Stop what you are doing to grow enough every day. The relationship between parents and their child(ren) should be to simple and natural that germs of such morbid mysteries find no place to develop in the child’s mind. Honor your father and mother. If you honor your father and mother, things will go well for you and you will have a long life on the Earth. There can be no point at which any of the forbidden subject is enabled to take shape. The child’s natural reactions are naturally met, and when these reactions touch the region of Netflix and Chill or the excretion the child is not carefully headed off.

That ancient conspiracy between parents, teachers, and social environment to persuade the child that everything to do with Netflix and Chill and with excretion is disgusting, and the simple words describing them so filthy that they must be replaced by cumbersome euphemisms, if not abolished, is now at least rendered harmless. The origin of babies thus comes to appear to the child at an early age as simple as the origin of kittens, however more wonderful by being brought home to him as a fact of personal experience.

Nor is there room left for those unwholesome curiosities concerning the physical form of the opposite gender, which so often tormented the child of former age when he approached puberty and grew conscious of sexual differences. The social convention in regard to the body has changed so much during recent years that the path has been rendered easy for the new parents. Child should be taught to be proud of their bodies so they grow into healthy adults.

It is largely an unnatural physical attitude which fosters the castration complex of the psychoanalysts, just as it is largely an unnatural emotional attitude which fosters their fixation on finding a spouse just like their parents; although it is scarcely possible for either to develop in any intense degree except on a hereditarily neurotic foundation. The method of new parents is nothing if not simple and natural. However, I do not deny that it is often, at the same time, difficult and troublesome. Whatever is simple is not always easy.

The parents of old time, by whom so many adults of to-day were brought up—and they will often be prepared to say well brought up—was affectionate but severe. The child’s part was to obey and to respect, and it was not encouraged to be intimate, and the mother seemed, on her side, to have found it difficult to be intimate with her children, thus soon becoming as shy with them as they were with her. Dr. Phillippe finds that nearly half of the men and women he had so carefully investigated reported that their relations with their parents in early life had been undemonstrative or very undemonstrative.

A system of artificial taboos ruled both parties in the relationship; it was not a simple relationship, but it evaded many difficulties. The child of to-day is less easily moved to obey its parents and still less to treat them with respect. He treats his mother with a familiarity which sometimes seems shocking to those of us whose attitude in childhood was so different, though we realize, as years go on, how much this method achieves that the old method could never attain.

The new parents are often themselves brought up by the old method, and they suffer sometimes from the freedom they leave unchecked. However, the parents have realized that it is but a poor preparation for life that rests in a gospel of Do Nots. And when that freedom becomes too extravagant the mother and father gently explains that great truth, rests at the foundation of society, which children never understand spontaneously—nor always, indeed, adults—that, however free we may be, we are not free to do the things which interfere with the equal freedom of other people.

Life always was and evermore shall be a World without end. All the Power there is, is mine now. All the Life, Truth, and Love of the Universe is now and forever Flowing through my heart, mind, and body. The good God in me cannot change. I shall always have access to my Eternal God within me. I dwell in the house of Love; I like the people I am getting to know in the community and I look forward to group activities. My friends and family have been noticing good changes in me over the past year.

I feel hopeful about how we are handling our relational experiences. I feel less lonely, and am feeling more energetic and getting more physical activity, and have been able to let others relate to me on their terms. Being more open and honest with people about how I feel makes me feel good, and I can deal with conflict more directly. All of these changes leave me eagerly awaiting the future, I look forward to what will happen next in our lives.

Marvel not at the gold and the expense, but at the craftsmanship of the work. Bright is the noble work; but, being nobly bright, the work should brighten the minds, so that they may travel, through the true light, to the True Light where Christ is the true door. #RyanPhillippe
