Experience description:
I
decided to have an abortion after 9 weeks of pregnancy. It was a hard and awful
decision to make. I sought help from an organization called FIOM which
specializes in guidance when it comes to making the choice to continue or stop
the pregnancy and guidance after the choice. The woman who helped me called
Kimberly made it clear, by mirroring me, that stopping the pregnancy was the
best choice. Two weeks later I was in the clinic with my best friend Suzanne. I
had doubts up to the point that I had to leave if I didn't choose. What made it
hard was that I didn't know beforehand that I would have to take a pill first
and wait for an hour before they could do the abortion. Knowing I would
consciously experience this preparation time made me feel the deepest distress
and I experienced heavy waves of despair and panic. Somehow something in me
hardened and after crying uncontrollably, I calmed down (went numb) and
continued the procedure. When it was my time to go in the operating room, I was
in full acceptance. I had a wonderful experience during the operation of being
on a beach in Hawaii and doing yoga (I do not do yoga). I came out of short
narcosis feeling fuzzy and light. When I laid back in bed in the clinic, I could
feel a presence in the room gazing at me. It didn't come from one specific
place, it just was. The room was pregnant with this gaze and I felt such a
immense, unconditional love. I remember thinking that that which I was pregnant
with was now everywhere, it felt like it didn't leave me, but was enveloping me.
It was everywhere, but everywhere seemed still too small. It was everything is
probably a better way to describe it. A voice without a voice said to me that it
was I that needed to be born. That it was all about me being born, it always was
about that. I never ever felt so loved and so at home, I was finally home. Home
was all there was, I couldn't imagine that I ever not felt at home, since I felt
and realized that it was always there, that is was everything. Then I saw the
face of Maria, she had her eyes closed and a smile on her face. Then she
disappeared again. I went home with my best friend in the afternoon. During this
period, from being pregnant until the abortion, a little voice in me, what
didn't feel like my voice, kept on saying: "Do no worry mama, do not worry
mama".
That night, I was lying in bed with my daughter of 3 years old in her room. Both
sleeping. All of a sudden I woke up, it was the same gaze that I felt in the
clinic that was in her room. I felt the same incredible love, the same messages
came to me. It also told me without a voice that the soul I thought I'd lost,
was only a soul when it was in my body. The moment it wasn't there anymore it
became all, it was everything. Again I felt at home, I knew that I didn't have
to worry, suffer or be sad. All was good. There was not even good, all was love
and service. It became so clear that the gaze was about unconditional love and
being of service. I couldn't believe that this gaze loved me so much even though
I did such a horrible thing.
In
the weeks that followed I lost the connection to the gaze and got into a state
of immense grief. I felt so incredibly sad. My ex boyfriend (the father) often
played piano music for me from Yiruma so that tears could flow. One evening,
after three weeks or so, I got into the worse state of grief in which I felt
that I had to made an unfair choice. It felt I didn't have a choice and it felt
so unfair. I completely lost myself in despair and started screaming and crying
and hitting the table. This lasted according to my ex half an hour or so. The
next evening I felt the gaze again. It made my heart skip a beat. I knew it was
trying to communicate with me. A film of past moments all past by with such a
speed, that it was not easy to follow. But I remember the memories of me
watching with my little girl a few years ago a program on which an interview
took place. The guy who was being interviewed said something that really touched
me, but knowing I would not remember it if I didn't write it down, I wrote it
down for later. After that I completely forgot about it for years. At the same
moment a little car that make music was standing a few meters from us. It only
made music when you stirred something and it wasn't easy to do that, because it
got stuck. At the moment of the comment of the guy being interviewed, the car
started to play a song by itself. This is the reason I remembered the situation.
