Family - the incarnation of a child in a Family is never by chance

11/13/2004

Some teachers justify the disobedience and insolence of children and adolescents claiming that because young people are much more intelligent and gifted than their parents, it is normal that they should stand up to them. It is true that there are gifted children but they are extremely rare, and it is not true that most children are geniuses and have a right to rebel against their simple-minded parents. No, you must understand first of all that there is a reason why a child is born into a particular family, because nothing happens by chance. The Lords of Destiny act with wisdom and justice, and once the child has arrived it is too late to challenge the situation. If he is so brilliant, why did he incarnate into a family of morons? He was born there for the express purpose of carrying out a special apprenticeship, and this apprenticeship consists first of all in accepting his parents. Later on, who can say but, in becoming a member of this family, he must first try to live in harmony with them. When he has proved his true superiority he can do as he wishes, but not before.
