In this video Aaron Doughty explores why we may have chosen our own parents before incarnating, a concept he suggests many people forget. He frames life as a temporary human experience for an immortal spiritual being, using a game/dream metaphor to explain why we cling to reality and miss the larger purpose. He outlines three primary reasons for choosing parents: (1) to learn specific life lessons, illustrated with his own challenging childhood that ultimately spurred his spiritual awakening; (2) to experience and develop particular emotions or energetic states (e.g., higher levels of compassion and forgiveness), explained through a bus‑stop metaphor where souls select partners to teach them these qualities; and (3) to fulfill soul contracts that may involve role‑switching with the same souls across multiple incarnations, drawing on Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) research, which reports consistent accounts of people recalling why they chose their parents. Aaron emphasizes that recognizing these purposes can transform negative experiences into growth, expand consciousness, and reduce resistance. He offers a free guided meditation to raise vibration and help viewers remember these insights, and concludes with typical YouTube calls to like, subscribe, and engage.

This video will show you 3 reasons that you may have chosen your parents, but maybe you've forgotten. I'm going to share with you ways of remembering this and how you can use this in your life to really let go of any resistance and be who you prefer to be. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, I'm going to be sharing with you 3 things that you may have forgot as to why you chose your parents, understanding at a deeper level more of who we are from a spiritual spiritual point of view. And these are things that I believe that we all forget. And I think there's a good purpose for us in forgetting it because it's almost like we have at a deeper level logged into a game. And if we knew— this is kind of a metaphor— but if we knew that this was a game, maybe we wouldn't take it as serious. Maybe we wouldn't even perceive it as real. And it would be kind of like when you wake up from a dream and you're like, oh, that was just a dream. There's not, you know, that wasn't real. And that would be kind of the same thing, but in it you would actually feel like disassociated from everything. So I think that the purpose of us believing so much in, you know, the experience that we're having and having the kind of experience that we are is that we do find its validity and we do believe in it and that it is absolutely real. And that's why many times we forget these things about ourselves. We forget that we are an immortal spiritual being having a temporary human experience. And that's why life can be such a great thing, because as we start to connect to more of who we are, we transcend all those lower emotions. We transcend all those perspectives that said, I'm separate from everyone else, or those positionalities or points of view that no longer serve us. And we allow ourselves to then feel and tap into more of who we are. I believe that one of the purposes in life is to awaken to who we really are. And part of that means that we just simply have to let go of the conditioning. Of how we've been brought up or, you know, just how we think about ourselves. So the first thing and the first reason that we chose our parents but may have forgotten is that we wanted to learn certain lessons. Now I know this can be hard to hear and let me first off say I get, you know, I did a video that's starting to go viral right now on 3 things that we forgot or 3 things that we agreed to before we came, before we were born into our life. And there were 2 or 3 comments that said something about, you know, I'm some type of privileged person and I probably had an amazing childhood and had a whole bunch of money. I grew up with an abusive stepmom who used to beat, you know, used to beat the crap out of me. And what I learned from that was it really got me to go within because at 15 years old when my dad divorced her, it was such a different world. You know, I went from being completely controlled, not allowed to have friends, not allowed to eat very much. I was really malnutritioned. You know, and just kind of like, kind of being afraid of the whole world because it's like, you know, I wasn't allowed to have friends and interact. So it was kind of like I was all new into the whole scene of like mid-high school. And what I learned to do though is how to integrate back and how to like, you know, all of a sudden I'm allowed to have friends, I'm allowed to do things like a whole new world. But there was a little bit of resentment that was inside me for a long time because I was like, why did all of this happen from when I was like 9 years old to 15 years old? What I realized is that led me and that created a lot of pressure inside of me for me to years later go through my spiritual awakening. So that was something that in a way, even though it seems like a very negative situation, I was able to transmute it in a way to something that was positive. Now in general, I believe that we do choose our parents, that there are certain lessons that we want to learn, and that a lot of times we can come out stronger if there were negative things. Now maybe you have a great relationship with your parents and that is something that you just grow from. You have very supportive parents. That could have been part of what is fundamentally called a soul contract, which I'm not going to get too much into that in this video. If you guys want me to make a video on that, go ahead and comment in the description box or in the comments below if you want me to make a video on soul contracts. Um, I like to make these videos as practical as possible and as relatable. So, you know, when it comes to these eccentric ideas, I like to make it something that it's very, you know, much more relatable than I guess some of the other content we make here online. One of those has to do with just knowing that when it comes to our parents, we had intentions of things that we wanted to learn and that because of that, the negative things can be transmuted into positive things. Now the second one has to do with learning certain emotions and why