The drive to make more….

As you may remember from my previous blog... we have just embarked on our next 7 year cycle....
It is interesting for me as a non-sacral being, the drive to have children has never really been there. And as with all open sacrals, my sexuality is conditioned by my partner.
Generators are the lifeforce of the planet. They are the ones who carry the drive to ‘make more' and of course not all Generators are driven to reproduce, that lifeforce is for building and creating and has as many different expressions as there are Generators on the planet.

I have never been pregnant before, I've not tried to get pregnant, rather ‘contraception' not 'conception' has been my main focus...Until now I had never felt ready to have a child. Leo and I were together for a few years before we married and of course when we did marry, the word ‘baby' was on everybody's lips... Societal conditioning assumes if you marry, you will then have children, often straight away! That was the furthest thing from both of our minds. It's not that we didn't want to have children, we just didn't want to have them immediately.
Our minds have enjoyed picking out names for our imaginary children almost from when we first met. We'd be the last ones sitting in the cinema after everyone had left, watching the credits role at the end of the film, looking at names. It's entertainment for the mind - just like watching the movie. However the decision to actually have a child was made through our individual Strategy & Inner Authority.
People eventually lost interest in us procreating, though there were a few die hard relatives like my mother. Others just assumed we couldn't or wouldn't have children, so they eventually gave up and decided to leave us alone.
When I informed close friends and family at the beginning of this year, "Leo & I have decided we would like to have a child", everyone was mildly surprised.... and then when I told them I was pregnant they were wildly surprised!

best wishes

Wow Virginia - it's spooky how much of this I can relate to (and get an ahuh to!). Neither of us felt the 'drive' to have children and we are both Generators. Even our 'die hard' relatives had kind of given up :) It just had to be the right timing for us. We used to watch the end credits at the movies too looking for possible baby names....it was fun.
