Now, a child is very dependent upon a parent. To the child a parent seems like God and, therefore, a child feels guilty, feels afraid that the parent will cast him out, particularly the mother, so the child then feels he will be completely abandoned. Now, if the guilt is severe enough, as unfortunately it often is, this pseudo-guilt, then the young adult will do almost anything to relieve it. He does not realize that what he actually feels is the early fear of the child of the parents’ abandonment. This is not in his conscious mind and therefore anything else is accepted with relief.

(To Natalie.) Now, when I am looking at someone in particular, you do know that I am looking at you and you know to what I am referring. You must first recognize the fact honestly, that there are certain portions of your reality that you do not like. Do not pretend, be honest, and then you can change the reality. And you should be coming here to learn more about yourself. In learning what you are you will discover what reality is, and again what the nature of God is. You can use whatever term you prefer.
