MOTHER WORRIES OVER SON
Question—My boy of 18 is so restless. He stays with me a few months and then goes away without telling me where he is going. When he is in Texas he is with fellows much older than himself and they are so wild. I want him to go to school but he is so hard-headed and easily influenced by these boys and I am almost beside myself with worry. I am only 34 and with this grown boy I need help so badly. Please tell me what to do.
ANSWER-Your problem is one of realizing that your son is an individual and must work out the evolution of his own soul. Every individual is a unique incarnation of the universal Spirit. Each has the same ultimate destiny but all do not choose the same road. Instead of trying to coerce the will and attention of your son, seek rather to realize that the Spirit within him is the directing force of his own life. Try to feel that he is being guided by an intelligent and perfect mind. In so far as possible relieve your own thought of personal responsibility and obligation in the matter and you will have done two things; you will have relieved his mind of the suggestion of fear in your own thought and also opened up a channel of receptivity in his thought for the influx of intelligent and constructive guidance.
SUBCONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION
Question—Is it possible for the subconscious mind of one person to communicate with the subconscious mind of another?
ANSWER-It is possible for the subconscious mind of one person to communicate with that of another. In all probability there is a continuous subjective conversation going on between those who are sympathetically inclined toward each other, and unquestionably the subjective reactions of the race
(page 157) consciousness constitute what psychology calls the collective unconscious, what we call the race mind, and what the Bible calls the carnal mind, which exerts a very great influence over all people. The fact of subjective communication is easily proven by the simple experiment of sitting with someone who is grief stricken and receiving the subjective atmosphere of his thought.
