A. Deep are your concerns and your fears that something tragic will happen in this family.

It is understandable that you have anxiety regarding this situation. But remember the lessons learned in Mota # 19, which we have explained to you. Your own anxiety and worry will not help. Only through your love can you be of service.

You had hoped for a new beginning for them. With renewed attitudes of heart and deep committed love, there could be change.

The present harsh reality of this situation is not good. Sometimes, if even the smallest flicker of love is still there, true love, that little ember of love might be fanned into a blaze once more.

All are suffering here! It is NOT the Father’s will that any should suffer in this way, especially the little ones. You can see how your own children suffer to this day from your past errors in judgment and childrearing. It is regrettable and these young adults need help. It will be a long and difficult road for them. If it can’t be worked out together, it must be worked out separately or the pattern will be perpetuated. That no one wants. Already the children have learned this pattern and unless something is done, they will carry on what they have learned.

You know, and most clearly understand that this life in the flesh is not the end of life. Perhaps it will take the mansion world teachers to help your son and his family with these problems, where these passions can be dealt with in their entirety. That, you say, does not help this very moment, now in this time on earth for this family, when so much pain and anguish is manifest.

Who they listen to, and if they will listen to anyone, is entirely in their hands and in their own free will choice. We cannot and you cannot take charge, live and orchestrate their lives for them. Their free will must never be violated. Their lessons are theirs to learn and theirs only.

Now you most certainly live in an imperfect world. This world needs to know the way to peace and harmony and that way has to start in your homes and in your relationships with each other and with youselves, but most important, in your relationship with the Father.

In learning to truly love others through God’s love with in, does his very presence becomes more real in your lives.

When you come to realize you are part of only one small planet of inhabitants among many thousands in this local universe alone, then do you just begin to understand the magnitude of God the Father, the great csomic first source and center of all things. So now realize that we are all apart of this one great cosmic family. It truly puts things in a true perspective, and truth can begin to flow out to all.
