Promises: A Metaphysical Approach to Marriage and Parenting
()
About this ebook
Promises: A Metaphysical Approach to Marriage and Parenting provides a path to spiritual growth and a world ruled by the precepts of spirituality. Discover relationships between husband and wife and parent and child that are commitments established in the spiritual realm before a soul enters the physical realm. Understand the true dynamics between spouses as well as between parent and child and how those dynamics reflect the spiritual realm.
The chance encounters that so often lead to romance and the birth of a new family may not be "chance" after all. In this book, The Trances from William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, explains how family relationships begin in the spiritual realms through spiritual contracts and how important these family relationships are to mankind. Discover what truly transpires throughout the wondrous act of physical creation and how man, woman, and child are bound in ways that transcend space and time. Learn how parents can instill spiritual, moral, and ethical values in their unborn child to help mold that child so he may reach at-one-ment with his Creator. The LePar information gives some very practical advice about maintaining the well-being of the unborn child through controlling the mother's diet, environment, and emotional state. Also this book gives some enlightening information on the effects of discipline and the types of discipline that are needed to rear a spiritually based child. This book can serve as a valuable guide for today's families as well as tomorrow's.

The Awakening
For many decades psychic William Allen LePar has been nationally acclaimed for the array of psychic abilities he exhibits, particularly the Deep Catatonic Trance, a remarkable and rare phenomenon even for the realm of the paranormal.
While in the Deep Catatonic Trance, a gathering of 12 highly evolved spiritual entities known as The Council speak through Mr. LePar, providing our world with an incomparable and abundant supply of spiritual information. More than just a psychic (a unique and distinct personality in the world of psychic phenomenon,
said a professor of psychology from a major university), Mr. LePar has been referred to as a modern mystic by many of those who have encountered him.
Mr. LePar exhibited his psychic abilities quite early in life, but society's traditional reaction to such an unsettling aspect of human potential caused him to repress his gifts until adulthood. A series of unusual events triggered the state of Deep Trance, a dimension Mr. LePar had never before experienced, and he found himself catapulted back into the psychic world. For several years he conducted Deep Trance sessions privately while publicly doing psychometry, inspirational speaking, and psychic counseling.
Convinced that The Council's information held tremendous constructive potential for our troubled world, Mr. LePar in the mid-1970s invited others to share in the experience. SOL, a non-profit organization, was established to handle all aspects of preserving and disseminating the Trance information. The organization developed a complex computer network to facilitate its duties. The Council delivered well over two million words of material. Among its many responsibilities, SOL coordinated Research Group inquiries into new topics of investigation at Trance sessions, currently operates a speakers' bureau for appearances by SOL Associates, has a membership program that provides participants with library files of verbatim Council transcripts and maintains a frequently updated website - www.WilliamLePar.com.
Through the years, Mr. LePar's presentations on aspects of spiritual and psychic development as well as on The Council's profound information have been enthusiastically received across the country. He was in constant demand, and lectured and led workshops at colleges and universities, and for organizations such as Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, REST, the Western Reserve Awareness Conference, Star Stream Cosmic Experience, the Human Development Center, and various chapters of Aquarian Age Encounter. The subject of uncounted newspaper and magazine articles, Mr. LePar also appeared on many local and syndicated radio and television shows and permitted television taping of Trance sessions for broadcast.
In addition to his myriad activities, Mr. LePar worked with writers investigating The Council's Material and has authored the book Meditation: A Definitive Study.
An Introduction to The Council
The Council has often referred to themselves as spiritual beings.
We must remember that this is a very elusive term and can mean something far greater than what we normally have been taught to understand as a spiritual being.
In our finite minds we look upon spiritual beings as living beings confined in similar manners as we in the physical, and this is not the case with some levels beyond the physical. But in this expanded description of themselves (The Council), we begin to realize that there are levels that we can reach as spiritual beings that far surpass our present concepts.
Respectfully, I submit for your edification The Council's own personal description of themselves.
William Allen LePar
The Council Speaks of Themselves
After a soul or an entity has accomplished a certain level or degree of perfection, through whatever system that is the ruling belief system of that time, then the individual or the soul or the entity is elevated to a level wherein it is not necessary for reincarnation. Once entering the spiritual realms without the need to reincarnate, a growth period is undergone. Many steps of awareness or many levels of awareness are accomplished, many degrees of elevation, many degrees of perfection; until finally the soul or the entity has evolved into a state where there are no levels, no degrees, but begins to expand in love and awareness to the point where there is a total mergence or merging with other beings, where all ideas of limitations, all awarenesses of false limitations, have been done away with. Where the person or the soul or the entity then begins to realize its true unlimitedness and in that begins to expand greater and greater and greater, interweaving more delicately and more closely with all others and all other things, and in so doing grows closer to the Divine Himself.
Once a soul or an entity has reached this level, then they are in union with others, total union, yet completely individual, and yet completely united. This soul, this entity, has his own personality, yet delicately flows in and out and with the other souls but yet maintains its own personality, its own being. The soul, the entity, becomes more god-like in that it becomes a part of all things, yet maintains its own personality, its own being.
Once a soul has reached this level, then there is no name, there is no body as you would recognize or understand, but a more complete and unlimited Child of God; one who is so developed that no name could ever describe him.
That is the existence we live in, and if you wish to use confining and restricting terminologies as levels, then we would have to say that is the level we exist in. In all of mankind's history this level has never before spoken in the physical plane.
Even though we refer to ourselves as spiritual beings,
we use such statements only to give all who have come to us some idea to relate to, or some concept that they can relate to.
Preface
The Council:
"Becoming a mother or becoming a father is probably one of the most important spiritual steps or contracts a soul enters into in that they agree to assist in the fundamentals of spirituality. Those fundamentals being established in the newborn child. One should not take these positions lightly, but should take them with the highest purpose in mind, and also with the greatest joy in
