Successful families always recognize Father as the head of the family, and from there all other stations in the family are equal, meaning that there is not one chair higher than the next. There is not one family member more important than the next. Most family [[decisions]] are made only after conferring in [[prayer]] with Father and/or Michael. A successful group recognizes a [[higher power]] greater than themselves.

How wonderful it is you have each other to [[discuss]] these issues and find [[comfort]] from a [[family]] setting, yes, find solutions. For the most part it is because of these feelings of emptiness that mortals struggle to attain [[self-mastery]]. It is easy to go towards the animalistic tendencies when feeling the fear of lack. Really most mortals feel lost in the [[unknown]] and seek quick temporary solutions that help them to feel [[secure]].

Citizens on the [[enlightened worlds]] struggle not towards [[self-mastery]], for it is completely [[natural]] to them. They feel not the emptiness. They feel not the fear. They need not make [[desperate]] attempts to find fulfillment, especially using the ego/animalistic driving force. I understand the struggle to [[attain]] self-mastery. I understand the [[fear]] of emptiness and inadequacy. It is easy to see how many of your fellows are pushed by the fear of emptiness to find temporary fulfillment, to lean towards the [[ego's]] solutions, yes.
