- Atheists become more numerous when religion loses its love and faith, when human logic displaces divine logic.
- Our children reflect the deepest layers of our inner state, which extend beyond a single lifetime.
- Those who cannot cultivate their own character will never be able to guide the character of their children.
- Love implies, on the one hand, absolute inner unity and, on the other, freedom and independence.
- Every atheist is intuitively a believer if they do not turn away from love, if they give more than they take…
We simply need to explore our family history.
What illnesses did our parents and grandparents suffer from? What were their characters like? What sins did they commit? This information can tell us a great deal. Our own karma and our children’s karma correspond both to our experiences in previous lives and to the experiences of our ancestors. That is why we need to examine our ancestors’ lives and characters.
As for sin: did they sin or not?
The difficulty is that we do not always understand sin correctly. We usually interpret it in a religious context: a sin is an act someone has committed, such as murder or theft. And that is indeed true. But sin exists on several levels. There is its outward expression: actions for which a person bears responsibility. Yet we do not always know what our ancestors actually did.
There is also a deeper level of sin: our feelings. Feelings are connected to our character, and their influence on our destiny is considerably greater.
If our grandparents were prone to aggression or depression, if they were weak in character, if they harboured hatred, resentment, judgement or dissatisfaction with themselves and their lot in life; if they spoke ill of others, constantly quarrelled with the person they loved, or could not restrain their animal instincts, allowing their lack of restraint to cause problems in their lives, all of this will become embedded in our subconscious and be passed on to our children.
The most dangerous thing, then, is to turn away from love.
When women had abortions; when, out of hurt and resentment, they rejected the person they loved; when they no longer wanted to live and attempted suicide; when they constantly resented their circumstances and other people, and cursed their fate, all of this becomes embedded in the depths of our souls and is passed on to our descendants.
What exists as thoughts in the grandparents becomes feelings in their children, the future parents. Ultimately, it manifests in the physical health of the grandchildren. In other words, negative tendencies sustained within a family eventually become illness, death and misfortune.
What should we do in such circumstances?
The more adversity there is in our family’s karmic history, the more we need to work on ourselves before conceiving a child and during pregnancy.
The two or three years before conception, as well as pregnancy itself, are of great significance for the future child’s life. The fifth month of pregnancy is especially important. The direction the parents give the child during this time matters greatly.
If that direction is right, if it leads towards God and love, the child can overcome even the most dangerous negative tendencies passed down through the family.
How does sin begin? Why do people sin? The fact is that human beings have three instincts.
The first and most important is a subconscious instinct: the yearning for God and love.
Without it, life cannot exist. Why is this instinct so important? Because we receive from the Almighty the subtle energy that enables our souls to be saved and to develop.
Without love for God, the soul withers. When our instinctive yearning for God and love is alive, we receive the energy we need for our future.
Then we can have children, enjoy health and happiness, and see our wishes fulfilled. When this first instinct is functioning, it also sustains the other two instincts necessary for the existence and development of our physical bodies: the instinct to reproduce and the instinct for self-preservation. мWhen love for God weakens, the other two instincts become excessively active.
All our energy is spent on these two instincts. When they take second place to our yearning for God, they develop harmoniously. But when they take first place, a person loses their love for God and descends to the animal level. The reproductive instinct then turns into uncontrolled passion, lust and the worship of pleasure. The instinct for self-preservation gives rise to envy and a willingness to betray, kill or rob another person for the sake of one’s own well-being.
That is why, without real love in the soul and a yearning for the Almighty, a person inevitably descends to an animal state.
If there have been atheists in your family, that is already an unfavourable sign for future generations. If those atheists acted in ways that increased their dependence on the two secondary instincts, this compounds the problem. If, driven by lust, a person was unfaithful or betrayed others, indulged excessively in sex, food and their passions, or broke the commandments for the sake of pleasure (“You shall not commit adultery”, “You shall not murder”, “You shall not steal”); if they constantly judged, robbed and deceived others, all of this is passed on to their descendants.
How can we recognise difficulties affecting our children if we know little about our parents and ancestors?
Very simply: by looking at our own character and the events of our lives. If a child carries such difficulties, the mother goes through severe trials before conception: humiliation, illness, hurt and so on. The greater the child’s difficulties, the worse the mother’s condition before conception and during pregnancy. The level of toxicity in her body increases, and she experiences all kinds of troubles during pregnancy. Illness is also possible. Other people may treat her unfairly.
If a woman sees all these problems as help from above, diminishing earthly happiness and opening the way to God, she can overcome all these negative tendencies.
A woman who wants to conceive must therefore let go of the human logic that says, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” She must forgive everyone. She must see the divine image in every person. She must recognise God’s will in everything. She must attune herself to love.
Every hardship helps loosen our attachments. Every attachment makes the secondary instincts more important to us, blocking our path to God and preventing the soul from receiving love, energy and opportunities.
For a woman who wants to give birth to a healthy child, it is very important to understand that, if there is a problem with her husband, she should see it as an expression of his pain, imperfection or weakness, rather than as something for which to blame him. She should not reproach or accuse him, nor become irritated by his behaviour. She should help him and teach him through her own example how to relate to the world, how to be kind-hearted and generous.
Why does a person become malicious? Why do they judge others, take offence and seek revenge?
Because their system of values is misguided. If money matters most to me, I will be prepared to commit any crime when money is at stake. If life itself is my greatest happiness and highest value, I will be prepared to kill, betray and envy others in order to preserve my own life.
Only when my highest value is love, the yearning for the Almighty and the aspiration to become like Him, will I be in harmony. Then my instincts will develop without malice, aggression or depression.
How can we identify our highest value?
Very simply: through our character, our fears and our resentments. If love comes first, we are sincere, patient and kind-hearted. We place the soul first and the conscious mind second. Mercy matters more to us than justice. Justice without love is cruelty.
If we can accept loss; if we are not afraid of the future; if we have no desire to judge or despise others and take pleasure in feeling superior to them; if we can make sacrifices; if we can treat others with respect while also protecting our own interests, then we are moving in the right direction in life.
