If
your child is in trouble, it is essential that you separate him from his
friends so that he might recover his senses.
It
is impossible to fight the hypnotic influence after the mind has been
programmed. Indeed, by striving angrily with your child, you are more likely
to give strength to the evil If a parent will cut his child away from such
corrupting influences as friends, hi-fi and dope, which act as hypnotic
reinforcements. Soon the power of their suggestions will diminish (but not
without pain and withdrawal symptoms), leaving your child with the painful
realization of the folly of his ways, and eventually, of the good you are doing
for him. Better not preach about morals and that sort of thing; just keep him
insulated from his sources of support until he comes around. All children need
restraint to deliver them from evil.
Carrying
on and being upset just might win him back into your camp, if you exert enough
pressure, but then who will save him from you?
Surely
you don't want a child of yours caught between two pressures in a battle of
hypnotic possession! You want your child to be himself naturally; not like
others, not like you. You want him to be himself, just the way you should be,
each of you respecting that quality in the other. Therefore, with calm,
unwavering strength and patient love, separate your child from all unhealthy
influences.
