Dare to Be a Giver of Life When the umbilical cord is cut, a baby begins to breathe on her own. She inhales the breath of human life. Until then, she is In Utero and dependent on the life source of her mother. As in all of human life, I believe an intrinsic spiritual metaphor exists in this part of life. As spiritual beings, we are connected to God source. But how? Some spiritual seekers say a golden string unites our spirit with our body.

The closer he got, the more still I became, until he walked right into my body. From then, I was transported to a place that looked as if there were elders around a large table. They had heads and wore robes and appeared to be floating. In the center of the room was a larger disembodied head that I imagined was God. I spoke, “I don’t want to go back into my body,” as the feeling of being out of my ego existence was miraculous and peaceful. It felt as if I had no weight and no burdens. One of the elders answered me, “But you must go back. Remember the promise you made?” In that instant, I was taken back to a time when I was just spirit. I deliberated with the elders and considered ...
