called a family, related through God, supported by spiritual
awareness and practice.

By the age of seventeen years the foreseeable future of this
young adult has been set firmly between two viewpoints,
where it sees its body going and where it sees its Spirit going.
It will have decided within its reason which path has priority.
If it is becoming aware of its vocation, what it came to this
world to do, the path will be very clear for them to see.
However if they can’t see this and choose for ego reasons a
particular path then there will be confusion and indecision.
The spiritually aware adult can provide the steadying
influence for this youth and give them the power to make
rational and spiritual choices. This facility for the youth to
avail of is not confined to being provided by the parent or
their carer but by any informed adult they may happen to
meet. This could even happen within the educational system
they choose to be educated by. It will come from the
individual tutor rather than the institution. You have a saying
there, “He who pays the piper calls the tune”. The institution
pays the tutor, and the institution in turn is paid by the state.
This is why it will take the informed individual to step outside
the controls of state and institution, and to facilitate the
emancipation of the student from the spiritless educational
system. The student needs to learn both sets of rules, the rules
of the state and its society and the rules of Creation, and to
know how to apply them equally, but with the bias in favour
of God rules. The rules of the state are harder to adhere to as
there are so many and they are so unfair and unfairly
