month of pregnancy, I read Harold Percival's book describing conception as mystic marriage, a high communion experienced by mother and child. Percival's book rang true for me. It talked about "Conception of the High Born" -- souls with high consciousness experienced by the mother as this electrical current.

I value every pregnancy after receiving this inner gift. If I had experienced this earlier in my life, I could have helped single, pregnant women who were troubled. They have many alternatives. Nine months is a short time to be taken care of by friends or in a home. Many families would gladly love that child if the woman didn't choose to be the actual mother.

Anne and Michael's experience sheds light on two theoretical aspects of mystical conceptions:

It seems that an intelligence connected to the unborn child has knowledge of the ovulation's precise timing. If the pregnancy is to occur, precious potential for the unborn soul will be lost if sexual union waits twenty-four hours. The windows of opportunity spur an important, critical event. Serendipitous sexual intercourse!

Even more fascinating is Anne's perception of a sudden electrical change within her body, perceived also as a click, at the moment a cosmic spark of intelligence is magnetically attached to the egg at the instant of fertilization. Anne said it occurred not as an audible click, but rather an intuitive sensation. One can speculate as to the unseen intelligent forces involved in attaching the spark of life to the fertilized egg.

This life-giving cosmic spark is unknown to modern science, yet persons such as Anne perceive this microcosmic happening. Fertilization is biologically known to be the union of sperm with the egg so that the normal human complement of 46 chromosomes, or DNA, is restored, but this may only be part of the story of embryonic life. Without the vigilance of the life-giving spark to catalyze and energize the fertilized egg's step-by-step, molecule-by-molecule and cell-by-cell growth into an embryo, the biological life within the fertilized egg would be unable to sustain itself solely from an egg and sperm. Naturally, every baby born has been divinely sparked from the moment of conception. And so life is no accident.

Anne and Michael's conception experience awakened them in the middle of the night. That means the couple did not consciously initiate the sexual act. According to Anne, she experienced instantaneous conception.

Alicia: I feared motherhood the second time around due to a lack of fulfillment in raising a child in a former marriage as well as deeply ingrained fears due to childhood experiences. At forty-one, I felt terrified of having another child.

Cooper: Alicia and I were not planning to start a family. We would one day, felt good about it, but had not thought of "when," except for "sometime later." We were using the rhythm method of contraception and had gone through some tense times when Alicia thought she was pregnant.

So when did our daughter Mara arrive on the planet? Hey, I was asleep at the time of conception! Well, no, it wasn't an immaculate conception. We'd gone to bed after 10 PM. I was in bed first and had fallen asleep quickly. It was not a deep sleep. It was a twilight zone of sleep. You know how sometimes your body falls asleep, but your awareness remains on the surface.

Alicia came into bed and was laying down. Something woke me up enough that got me kissing her. It was almost a cursory sort of kiss and cuddle as if I neglected her -- which was not the case at all -- and I thought, "Oh, I have to make some contact."

I was not fully awake in the beginning. My body awareness became more lively and I started kissing and cuddling with Alicia who was almost asleep. It was not long before I was on top. When that happened, there was a thought, "Let's make love." It was like some other force coaxing me. The lovemaking was most unusual because it was so gentle and passive.

As our lovemaking progressed, my intuition told me, "It is the middle of Alicia's menstrual cycle and could be a dodgy time." Normally, when I come near Alicia and it is a dangerous time, she is screaming. However, Alicia was not protesting so I let it pass. If she is not complaining, then what the heck? I did not mention that I thought it might be risky -- I'm a coward when it comes to facing trauma.

With a blase air, I said to myself, "Well, if its meant to be now, so what?" I knew that, if left to me to make the decision, I could die without issue. So some angel blocked Alicia's memory and another angel was whispering in my ear. I was prompted into producing Mara.

That night and the next morning, I felt that we had created a body for a soul to enter. I'm not one for flashy experiences. So whatever cosmic forces stirred and directed me were lost on my dull consciousness. Mara and the angels had decided that now was the time. Her soul wanted to get on the planet and she pushed for life.

Even though Alicia experienced a pre-conception communication with a daughter seeking birth several months earlier, she had lost track of her menstrual cycle:

I thought that I was safe for another week. I did not have a clue. It was just a fog. Cooper and I were out of it. I knew if I became pregnant I would want to know when the child was conceived. Well, I did not record it until I realized that I was pregnant.

Kiki: I had passed forty when we conceived a third child. My husband and I had been careful about using contraceptives. So one morning when I sensed the soul hovering around us, I warned, "John, if I get pregnant, it is your fault." He said, "Oh, once won't hurt."

I was so sure that I had conceived a child that I took a pregnancy test two weeks early. It showed up negative. I thought, "I know I am pregnant, but maybe I'm wrong." A week later, the test turned out positive.

Sage: From a young age, I knew I would marry Darien and we would have three sons. There were times I wanted to back out because I knew the children would mirror everything that was unlike love within me and needed to be healed. So I did some tap dancing around motherhood, "Maybe we don't want three children. Maybe we just want one." It took courage to say, "Yes" to three. It is a real trip to share a body with somebody. So much womb-time is when you are exchanging at the deepest level.

We had been married three months when I had a total knowingness that it was time for my first child to come through. Paul pushed to come in: "I am ready, I am ready, I am ready." It felt right to me. Even though I did not verbally say, "Okay, let us do this," I agreed in my heart: "Let us do it. Let's go for it." I was ready. Darien and I had been friends since junior high, then lovers, then we got married. My sisters were having babies. Twenty-one felt old enough and right to me.

On the other hand, Darien was a university student and wanted to wait until we had more income. So I can't say that it was agreed upon by both parties. Darien was somehow manipulated into this. He was unconscious about it and afraid.

Our conception of Paul was fiery and passionate. I had my diaphragm in. I felt a slipping around kind of energy near the ring of the diaphragm. It felt right, good, and exciting because I was totally prepared to have a child.

But pretty much the pregnancy came through as, "Oh Darien, guess what? I am pregnant. Well, I tried. We were careful. We did everything we were supposed to and we got pregnant anyway."

Paul's birth and conception set up a pattern that has repeated itself in our family relationship. Paul and I like to "go for it," whereas Darien tends to "wait." Paul has always been persistent, domineering, controlling, and insistent and clear about what he wants. He has a strong personality and obsessive-compulsive, addictive type energies, "It is my way or it is no way.

Penny: There was a unique radiance and a light about me that only occurred on the full moon nights when John and I conceived each of our children. My whole energy changed. It was impossible not to have sex. John commented both times that I was radiant. It was obviously a specific moment and the purpose was clear.

With my first daughter, I was aware of conception on the level of consciousness within twenty-four hours after sex. I felt a whole life shift, a chain reaction. It was an intense awakening, "I am pregnant with a child." Although I was married, it had been easy to focus on my spiritual life, but now our first child was coming and I would be drawn out into the world a little more. I was about to be totally transformed. That was a major internal experience.
