Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 When someone who is a parent is selfish in a materialistic modality, ie, putting things or their own wishes, desires, sensual matters, before and above their ancestral culture, and the needs spiritually of their children and parents, they make a break with the continuity, and pain begins, bad enters. Their children then have a hard time loving them, honoring them, and this leaves the children without the continuity. This has now become widespread on Earth. The age of travel and ease of material living has brought about much breakage in family structure, cultural continuity, the respect for the elders living and crossed over, respect for death. This is the age where we tried to "buck death" and live "only in life" and "find happiness through material objects and endevours" at the cost of "continuing with spirituality like our ancestors". This break with the continuity is devastating our abilities to handle the basic spiritual facts of life such as birth, death, disease and old age, and so hence we have birth control, abortion, rampant use of medications, and senility, alzheimers, and other internal methods of avoiding death or knowledge of death. Fixing this problem requires forgvieness of the breakers of the traditions, and becoming a real player in the continuity. Just some thoughts. das/rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
