Parenting Education. Book 2 (Russian version)
Family arises, lives, evolves, and dies. The highest feelings, the most intense energy, the greatest pleasure, and indescribable pain are all associated with the concept of family. When two people meet, and a feeling arises between them, destiny, health, and the character of future children are laid within it. The masculine and feminine principles symbolize two types of energy in the universe. These are two opposites that unite through the feeling of love. The formation of a future family begins on a subtle level, in the realm of subtle subconscious energies. For many years before their meeting, souls connect on a subtle level and lay out the script of their shared development. As soon as sexual maturity begins, imperceptible to human sight and consciousness, the search for a future spouse and the encounter with them take place.
Serious illnesses in adolescence are often linked to future events. In order for children to come into the world, mutual grievances, jealousy, and hatred must be restrained. Illness helps a person become kinder and, in combination with difficulties, can contribute to the birth of children, for whom a family is created.
What we call society and the state is a combination of interorganism connections. These connections are formed within the family. The ability to love, care for each other, self-sacrifice in critical situations, the ability to love despite pain and loss, the ability to forgive and be tolerant of the shortcomings of others—these skills are formed within the family. If for some reason families begin to break down, the state is doomed. Its disintegration and destruction, in this case, are only a matter of time. Invisible, intangible subconscious emotion creates, supports, and develops both the family and the state. Disrespect between parents is passed on to their children and destroys their future families.
Science has always tried to represent human relationships as something immaterial, incorporeal, and illusory. In reality, relationships have the same physiology as our body. It takes a lot of energy to form and develop them. Why do relationships with childhood friends last the longest? Because in childhood and youth, due to the enormous release of mental energy, new friendships are easily formed. They can be very deep and extensive, accompanied by feelings of love, joy, and warmth. In mature age, relationships are formed much more difficultly. If a person has no friends, their spiritual energy degenerates just like an untrained athlete's muscles. Love and joy that we give to people, especially loved ones, develop our soul. The more energy and love we can give, the easier it is for us to know the Creator and unite with Him.
Yet why did Jesus Christ say, «A man's enemies will be the members of his own household»? Let's contemplate what love is. On one hand, it is a desire to unite with a loved one, to dissolve into them. On the other hand, it is the happiness from the maximum outpouring of energy toward this person, i.e., the union of two opposites. If I merge with a loved one, the energy of love ceases to be allocated, it becomes unnecessary. If I distance myself from them and withdraw, the feeling of love may cool.
To develop the feeling of love, one must communicate. But in order for this feeling not to lead to merging and the degeneration of souls, one must internally maintain a distance from the loved one. The leaves of a tree should not grow together. They should feel their unity through the roots of the tree. It turns out that only those spouses who subconsciously give their true «I» to God first, and then to their souls, and only then to their bodies, can be happy and love each other. However, if all the energy is directed toward the body, a rapid fusion of energy shells occurs. Through our attachment, we shut a person off from God, and their soul stops receiving the highest energy and begins to suffer and degenerate.
The more a person violates the second commandment, the further they move away from God and love. Aggression builds up in the soul, and overall energy diminishes. A woman is more likely to forget about God while worshiping a loved one. The quicker the inclination towards the Creator is lost, the sooner love turns into passion, becomes consumptive, and gives rise to demands and grievances. The primary goal of passion is to receive. If love is happy with selflessness, giving, and care, passion primarily seeks pleasure, sex, and continuous interaction with a loved one.
The process of losing the inclination towards God and transferring one's personal energy to the worship of idols happens imperceptibly. How can you determine that you have strayed from the path? How can you tell if your soul is worshiping passion instead of love? It's essential to understand the difference between love and passion. Love involves both pleasure and the pain of loss simultaneously. Therefore, in love, a person receives and gives at the same time. The combination of opposites prevents attachment to the object of love.
Passion breaks apart opposites and strives for only one of them. Passion desires only pleasure and positive emotions. The more it craves them, the more vehemently it reacts to their loss. Passion doesn't want to give; it only wants to receive. For such a person, relationships with others become continuous torment. They try to escape from pain, and when it inevitably catches up, they seek refuge in pleasure.
Besides sex, this includes alcohol and drugs. This is a classic case of splitting opposites. Initially, there's a feeling of complete happiness, ecstasy, and euphoria. Then, positive emotions are replaced by negative ones. And a person who believes that happiness is the absence of negative emotions will flee from depression and pain toward new pleasures.
For a long time, I tried to understand why some people drink a lot but don't become alcoholics, while others initially restrain themselves but eventually become slaves to the «green snake». Tragic changes occur in the latter case—rapid aging and weakening. Degeneration happens very quickly. Then I realized what turns an ordinary person into an alcoholic. They make intoxication and alcoholic euphoria their main goal. Typically, people drink to dull their consciousness and open up their feelings, making it easier to communicate and be sincere, which is the goal of socializing. An alcoholic shifts their goals. Their primary goal is a continuous positive emotion.
If a woman loses her inclination towards God and violates the second commandment, she becomes jealous, resentful, and despondent. If she exacerbates her state with lust and becomes involved with alcohol, the process of soul degeneration intensifies. Alcohol suppresses higher feelings and transforms them into the sexual. A person's fascination with alcohol makes them lustful and turns them into slaves of their desires. Such a person is more likely to engage in theft and murder. The stronger their energy is directed towards the animalistic aspect, the more vividly lust, dishonesty, greed, and envy will manifest in their children.
If a person begins to worship spiritual and material values, slowing down the process of decay can only be achieved through strict limitations on alcohol and sex. A strict prohibition on theft. Inevitable punishment for murder.
Administrative and criminal laws can compel a person to comply, but it's impossible to force them to adhere to moral law. When society lacks faith in God, morality is lost, and if the destruction of the soul can lead to material wealth, raising a person becomes impossible. Believers and those with morals benefit from being in a society where secular laws are subservient to spiritual laws, derived from them, and where caring for the soul of a person is more important than caring for their body.
Sometimes, to save the soul, the body must perish. If you pray to your loved one as if they were God, for them to survive, they must offend, insult, humiliate, betray, or die. Recently, there has been a breakdown of families in many countries. Even in the remaining families, love triangles often arise.
