Many of you are wondering about how we view our romantic
relationships, and if we have marriages and families like yours in
Telos.
Since we live very long lives and our potential to have large families
is great, careful planning for the benefit of all is of utmost importance.
Unlike surface folks, no one is allowed to start a family in Telos
until they have gained the maturity and the readiness to initiate
such an important step. We do not allow children birthing children,
so to speak, like you do on the surface.
We have two different types of marriages in our society. The first
one is a " bonded" type of marriage where two people who
are attracted to each other romantically decide to unite in a bonded
marriage union that is not considered necessarily permanent. They
get married and live together to learn from and with each other,
to grow in maturity together, to experience life, and to enjoy each
other to the fullest. And this, they do only as long as they are
both deeply happy and satisfied with the relationship. There is no
obligation for them to stay together, and these unions are not necessarily
a lifetime commitment.
Couples engaged in a bonded marriage are not allowed to have children.
The raising of children is not the primary goal of these marriages.
These marriages may last anywhere from a few short years to several
hundred years or longer. Birth control is not an issue for us. The
birth of a child is considered a very precious and grand event for
the incoming soul, and a child or a baby is conceived by "invitation" only.
We have no such thing as an unwanted pregnancy in our society. A
woman in Telos would get pregnant only by intention to do so, and
only after serious and well-planned preparations.
In a "bonded" marriage, couples may end their relationship
at any time they wish, without hurt and obligations toward each other,
and start another relationship if they wish. This way, no one stays
in a relationship for the wrong reason like you do on the surface.
Every couple in Telos is very happy because there is no reason to
stay together unless there is a deep love and satisfaction to be
with each other. It would be unthinkable for any of us to consider
staying in a relationship unless there is total harmony and fulfillment.
These marriages are considered part of the many experiences that
life and evolution offer. When a couple feel they have come to the
completion of their time together, they thank each other for the
time they have spent together on the path of life, and they move
on; always remaining very good friends with each other thereafter.
All they need to do is to apply to the Lemurian Council of Telos
for dissolution of their marriage, and it is always granted without
any dilemma.
Our second type of marriage is a "committed marriage".
It is only in this type of marriage that couples are permitted to
have children, and apply to bring a new soul into the community.
After a couple has been involved in a "bonded" marriage
for several decades or a few hundred years, they may decide that
they have experienced each other long enough, they know with absolute
certainty that their love for each other is so flawless and long-lasting,
that they now wish to make a lifetime commitment to each other.
Since we have become immortals, a lifetime commitment for us would
normally mean a very long time in our society, extending into thousands
of years. In a committed marriage, there is no more dissolution of
the marriage that you would term a divorce. It is no longer an option.
For this reason, a couple already in a bonded marriage for a long
time has to be very sure of their decision toward each other before
they would choose to engage in what is considered a permanent relationship.
They stay together until such a time that one of them or both are
ready to move on to a higher realm of evolution or service. In this
case, one or both would leave Telos to go to the planet or level
of their choice. This would happen only after a very long time of
their life together, and after their original family has matured
to a few generations.
In this type of marriage, one, two or sometimes three children may
be born. The gestation period for the mother-to-be is 12 weeks only.
The couple has already lived together a very long time in a bonded
marriage. They have done and accomplished whatever they wanted to
do and experience together as a couple. They are now ready for the
next step, having gained enough maturity and know-how to hold such
a privilege and honor of staring a family if they wish.
In our society, we have no orphans, nor children who are abandoned
or raised with the difficulties a single parent has to face on the
surface. Our family life is so carefully and wisely planned, that
our children never have to suffer such traumas as being unwanted,
neglected or abused. Each child is considered a precious gift from
God, loved and honored not only by the parents, but also by the whole
of our community. Our civilization is fully aware of the sacredness
of the role of bringing forth children, and this undertaking is never
taken lightly and without appropriate training. Only to our more
mature and more evolved people is the privilege of bringing forth
children granted, giving birth to noble and more advanced souls;
thus perpetuating an enlightened civilization.
