Hi Dorothy,

That's a good point, Dorothy.  It brought a few questions to mind for me.

I'm wondering if we can make the same statement about the sex act, or test
tube fertilization?  There is no power in either of these to instill a
spiritual soul in the physical body.  Could we say then, that this power
resides somewhere else and is something that happens at some point after the
physical act (whether 'natural' or 'un-natural').

We could say that every physical body around the very earliest stages of
formation actually is souless, and it has the potential to remain soul-less
throughout it's life time if the inner alignment of reincarnating Ego and
body does not take place.

If this is a valid way to look at it then 'how the initial growth of the
physical body is initiated' may be of secondary importance to understanding
what brings the 'inner alignment' about and at what point in the life cycle
this occurs.

What do you reckon?

Best wishes,

Peter
