Us new-agers are like recovering alcoholics. We're pretty adamant about the whole 'taking responsibility for your life thing' - you know, not playing victim to your life.
So while we're at it, let's take responsibility for being born to our parents. Just for fun... See what happens.
Okay, so we choose our parents before we're born, rather than being the product of random DNA colliding and creating consciousness...
Consciousness in fact recycles itself intelligently...
Still with me?
Okay, so what are the implications if in fact you had your pick of a million (billion?) sets of parents... And you picked them out of the crowd?
So no matter how dysfunctional our parents were, we couldn't really blame them for our lot in life anymore, could we?
Okay, so one we stop blaming our parents and realize that WE chose this life, for some reason unknown to us... What then?
Well if we're all still trying to enlighten ourselves, to grow as people and energies, then maybe it's a good time to take a good candid look at our parents and take stock of what we've learned from them. What morals/values did we acquire through them? How did their struggles affect us either positively or negatively - how did we grow from them. Or did we?
And if you're a parent yourself? Feel free to shift the blame. When your little kid starts yelling at you for not buying him that toy he wants or for not letting him eat the whole cake on his eighth birthday, you can say "yeah well you chose me!"
How do you like them apples?
