WHY DO WE HAVE

MOOD SWINGS?

Why? This happens if we have collected too many patterns about something over many years. For example, the pattern of drinking develops if, from a young age, you were repeatedly taught not to drink and that drinking is a sin. This raises your curiosity to taste alcohol at least once. Never give a law to children. Instead give them understanding and the spirit behind the law.

If we want to bring up children blissfully, we need to bring them up without guilt. Breaking rules creates guilt. to give understanding, we need two things. First we need to be intelligent enough to understand the meaning behind the rules we are trying to enforce. Next we need patience to explain it all to them. Even though it takes more time and energy, focus on giving them understanding.

Before deciding to have children, find your root thought pattern and become complete, enlightened. That is the only qualification we need. Unless we are in the space of completion, we will not have any clarity how to guide them, and we will go on creating more confusion, guilt and incompletion in them. Till we learn the science of completion, we should not plan to have children.

Understand, without completing your root thought pattern, your DNA layers are not awakened, mitochondria cell energy is not awakened. For common human beings, two layers of DNA are awakened. If you find your root thought pattern and complete, six layers of DNA, your Kuṇḍalinī (potential energy) will be awakened in you. If six layers of DNA are awakened, your child will be an enlightened being! If you decide to have children, have the intelligence to give them the right cognition behind all that you tell them.

Never enforce rules on kids. We
are suffering from rules given to us
by our parents. The rules given by
our parents are in our rajas and
tamas layers. They lead us to
restlessness and deep depression
again and again. They create more
and more incompletion,
powerlessness for us.
