Introduction

Is this life all I have? Where do we come from before we are born? Where do I go after I die?

These are some questions we have been pondering on for some time. In this article we share spiritual research on the time we are in the womb after conception.

Does the subtle body come to some type of waiting station before taking birth?

There is no specific waiting station where the subtle bodies assemble before birth on Earth as they do after death. However the subtle bodies from higher positive subtle regions like Heaven or above and from lower negative subtle regions like the first 3 regions of Hell , first move to the Nether region (Bhuvaloka) before entering Earth region.

When does the subtle body come to know about where it is going to be born?

The subtle body comes to know about where it is going to be born at the time of conception.

How does the subtle body know the time of conception?

Considering the following, it is a wonder how a subtle body knows the exact time of conception and that a certain zygote formed after conception is indeed meant for it.

• There are billions of subtle bodies in the subtle regions.
• From the billions, only one gets to be born.
• Parents may be trying for many months before a conception takes place.

Therefore considering the scale and magnitude, the way a subtle body is precisely matched with a particular family, is that in the subtle world everything functions according to vibrations and frequencies. According to the give-and-take account with the to-be parents, a subtle body is unconsciously drawn to the womb at the time of conception by the vibrations of the give-and-take account.

When does the subtle body actually enter the foetus?

During the first three months of pregnancy, the subtle body is mostly in the subtle region where it came from and may or may not frequent the womb. After the third month however the subtle body is more likely to reside in the womb. The time of entry in the womb may vary from subtle body to subtle body. This time of entry is generally after the third month but can extend right up to the 7th month.

How does the subtle body enter the foetus in the womb?

The subtle body can enter the womb in many ways. 70% of subtle bodies enter through the skin of the fetus and 30% through its various orifices like the mouth, nostrils etc.

Does the mother-to-be know of the time of entry?

Only mothers-to-be above the spiritual level of 70% are sensitive enough to experience the entry of the subtle body.

Does the destiny for the baby-to-be start when it enters the mother's womb or when it is born at 9 months?

The destiny of the baby-to-be starts at the time of conception.

Complete past life consciousness

The subtle body in the womb has complete adult consciousness corresponding to the earlier subtle region it came from. This continues right up to the time of birth. Even at birth there is a momentary consciousness of the previous life in the subtle region and then the veil of Maayaa (the Great Illusion) dulls the newborn’s previous-life consciousness. As one gets more involved in this life one slowly forgets about the past life.

Can a woman attract a more advanced and spiritually pure subtle body in her at the time of conception?

Yes a woman can attract a more advanced and spiritually pure subtle body during her pregnancy through her spiritual practice.

What is the effect of mother-to-be’s ongoing spiritual practice on the foetus?

When the spiritual practice of a mother-to-be results in sustained spiritual growth above the 40% spiritual level she also begins to affect the foetus in her womb positively. This is because a mother-to-be above the spiritual level of 40% radiates saattvikta (subtle basic sattva component denoting spiritual purity).

The most important benefit of spiritual practice apart from spiritual growth is that it burns the give-and-take account that can cause major obstacles in pregnancy.

Summary
• The life journey begins at the time of conception. However the subtle body enters the womb only after the 3rd month.
• The embryo/foetus is very vulnerable to harmful influences from the subtle realm. Major events like miscarriages and stillbirths are predominantly due to spiritual root causes.
• Only spiritual practice can alleviate problems where the root cause is in the spiritual dimension.
• By spiritual practice the mother-to-be helps to:
- protect the pregnancy from these spiritual root causes of problems
- attract a more spiritually pure subtle body into the womb.
