be calm and natural, and not before its time. In the world of
these times, there is a general lack of spiritual awareness and
consequently, the end of life is not seen as a pleasant prospect.
This human preoccupation with sustaining life draws
suffering and often drastic methods being employed to wrest
the soul and Spirit from the grasp of the ego. In the cut and

awareness is achieved by the depowerment of the ego. The
ego is educated into a dependency upon the system it is to live
within. The ego sees its only hope of survival is to live by the
rules that the state dictates, even when it is called a
democracy. The only hope it sees for its spiritual survival is
its reliance on the religion it is born into, or chooses to
convert to. When the Spirit incarnates into a human form it is
dependent on its human parents for its physical survival. This
dependency required this incarnation to surrender its power to
its parents. This power is only entrusted to the parent(s) until
such time as the child becomes self-sufficient. At this stage,
the youth should have its power returned to it, and then
continue to grow and develop increasingly, under its own
power. If its power has been returned its prospects for
fulfilment will be perfect. However, if this power is retained
by the parent(s) there is no such surety as to its future. This
underpowered individual would next be exposed to the
ruthlessness of society. Their life is now subjective. Any
apparent self-confidence is but a veneer and any assertive acts
are simply egotistical bravado. Yes, they can survive but only
through the care of the system. The next loss of power they
experience is when they find they need to further subjugate
themselves to the available educational and financial services,
