Mini-course Learn about Human Behavior, Day 6 - Family, The Karma Group — YouTube from the CEC Library

The family is the foundation on which society is formed and, for that reason, it has fundamental importance. I will address spirituality in the context of family behavior, because it is essential to our growth and happiness. It is fundamental to learn to relate to our closest group, our origin: our parents. The father serves as a reference point for man, husband, and companion of the mother, while the mother is a reference point for woman and wife. These figures deeply influence our life, because they are responsible for our continuity and for everything we accomplish over the course of our history.

It is important that our parents have a healthy representation in our lives, serving as references. Before we are born, we are already connected to that family group. In the spiritual context, it is essential to understand the whole story. When we are about to be born, our mother is pregnant and we are beside her as a spiritual body. It is often thought that the spirit is already inside the mother's body, but in fact it remains beside her until the third or fourth month of pregnancy.

During that period, the spirit can decide, through free will, not to go ahead with the birth, if it perceives that it will not be able to fulfill its life mission in that family. When a miscarriage occurs, the mother may fall into grief and frustration, but it is important to remember that the spirit that did not accept that birth suffers greatly from that reaction. A lack of knowledge can lead to attitudes that are harmful both to us and to those around us, whether they are physical or extra-physical, including a future child. It is crucial to pay attention to this in order to follow the best path.

If the spirit decides to reincarnate, it faces the first trauma of life: being born. Being born and dying are primitive traumas, because when we are born we have a blackout of everything we were, and when we die a blackout often occurs as well. Our continuity exists, but we take part in it only partially, because of our beliefs and rituals. When we are born, we choose a family group; if we are emotional, it is chosen by birth helpers, who point out the best group with energies similar to ours. This makes for a calmer path, avoiding conflicts. We are born at a level similar to our own, because we look for those who are like us. If we think our parents are inadequate, we should look at ourselves in the mirror, because we are born into groups that reflect who we are.

Our family group is important and, even if we have difficulty accepting it, it is essential to fulfill our role. If we are children, we should act as such, respecting and treating others appropriately. Our path is an important part of our evolution, and we are here because of our mission. Managing strain and suffering with common sense is crucial, because we are accomplishing something greater.

The family is fundamental, because we create rules, rituals, and marriages that shape our society. Although our family would ideally include every person on Earth, that is not feasible because of the large population. So we have a family nucleus of origin that we must treat with affection. If we manage to, through sensible and sincere work, we can transcend our family group, which is our settlement group. Few family groups are evolutionary, where people are above the heart chakra or in its upper part. To know which chakra we are in, we only need to analyze ourselves.

Check whether you feel anger, jealousy, or resentment. If you have negative characteristics or mood variations, that is part of who you are. If you have any of these characteristics, you are below the heart chakra. Your family is a settlement group. Above that, it would be an evolutionary group. Most people on Earth live in settlement groups.

The information I am passing on can be questioned. Everything I say can be questioned, and that is important. It is essential to discuss and express our emotions, but without emotional charges, anger, or the intention of subduing the other person. None of us is right; everything is relative. Our goal is to improve ourselves and those around us, understanding our purpose on Earth better. We must act with total sincerity in order to do what we believe is best for everyone.
