So the question arises, how did we forget to be ourselves? And the answer is: because of the pressure and the corruption of a childhood conditioning process— “culture,” in other words.

Culture is like a prevailing disease against which the individual must become uniquely immune if he is to survive. This may come as a surprise to you, but the hand that rocks the cradle also holds the key to the perpetuation of culture.

Children were not designed to be performing circus beasts, conditioned by trainers for the pleasure-taking of the system. They are little people, whose rights and spiritual needs must be properly understood and fulfilled.

Now, I am not saying that parents should give up disciplining their children. I am saying that parents should remember that children are people, not beasts. Children differ from the wild beasts in that they have souls; thus, different rules must apply in rearing them.

A different kind of love than that which brings children into the world is required if you are to bring up an emotionally stable family. Animal “love” merely procreates animal bodies, but Divine love breathes life into the souls which live in them.

Superhuman perception, energy and endurance are needed if you are to bear the outrages of other egos. Survive the ravages of your mother, your marriage partner and your kids, and you will surely know the meaning of happiness.

Just think of it this way: without mad bulls there would be no good matadors. The point is that unless you learn to properly cope with the cruel stresses of life, you cannot grow in understanding.

It is the father’s duty to lead his entire family to the Divine Source of their existence. Woman is only the source of the fallen, natural existence.

"unless you learn to properly cope with the cruel stresses of life, you cannot grow in understanding."

Uncanny wisdom must be applied in dealing with her. Improperly regarded, she can be as lethal as a poisonous snake; loved and understood, she can be more precious than rubies.

The mother as lover and central figure in the home is a manipulator, seducer and destroyer who knows not what she does.

Children depend on mother’s warmth and charms to sustain their “rising fallen natures” which she gave them. But at a certain phase, father is duty-bound to save them from her clammy, “loving” grasp.

It is father who should be lover and center of family fascination, not mother. Everything should revolve around him; if it doesn’t, God help you!

Unlike the lower animals, man has two natures, which war with each other for ascendancy. This dual nature must be considered in rearing children.

A body is born from a body, and a spirit from a spirit. All newborn infants arrive through mothers by way of nature, conceived through fathers’ inherent weakness for mothering. Children of men are first natural creatures, but they can go on to mature into spiritual beings. 

It is only through being sincerely committed to family life that married men discover truth more deeply, which enables them to conquer their weakness for women.

Slowly but surely, men must outgrow their carnal need for female reassurance; they must learn to fail less with them. A failing man cannot become a woman’s authority; nor can he implant his good father image in his male children, or set the stage for his female offspring to attract strong, noble men.