we may go through certain things with our parents. Now this was an analogy that I actually heard when I was at a seminar recently, uh, by Dr. Sue Mortar. Gave a TED Talk. She talks a lot about vibration and energy, and in it she explained that this analogy of before coming to Earth, we are in a way sitting at a bus stop. This is just a metaphor, but imagine you're sitting at a bus stop in some higher level of awareness or some higher consciousness, higher dimension, whatever you want to call it. Imagine that we're sitting up there and we're like, hey, let's— I want to have a human experience. I want to go to Earth and I want to have this kind of experience. And what we do is we say, you know what, for my soul's growth, I want to learn a level 7 of compassion out of 10, out of 1 out of 10. I want to learn a level 7 compassion, which means that I'm going to have to go through certain life experiences. So at that bus stop, you're looking around at other souls that maybe, you know, and you say, who is willing to teach me a level 7 compassion? Who is able to teach me a level 6 forgiveness? And people, you know, people or souls will raise their hand and they are kind of destined to play certain roles in our life and the life that we have of being, you know, in physical, being on earth. And the idea is that what we then do is we agree with these souls to come to earth to play certain roles, to teach us certain things in our life. Now I know that's kind of like a funny metaphor, but it makes it a lot easier to understand that at a deeper level there's always a higher level of consciousness that we can get from the negative things that happen. And when we start to really tap into that, we start to really transform ourselves. So these things could have been certain emotions that we want to learn, certain states of being, certain states of consciousness that maybe it helps us through. And when you start to see the relationships in your life as that, having that kind of potential, that's when amazing things can begin to happen. Because when you tap into it, you start to feel completely different and then you start to realize that everything has a larger purpose rather than just in the moment. So think of your life and also in the same way you might be present to the moment, think of it in a, larger aspect of why certain things may be happening and what are the lessons that you may be able to learn from it and also the emotional lessons from it. Now I'm going to— the third one, I'm going to introduce you guys to Dolores Cannon who actually passed away. She has like 17 or 19 books or something like that. Her books are really, are really amazing and she does what is called QHHT, which is called Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, which is a certain type of hypnosis where she can get people where she was alive, she's able to get people into, I think it's called a symbiotic state of consciousness where their, their conscious mind completely gets out of the way. And then what happens is there's like the subconscious mind is able to come through in these deep levels of hypnosis. And it's interesting because she's done thousands and thousands of these sessions with people and her books are just transcripts of her talking with these people and they're just compiled in such a way for different topics of things you're interested in. But she has traveled all around the world and she's talked to thousands of different people. And it's interesting because many people have had very similar experiences when it comes to talking about— it's like their subconscious mind comes through. It's like their higher self comes through and talks about why they incarnated at this time. What are their purposes in life? Who were their parents and why did they choose their parents? And it was interesting because sometimes people that maybe didn't even believe in this type of thing that were under hypnosis would come out of the hypnosis and kind of believe they couldn't believe that they actually— the words came out of their mouth, but it was all on recording. So that happened over and over again with so many different people of recordings of these people talking and their higher self or their subconscious mind coming through. Now there are a couple of key points here I want to point out from Dolores Cannon's work, and the first off is that we do choose our parents, that there is a certain intention, there's certain soul contracts we have, and there's certain purposes of why we may have chosen certain life paths and certain things in our life. Now, one of the consistent things is that when it comes to choosing parents, many times we choose parents based on people and souls that we've had in other life incarnations. Now, this isn't always true, but we may have had switched roles with our parents in different lives. You may have been their parent, you may have been their grandpa, their grandma, you may have been a cousin of theirs, a brother. They may have switched, you may have switched roles in some ways because sometimes of letting go and redoing karma. But the idea is that as we start to look into this, we can start to see that maybe the roles were switched at a certain point and there could be some type of learning lesson or something that we can at least allow things to happen. We can see things in a much deeper point of view. So the idea behind this is understanding that there are certain things that are a larger aspect of our life that when we start to shift our perspective to that larger point of view, that we can start to feel completely different about the perspective because we can realize that we are an immortal spiritual being having a temporary human experience, and that when we really begin to tap into that, we start to feel different. We start to have a more expanded point of view and everything begins to change. Now I've created a free MP3 guided meditation for raising your vibration. It'll help you to change your natural set point so that you feel better a majority of the time. It's something I've created for absolutely free. You can download it in the description box below. This will help you to remember some of these things about yourself and to really tap into the larger aspect of who you are. So with that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
