Is the Role of Planning Different in Our Fetal and Worldly Affairs?

We always try to represent our best version to the world, and along this effort, we always have two paths ahead of us: One path ends in victory, happiness, and various blessings, and the other in failure and misery. The path we take depends on our planning.  Planning is actually foresight, organizing, and management. Have you ever wondered why we cannot accomplish the things we want? Why do we want to save money or start a certain business, but we cannot? Why do we have no future plans and fail to achieve our goals? The answer to such questions relates to the role of planning in our lives. That is because to achieve a goal, goal-setting alone is not enough, the extent of our planning and effort has also a special role in this achievement.

You may have experienced attending an event or party where everything is well-organized and on schedule. From the delicious food and party supplies prepared for you, to the time they spend with you, the seating arrangement of guests, the venue choice, and more, all indicate that someone has skillfully planned this event.

The world we live in is also full of examples showing that a Creator who is the Master Planner is behind everything; rain-bearing clouds, the falling rain, the creatures being born, mines bringing prosperity to a remote impoverished region, the food being provided, a child being saved, etc., and perhaps the most prominent example we can give about the role of planning is the process of transforming a sperm drop into a complete human being in the mother’s womb. It is a complicated process, which is completed from almost zero to one hundred within nine months. It leads to the birth of the most multifaceted and complex being in the world. In this article, we will explore the role of planning in the fetus’s life. We aim to understand how the process of fetal planning unfolds and explore the relation between the planning of affairs in the world and in the hereafter.

Fetal Planning in the Mother’s Womb

We all know that although the life of the fetus depends on the life of the mother and the mother plays a crucial role in providing the fetus’s needs, the planning of fetal affairs in the womb is out of the mother’s hands. Based on signs, symptoms, or tests, the mother is only an observer of the process of the growth and development of her fetus. This fetus in the mother’s womb has a master planner that is aware of the fetus’s worldly needs and guides him step by step towards preparation for the living conditions of the world. This planner carefully arranges billions of cells next to each other with amazing order and complexity to create a complete and healthy being capable of adapting to the living conditions of the world. This being has the ability to use the countless beauties and blessings of the world, but this is only possible if the fetus obeys this planner and adheres to the conditions of the womb.

For example, a required planning for the fetus in the mother’s womb is his nutrition. The fetus receives oxygen and nutrients and gets rid of waste from his body through an organ called the placenta, which connects him to the mother’s body through the umbilical cord. The smallest lack of cooperation and coordination in this nutrition system can cause harm to the fetus or lead to the risk of miscarriage; as we know, this complex system operates without the intention or desire of the mother or fetus and observes all the necessary details to maintain the health of the mother and fetus.

Our world is not a realm of coincidence and purposeless events. Everything in the world has consciousness and awareness, and it is managed by a Master Planner. On the other hand, the world surrounds the womb and constantly manages it. In fact, if the womb loses its connection with the world for a moment, both the mother and the fetus will perish. So it is because of the existence of the world that the womb is alive and can accept the nesting of the embryo. The growth of the fetus, the nourishment of the mother and fetus, the formation of the fetus, and all the powers of the mother’s womb are provided through the world, and in fact, the world is the manager of the womb. That is, the life of the womb, the energy it requires, the management of its different parts, etc., are all done by the world. Of course, this does not mean giving independent existence to the world. In the next part, we will explain that the world itself operates according to the plans and rules set by God, and it is governed by Alam Malakut (Celestial Kingdom).

The Relation between the Role of Planning in the Womb of the World and in the Hereafter

According to the Law of Proportion, just as there is a relationship between the world and the womb of the mother, there is also a relationship between the hereafter and the world; this means that the magnificent realm of Malakut encompasses the world and has the role of planning it, just as the world manages the mother’s womb. All the energy and powers of the womb of the world are provided and managed by the hereafter and Malakut, and the management of all the stars, galaxies, oceans, creatures and so on, is carried out by the Malakut and hereafter.

In fact, if for a second, the hereafter takes away its provisions and attention from this world, the material world loses its material existence, crushes, and returns to its origin. It is like an image we have created in our minds, as long as we think about it, it exists in our minds, and as soon as we take our attention away from it, it returns within us. It is because in the realm of existence, there is no such a thing as annihilation. Nothing has come into the existence or has gone out of it; rather existence has always been pure and absolute, and only its manifestations change.

In this lesson, we discussed the role of planning in the mother’s womb. We understood that the world manages the womb and if the womb cuts off its connection with the world for a moment, it will be destroyed. According to the Law of Proportion, the relationship between the world and the hereafter also follows this law, and all energy and powers needed by the world are provided and managed by the hereafter; this means that the hereafter fulfills the role of planning the world.
