Welmek: Good morning, my friends. This is your friend and teacher, Welmek. Today I would like to continue with our procedure. Imagine a friend has come to you. They are sad and discouraged and ask you what is life about; what is the purpose of life? I want you to think about how you would respond and then we shall begin.

Welmek: Thank you, my friends. If I would attempt to answer this question, I think my answer would be a summary of all that you have said. If I were to summarize all that you have said, I would say the purpose of life is to learn, to love and to learn to love life. Imagine in your mind a triangle and the three words are learn, love and live. Now begin to see them in combination. We learn to live, we must learn to love. We must love to live. We must love to learn. We must live to learn and we must live to love. All of these interact. Each is important. Life is not complete, life is not full, life is not real if any of these are missing.

You celebrate this day called Father’s Day. Let us call this Parent’s Day for we did not have this discussion on Mother’s Day. What does a parent give a child? They give them life, do they not? Is that not what you as parents have given your children; you have given them life…the opportunity to learn and the opportunity to love. And then, while they are learning to love and loving to learn and living, you provide them with support and you give them guidance. Has our Heavenly Parent not given us the same? Has our Heavenly Parent not given us our spiritual life? The ability to learn and love. Has our Heavenly Parent not given us love and guidance? People wander this planet so alone, so in need, struggling to see the purpose in life, when it is right in front of them, within them, around them, and yet they do not see. Share this purpose with them when you can. Help them realize what life really is, what a tremendous gift it really is. Tell them how fortunate they are to have life and to have eternal life. When a parent brings a child into the world, they naturally love them. They do not have to learn to love the child. Then, why is it that we cannot have or feel the same love for everyone else?

Student comments: we don’t have the same relationships and we don’t see everyone this way.

So on this Parent’s Day, my friends, my message to you is you must learn to be more than a brother or sister. You must learn the love of the parent and you must learn to love each of your brothers and sisters not just as a brother and sister, but as a parent. The parent’s love does not disappear with the inappropriate or immature behavior of their children. A parent is there to continue to nurture, to continue to love and guide. You are not physical parents of your brothers and sisters, but in a way you are becoming the spiritual parents. The master was not the biologic father of his brothers and sisters, but when his father passed did he not serve the role and responsibility of their parent, and did he not serve the responsibility of spiritual parent to all the children of this planet? Even those who put a crown of thorns on his head, spit in his face, mocked, scorned and whipped him. He looked at them as a parent would look at their child and said, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.” This is the height, the acme, the goal of love.
