You Are Born With Every Gift You Need
Monday: How many of the things I fantasize about already exist in some form in my present reality?
In the spiritual, cultural, and traditional ways of understanding in Southern Africa, children are born with a clear mission. These societies consciously pay attention to their pregnancy milestones.
Why? Because it is understood that the fetus speaks. In this way, children are born into expectant families who had months of pre-planning to enable the newborn’s life purpose.
Particularly with sons and kings or chief heirs, dreams, prophecy, or revelations are believed to convey the birth stories of these members. This reality is related to the fact that the clans in the areas are patriarchal, ruled by kings and chiefs. That said, today, women and girls continue to hold influential social positions.
The African National Congress demonstrates this with the political party’s women league:
The same is true for the monarchies of Zulu and Eswatini, whose queen mother continues to lead the countries:
A relatable case study would be spiritually gifted southerners. For the most part, such children’s conception is pronounced generations ahead of their parent’s birth via prophecies, divinity and fortune telling.
Succeeding specific visionaries, especially medicines, foods, totems and such would be set aside for baby’s arrival. The important thing is to find a place for the child’s mother, explore and assist them in bringing the child from another world into life.
If an unborn craves any food type, then men and women in the village would ensure that there is appropriate and adequate food for it. If the mother encounters the challenge of pregnancy, she and others would ask a capable midwife to provide help from a distance (if needed) during that critical period of the child’s early life.
After successfully crying and entering here, the children carefully undergoes its naming ceremony. The traditions of family generations will also be activated to effectively integrate new family members into their secular experiences.
The mother will also receive medical treatment and emotional, physical, and spiritual remedies at this time. For example, she will avoid sexual intercourse for the first six months after giving birth. Children are seen as little gods with superpowers of their own with which they arrive to impart the living.
Till their dying day, children would have a community that helps them to walk into their individual and collective lights. In this way, generations are freed from the purposeless external search for life agendas.
That said, these good times have been disturbed by modernity, religion, and so forth. Positively, the fact that I have written on the topic this way is encouraging as it serves as evidence that we held to our truth, regardless.
Thank you for reading this work. I appreciate your time and ask that you may continually be as supportive to others too.
