As mentioned before in all stages of life, the reincarnated spirit has duties to perform and obligations to meet. These stages can be divided into: childhood, youth, maturity and old age. Here we are going to talk about the first three of them.
We call childhood to the period extending from birth to puberty. During childhood, the foundations on which the whole building of incarnation will rest, are laid.
Therefore, it is of fundamental importance, that the teachings that are taught to a human being in this very delicate phase of life, are lessons of the highest moral content and, above all, examples full of courage and determination, so that they are well assimilated and contribute to the formation of a valorous and noble personality.
After childhood come the teenage years, in which a human being is considered neither a minor nor an adult.
Youth begins in puberty and lasts until maturity. It is the age of reason in which the highest aspirations and the great ideals of life are generally present. And to these aspirations, to these ideals, spirituality should not be a foreign concept, provided that in childhood the human being has been taugh high ethical
principles and values.
A nation will always be great if they can rely on its youth. The hopes of elders are permanently focused on youth and their eyes constantly looking in their direction.
Youth is followed by maturity. In maturity a human being enjoys the benefit of experience gained in the previous stages of life. He can be a competent and safe guide, because the sum of knowledge gained by him, becomes a valuable asset.
In maturity a human being reaches his pinnacle. His organic cells, especially brain cells, reach their maximum vital power and allow the spirit to convey its constructive capacity to its fullest.
