The Transcendent Choice of Creating Life

 This article from author Hélène de Lauzun for The European Conservative is in line with the message of maternal feminism and sparked the following response of assent:

It is not only your physical body and earthly biological system that must naturally follow the design principles and phases of its own evolution. Your soul—your consciousness—existed before it was housed in the body you so easily call your own, as if you alone are its owner.

Perhaps this consciousness—this pre-existing energy, power, and essence—entered your physical form with the original intent to create other beings from the same source of consciousness. To bring that consciousness into physical form through loyalty, commitment, and emotional and psychological union between a man and a woman who are safe for each other. For such a beginning is the most fundamental step in our human nature.

We all have the right to choose for ourselves. Yet, often, we choose in ways that contradict our original state of being.

There is no field of science in our saturated, data-driven world that has not shown us: when we make choices that go against our biological design, consciousness, or humanness, we also accept the consequences of disrupting our natural human development.

We are inundated with this knowledge, so I spare myself—and you—the pain of listing it all again. Instead, I choose to focus on the solutions available to us amid the noise of the modern world.

No matter your beliefs, culture, or political views—you have a body. That body is pure consciousness and intelligence. Pay attention to its deepest needs. It longs to be seen, cared for, and respected as a whole.

Try this for a few days, weeks, or even months if you wish: pause. Pause long enough to truly listen. The body does not yell—unless it has been silenced or mistreated for so long that it has no other option but to scream through life-altering pain. But because you are a free human being, you have the right to choose. And I invite you to choose to become best friends with your body. Practice genuine curiosity. Offer it attention. Attune to it—and choose to remain attuned day in and day out.

Then, write in your journal what your body reveals to you.

And share these messages with others. Even if they feel deeply personal, trust that someone else is receiving similar sacred insights. You are not alone. The choice is yours.

It’s time to peel away the many man-made layers we’ve accumulated over time and remember who we were—beings of pure energy, intelligence, power, and consciousness—before, during, and after our bodies complete their mission here on Earth.

That mission is to embody intelligence within the physical form. To be one with the body is to be one with the higher power within it.

Just as Marie Kondo teaches us to thank our possessions before letting them go, perhaps we must learn to do the same with our current ways of being—both now and when our time in this life comes to an end.

We understand how humanity functions—how politics, economics, and social engineering shape our world. And we are free to align our hearts and minds either with these constructs or with the Source that began it all—a Higher Power, however you choose to name it.

Some people learn their soul’s purpose the hard way.

Candace Bushnell, at 60, publicly expressed regret for choosing her career over motherhood.

Such choices, though personal, can feel like a dead-end street for beings designed with immense creative and life-giving power. Choosing the natural rhythm of your lifespan development—your emotional, physical, and spiritual milestones—must be prioritized above any social, political, or economic agenda.

Dr. Jordan Peterson wisely said, “You don’t grow up until someone is more important than you.”

From personal experience—after believing in feminist ideals—I married at 30. I didn’t want children until a year into marriage because I planned to pursue my master’s degree. But the intelligence I am made of—my essence—communicated otherwise. It was time to create life.

I resisted this message for three days. But what exactly was resisting? It was the part of me shaped by man-made ideologies—what I had chosen to believe, attach to, and identify with. My original state came face-to-face with my conditioned self, and the conflict emerged from within.

It was an atmosphere I wanted to escape, and we all know how good we are at escaping. But after meditating for a few days, I chose to surrender and follow the message.

Now I have two divine children who exhaust me daily—but they have expanded my heart in ways I never imagined. They’ve deepened my wisdom, knowledge, peace, joy, and love.

To me, these are the highest qualities of life.

I want to say, “Try it and see if you like it,” but I can’t—because you cannot un-become a mother or father. You cannot return a child.

But what I can say is this: if you want to be utterly transformed—stretched, expanded, and awakened—then sign up for this path. Even if you don’t fully understand what you’re signing up for. And re-commit to it over and over again, especially on the days when you want to run away. Because those are the very moments your transformation and transcendence begin.

If you choose this path, know that joy, peace, fun, and relaxation will not look like they did before marriage or children. They will be wrapped in sleep deprivation, isolation, loneliness, and overwhelming moments. But hidden within those layers are the most powerful experiences: a child’s touch, their kisses, eye contact, babble, snuggles, and cuddles. These moments fill every cell of your body and theirs with sparks of joy invisible to the naked eye.

The choice is yours. Nothing worth experiencing is a walk in the park. Parenting is more like walking through Jurassic Park. The good news? Though it may feel like it’s going to kill you, it won’t.

And when you make it to the other side, your heart will beat with awe as you say, “I did that.”

And you can.

The magic lies in loyalty and commitment: to the voice of your body, to the heart and love of another, and to the well-being of the new consciousness that will come through your pure, lifelong devotion.
