Funny
thing about people-if you leave them alone to be free, they take liberties;
they become wild and ruthless. Then, when they force you to lay down the law in
order that society may survive, you (the rule maker) become a despotic tyrant.
This principle marks the beginning and the end of all relationships and of all
cultures-it's just a matter of time. The only variable is how much time it
takes.
You
must seek the way that is truly FREE. Through God's grace you must become as
one who can never be ruled, simply because you don't need law. You must become
as one who cannot be seduced to rule. You must become one who can breed this
marvelous quality of freedom in your family. For without grace, a person is led
to the many lawless freedoms that eventually demand restraint and the spirit
that leads to all these false freedoms rises from the pit as reformer. Only one
who is perfectly free has the authority to set others perfectly free from that
prison system of law and lawlessness.
Since
the beginning, the oppressed have carried within them the natures of their
oppressors. All cowards are bullies; strong before the weak, weak before the
strong. The "weak" in your case are your children. Before them, it is
safe to be mighty.
You
carry into marriage the temptations of the past, with its "karma" of
misery and suffering. The plan for the soul's salvation is in the Light (where
meditation brings you). The secret of the law of Light is patience. The soul
living in the Light, never being intimidated and never intimidating, is saved.
The
patient soul does not respond, nor does it cause others to respond. Patience
never fails, nor does it cause others to stumble. Not submitting, it not only
cannot give up power but it takes (wrong) power and authority away. All the
valleys are raised and all the hills are lowered-all become equaled before the
Light.
Look
now at the lifestyle you have inherited and look ahead to what you are
compelled to project (impatiently) to your offspring. Therefore have compassion
upon your children; free them from this loathsome legacy of sin and death.
Let
me tell you more: your impatience is born of pride. It stimulates others to
grow pridefully-first as psychotic subjects of their "creator" and
later on as carriers; infectious, impatient, prideful perpetrators of the sin
of pride.
