any  imposed  system  and  will  constantly  question  authority.
               Human authority does not like being questioned because it is
               egotistically  challenging.  God,  on  the  other  hand,  loves
               questions as that enables spiritual growth which is fulfilling.
               The spiritual person by sharing their truth will attract to itself
               those who are seeking answers. These latter often when they
               hear the truth of another adopt that truth as their own without
               adapting  it  and  developing  from  it  their  own  personal  and
               unique truth. Now here is the difficulty, the truth of another
               can ever be the truth for anyone else but that other. In every
               religion there is truth, the truth of the founder of the religion.
               No teacher came to this world to start a religion, they came to
               share  their  truth.  Others  took  that  truth  and  made  it  into  a
               fixed  dogma  and  added  manmade  rules  to  ensure  that  fixed
               truth remained fixed and controlling. This is what any religion
               is, a dead truth. Dead truth is  a concept  that has  no life, in
               order  to  have  life  it  would  need  to  have  Spirit.  All  truth  is
               dynamic and alive and Divine.



               Towards  the  end  of  their  third  year  children  become
               optimistic. An "excitement" about what is in store for them in
               their future, as intimated to them by the adults around them,
               takes control. Unless amongst these adults there are some who
               would  have  spiritual  awareness,  as  distinct  from  religious
               conditioning, this future will be devoid of spiritual optimism
               and be simply ego based. The child's life and well being will
               be under the control of the surrounding adults with it's parents
               being  to  the  forefront.  The  parents  will  be  the  role  models.
               and to a lesser extent so will older siblings. All aspects of the
