In the summary of Master Monograph, Degree 3, No. 7 in the Initiate Section, AMORC says-

While in the mother’s womb, a fetus may be considered one of her organs, except that it develops by following a perfectly pre-established process worthy of the greatest respect and admiration.

AMORC’s assertion is backed up by the comforting thought that this hypothesis is based by ancient knowledge, namely that, of those interested in the issue-The most advanced believed that the soul of the baby did not enter the growing body until the moment of birth when it took its first breath.

AMORC further contends that modern science is synchronized with this idea because-

-the infant does not begin to vitalize its own blood and function as an independent entity until it takes its first breath.

We have here an argument for the existence of life beginning when the fetus takes its first breath resting on the flimsiest of conjectures- because the animation of the child through its own autonomy does not necessarily automatically mean that the soul is not resident in the body before that event. Too little is known about the soul- from a scientific point of view- to even measure its actual presence- to draw this conclusion.

I discuss some of this in my book, AMORC UNMASKED, in which I protest mounting an argument for abortion on these types of assumptions. In this Monograph, it is clear that whether you read to a fetus in a body or visualize its growth, you are not directly speaking or influencing the soul, which, until the propitious moment, is just hanging outside the body, waiting for its first act of breathing.

Fetus, foetus, AMORC
