(A Manifesto on Love, Awareness, and a New Parenting Paradigm)
“The world is not changed by structure, but by consciousness.”
Children Guided by the Soul is a spiritual reflection on the meaning of parenting from the depth of the soul — not from ego, control, or the pursuit of worldly validation.
This writing transcends social and gender boundaries, reminding us that true love is not defined by who plays the role of “father” or “mother,” but by the balance of energies within.
It is a quiet manifesto — an invitation to return to where love truly begins: in presence, in honesty, and in the willingness to heal oneself before loving another.
We have all, at some point, chased the world’s validation — even married just to fulfill society’s shallow standards of perfection. Yet in the end, it is often the children who become the casualties of what was built upon fragile foundations: relationships without awareness, love without depth, and families without the honesty of the soul.
The world is no longer about who is supposed to be a parent, but about how the balance of energies within can nurture a child’s growth. It no longer matters how extraordinary one appears in the eyes of the world if one has not yet learned to love with full awareness and the depth of the soul.
Parenthood is not about gender, but about the maturity of both masculine and feminine energies within. For in truth, most of the world’s wounded children are born not from the lack of traditional structure, but from heterosexual parents who have misunderstood love — mistaking attachment and surface-level connection for depth, projecting ego, pride, and superiority, and unconsciously reflecting their unresolved inner issues onto one another instead of building a relationship rooted in the soul.
My children do not need to grow up with someone who has not yet learned the value of their own soul’s vibration — someone who continues to trap themselves in cycles and relationships that drain their spirit. For such patterns only breed inconsistency and confusion, raising children who lose touch with their true worth.
My children must grow into souls of balance — between heart and mind, between feeling and intuition, between the masculine and feminine energies within them. Through this balance, they will learn to discern between what arises from ego and what flows from love, from self-respect, and from the rich inner values of their being.
They do not need to be perfect. They only need to recognize both the darkness and the light within them — to embrace both with compassion, to harmonize them, and to master themselves so that each side becomes a tool of wisdom. In doing so, they will see clearly: which wounds are born from ego — the hunger for control, superiority, validation, and the shallow standards of the world — and which wounds are born from sincerity — the purity of the soul and the tenderness of the heart.
For they are guided to live in alignment with the laws of the universe — the laws rooted in the purity of the soul — not the laws of man, which are often shaped by hidden agendas and the desire to control the world for the sake of superiority, as if surpassing the wisdom of the universe itself.
My children do not need to grow up with the spirit of fear, nor bear the projections of someone’s insecurity or failure to fulfill their dreams. They are not meant to be confined by boxes built from shallow human logic or standards, for they are souls meant to live freely — and wisely.
They do not need to carry the projections of others’ wounds, inner conflicts, or narrow doctrines that dim their light and disrupt the balance of their souls. For they do not live by the words of men — they live by the guidance of the universe, by the balance of the feminine and masculine energies within.
With heightened inner sensitivity, they are taught to feel rather than merely see; to understand with awareness rather than judge with shallow logic. And I do not shape them from my own unresolved wounds or inner issues, for I want my presence to be a space of awareness — not a legacy of unconscious pain passed down through generations.
They live from the purity of their parents’ souls — raised with the understanding that love is not merely an emotion, but a state of full awareness: the willingness to prevent our inner wounds from harming others, and instead to use them as mirrors for growth. In this way, they learn to break the chain of projection from old pain, replacing it with wisdom born from healing.
My children do not need permission from this world to be born with their soul’s mission. No one has the right to control how their lives will unfold. They are not raised with control, superiority, possessiveness, or hunger for validation. I raise them with love, with transparency, with presence — not only on the surface, but in the depths of the soul — with honesty guiding every step.
This is no longer the time to frighten homosexual couples who wish to have children. Instead, it is time to ask ourselves: why do so many “normal” couples bring forth and raise homosexual children?
Perhaps the universe entrusted such souls not for punishment, but for awakening — to dismantle humanity’s ego, superiority, and obsession with control and perfection. If the universe can entrust such children to so-called “normal” families, why could it not also grant heterosexual children to homosexual couples who live in conscious love and balance?
You do not need to cover a mirror meant to reflect your human fragility — for humanity itself is born to learn. If you silence your mirrors merely to protect your ego from collapse and to preserve your illusion of superiority, you are defying the laws of the universe.
Let them write, create, share love, and express their truths. For in the end, this world is not about concealing one another’s light, but about lifting each other’s soul vibration higher — not lowering it with negativity.
Because ultimately, the world is not transformed by structure, but by awareness.
And only through the awareness of pure love can children truly grow — not merely into functional human beings, but into souls who know who they are before the face of the universe.
