87. How can I be a good parent and help my children and family?
You can use your talents as a parent, seeking the best means of becoming successful in your job of promoting your children’s well-being. (L8)
What higher calling is there than to be a ‘good loving parent’, more especially if you take as your role model the Divine Father-Mother Consciousness which is entirely directed at growth, nutrition of mind and body, healing of mind and body, regeneration of mind and body, protection in every form and the fulfilment of every need of mind, emotions, body ⎯ within a system of Law and Order and Unconditional Love. (L8)
As a parent ⎯ have you measured up to the Consciousness of your Divine Source of Being? (L8)
Think of families where emotional and mental abuse is rife. This is an abhorrent use of ‘mental power’. It rebounds to the abuser in many, many ways ⎯ ill-health, sickness, addictions, depression and loss of self-esteem. (L8)
However, do not use your brains, intellect, insight, knowledge, education as a platform from which to criticise, judge or condemn others who do not measure up to your own standards of efficiency or goodness in any area of your life. (L8)
At the same time ⎯ since to criticise, judge and condemn is as natural as breathing to the human ego ⎯ do not attempt to deny your perceptions of what might be improved. To do so is to deny the reality of the evolutionary process. (L8)
