From Dolores Cannon’s Teachings: Soul Contracts and Family Across Lifetimes
Dolores Cannon’s past-life regression work reveals a spiritual truth: souls choose their life circumstances intentionally, and this includes choosing their parents. These decisions are part of pre-birth planning, formulated in the spiritual realm to ensure each soul receives the precise conditions for its growth, healing, and evolution. The Mumma Nest
In her philosophy, the parent-child dynamic is not always striped to familiar roles. Souls commonly agree to experience education, challenge, or emotional growth via family roles that might shift across lifetimes. For instance, someone who is your parent now may have been your child or sibling in a previous existence – and these roles may continue to rotate as part of extended soul group agreements.
The purpose behind these relationships is not confusion, but carefully designed opportunities – for learning, forgiveness, healing, and reunion as intertwined members of a soul family. This fundamentally reframes our view: familial bonds are fluid, spiritual, and evolutionary.
“As perfectly imperfect as they are, we chose our parents for a reason.”
– Dolores Cannon
Insight & Reflection
- You didn’t get your parents by chance. You chose them – even the ones who challenged you – because that soul contract contained what you needed to evolve from within.
- Family is eternal. Soul connections may shift across roles: parents, children, siblings, guides. The outer labels are secondary to the shared presence.
- If healing and love feel challenging now, remember it may be part of an ancient agreement made in the spiritual realm for your highest growth.
Your soul – and your family’s souls – are far greater than this lifetime’s identities.

Modern Parenting Through the Lens of the Soul
Today’s parents have forgotten their soul contracts, instead of giving their children the most essential thing – energy, love, and care that makes them feel secure and strong in life – end up passing down the broken reality they themselves live in. A reality full of sickness, endless work, stress, slavery, worship of money in place of God and death.
This is what we call upbringing. But instead of truly raising a child, it often conditions them into becoming “useful idiots” for the system. Parents act like the long arms of the octopus – feeding their children into a machine that teaches them to fear punishment, obey authority, avoid dreaming too much, and stay complicit with what teachers and society demand.
I see parents like the conductor on a train. She shows you your place, explains the rules, then disappears. That’s how parents’ function: temporary guides for this life only. Our true parents are Mother Earth and Father Consciousness, the living universe itself. Human parents are meant to protect us only in the early years. Their real duty is to give us love, food, and safety until we can stand on our own.
But in today’s world, most parents do the opposite. They sacrifice their children to the system. They teach them how to be sick, how to run for pills instead of finding healing. They say, “don’t do drugs,” but push the “legal” drugs of the system – pills made from oil waste, poison disguised as medicine. They don’t give real protection; they don’t transmit real energy. Instead, they teach how to survive in a prison world, rather than live freely, they pass down trauma and brainwashing, like products of an MK Ultra experiment, raising their children into obedient soldiers of the system.
That’s the tragedy: parents who should be protectors become destroyers – blind zombies handing their own children to the same cage that trapped them.
“Parents are fellow souls on the same journey. When they forget the contract, they serve the system instead of the child.”
