Pregnancy & Childbirth

As a mother or father, you are the gateway for the future to enter and transform the world. Like a temple to the highest, keep your being clean and beautiful. Reach out to the highest when you conceive. And feed that new life not only with nature’s good substance, but with ideas, music, stories and love.

A Pygmy Model for Beautiful Parenting

What happens in our parenting as we begin to act from this harmonious image of human nature?

The Mystery of Parenthood

The Mysterious Power of Children-To-Be

"I'm not one to go around seeing things, visions or otherwise. However, I was now very curious. So I asked the figure who it was. I started to repeat my question when I suddenly knew the answer.

My Needs As a Premature Baby

Because your baby is so tiny, it doesn’t mean she or he will not become a usefully contributing member of society.

Lumpkin – The Baby Who Became Tony

Influencing Your Unborn Child

'Don't you see that you can create beauty in building beautiful children?' I asked her.

Fathers Are an Essential Part of the Human Environment

Yet, I remain, if not optimistic, at least hopeful. Social forces are powerful, but not quite as powerful as a loving individual.
