Do We Choose Our Parents?

A friend points out to me that Sylvia Browne claims through her guide, that there is a Hall of Records in the spirit world. I reserve judgement on this for no-one else I know of has ever claimed such a thing. In any case whether it exists or not, I cannot see what influence it would have on our choice of parents, as the guide seems to state. The choice of parents and I do believe we choose, is a personal matter, albeit we receive guidance. If it exists, the 'hall of records' is inside each person’s mind. Our sub-conscious mind knows what we have done, where we have been and how justly or unjustly we have treated others during our life here and in spirit. Thus do we become our own judges when we arrive in the spirit world.

Our chief guide, or Guardian Angel, the one who has been beside us longest, will also be aware of all the details of our past which is how they can guide us so lovingly. I have always believed we choose our parents and this has been taught by countless Spiritualists over the years. Because I believe this is true, I always tell people it's no use blaming your parents or grandparents for what has gone wrong in your life because you chose them and will always be personally responsible for yourself and all that happens in your life.

That is not to say we cannot be influenced by those around us or that we cannot receive help and guidance here and from spirit. We choose the parents we choose precisely because we feel their influence will be important to us. In the end personal responsibility, within the bounds of natural law, is the basis of our eternal life.

  1. If you believe that we do choose our parents, then what do you say to people who have grown up with Abuse? Molestation?