It was in the same period that I remembered a Hindu priest telling me a year ago
that I had to leave some food offer for my grandma and my son that I'd lost when
I was 21. He couldn't have known that, but he felt his presence and that this
soul was still with me. I did it once or twice, but kept forgetting. My little
girl though, even though she was 2 at that time put her food in the basket of
the little music car every day. It seemed a bit odd to me that she did, but I
didn't pay that much attention to it, since little children often hide their
food in places. It began to get my attention the moment that the car started to
play music by itself. Fast forward to the day after the evening of deepest
despair. I remembered this moment, the program, the music car. A month before we
moved the music car to my ex his practice where we were that morning. We would
move to his practice for a little while until we could move to the new house on
Acaciastraat. But we didn't, we broke up before the abortion and me and my
daughter would go into the new house without him. t told my ex that I felt the
gaze wanted to communicate the comment I had written down years ago. But I
couldn't remember. He said, maybe you have written it down in your notebook on
your phone. I have so many notes and different folders on my phone, that I just
didn't know where to start. But I started, knowing it was of importance. At
exact 23:11 I found it, it said: To live is to survive unfair choices.
Two weeks later we went to a Monkey Zoo, the three of us. Next to the Zoo was a
beautiful park we had never visited before. Again the grief played up, this time
not that heavy. When we went to the park, we rested at a children's playground
where my little girl could play. When we left, I felt a strange attraction to a
place in between a little road and a bushy area. When I walked to this place, I
found a little grave stone as a monument for unborn children. I was a bit
shocked, because at the same time there was a sound check in the park and they
were playing Yiruma as my ex did so often for me. I looked at where we were and
the little square next to the monument was named the Acaciasquare, same as my
new address. Then the voiceless voice said; 'there is no time, no space. Your
life exists of choices, all is always here, what you choose is what you'll
experience of it'.
A
few weeks later my daughter went to her biological father for a two weeks
holiday. I went with my ex (we decided to be in a spiritual togetherness and not
frame it anymore as a relationship with expectations) for two weeks to Italy.
One day I felt the grief again, a few hours later, the voiceless voice said to
me: 'You'll have a son'. A few weeks
after that, without wanting or it being possible to become pregnant, I heard the
little voice again: Do not worry mama, do not worry.' I was in shock. Couldn't
believe its because it wasn't possible. I didn't wanted to get pregnant again
and relive the horrors of before. But the little voice added: 'Do not worry
mama, you can choose between two thoughts, the positive one and the negative
one, both are subjective. Choose the positive one and trust.' I was pregnant
again and I listened to the little voice, not to worry and choose the positive
thought. The day before my first echo I dreamed it would be a twin. I woke up
from this dream and a feeling of freedom washed over me. I never ever thought or
anticipated this, and for some strange reason this freed me of my own ideas and
identity. The next day I dismissed this dream, because it seemed too much like a
dream and after feeling. But it was a twin and again the feeling of freedom was
there. The voiceless voice said to me: 'true freedom lies in the not knowing'.
This was the moment I knew that I needed to let go of the spiritual togetherness
and step out of fear and enter the filed of not knowing. My life completely
changed after that. Since then I felt carried and always tuned in into some sort
of objective field of awareness where all is still and everything else perceived
as an expression of this flow, even my personality. 13 weeks in my pregnancy the
gaze came back. The voiceless voice told me that life was all about
unconditional love and service. All of a sudden I understood the mystery of
life. I only had to gaze the same way the gaze gazed at me, with the same
unconditional love, to others ad everything around me and be of service. Not
getting from, getting somewhere, just this. Wow, I felt so much gratitude for
this message and insight and feeling it in my whole being, this truth.
Now I am 28 weeks pregnant and the little being in my belly, my son, is
connecting to people around me. From out of nowhere people I never really see or
speak to, but feel good, start to email me telling me they feel a deep
connection to the baby in my belly. I and they cannot explain how or why, but I
decided to follow their invitations without any expectations. A woman recently
shared to one of my best friends that she feels she needs to be at my delivery,
and she also do not know why. This happened after we hugged.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. It feels so good to
finally share it with people who will understand and hopefully know others going
though the same magic and sacredness as I. I hope to be connected to others and
share with them the flow I am in. It is for the first time I have shared what
happened without feeling grief. Also because I know it is the same unconditional
love that is in my belly.
With love,
Kimberly
