About the Book
The Master of the Universe, with the aid of other humans, gave the adult human beings the blueprints necessary to develop these little souls in such a way that they would learn the material life while never forgetting their spirit life. These blueprints were so necessary in aiding the spirit-beings to remain as their authentic self and not become an artificial or adapted self. Becoming an adapted self implies always trying to please someone else instead of remaining genuinely who God intended them to be. This adapted self is also called The Ego. Because these creatures are so unique and so complex, it will take them many years to learn how to live and function on the planet earth. Learning to live on the planet earth is no easy task.
The developmental tasks are so vital to our psychological growth. The key factor of all these stages is nurturing. If sincere nurturing is lacking, these spirits’ material life will be dwarfed. They will never reach their magnificence. This is one of life’s greatest tragedies. Nurturing is the stuff of life that causes growth to the spirits becoming human, fully human, genuinely human. If nurturing is sparse, then that soul wanders through this vale of tears trying to eke-out some stroking. Selling themselves short to get a little of something they desperately need for survival. The souls will put themselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that offers some semblance of nurturing and stroking.
This is where negative attention seeking behaviors appear. Negative attention is perceived by the little souls as preferable to no attention. Parents and caregivers have to have had such nurturing or have learned how desperately it is needed in order to give it to others. Their responsibility is so great that if they truly realized the magnitude of this responsibility each spirits’ coming would be accompanied by much prayer and great awareness. Nurturing and stroking activates the nervous system, causing the organism physically and psychologically to expand and grow. If you have ever seen the delicate process of dough rising, as it is kept warm so that it will eventually support life, you can better understand the needs of this infant and how stroking expands the psyche and nervous system.
