Home: A sanctuary of harmony and spiritual evolution

by Antonio Cottas

Home should be like a sanctuary where family members cooperate with each other for spiritual progress. When spirituality is lacking, the family environment becomes a target for inferior forces to induce disputes, where selfishness reigns and the opinions or some self-centered individuals prevail over other family members. This is not good because it brings instability to the family and trades away peace for disharmony.

There is nothing worse than arriving home after a working day only to find a climate of confrontation, disagreements and misunderstandings. There is nothing that can justify this kind of environment. Only the lack of spiritual judgement can make some parents act with so much selfishness and irresponsibility. Everything they do, can spread like a wildfire and greatly affect their children. The innocent suffer the consequences because they see their parents feuding in irrational disputes, which can only delay spiritual growth.

How often altercations among adults are passed on for generations because all children see at home is disrespect, disputes, and bitter fights! This kind of behavior do not make the environment healthy for anyone. It is possible that one of the spouses wants to break ties and commitments voluntarily assumed to each other in the past. In that case why have they disregarded each other’s personal flaws before committing themselves to marriage? Lack of truthfulness with each other can lead to an unloving and unstable home.

Christian Rationalism which is a spiritual school welcomes people with marital problems to visit our houses so they can learn how to live in a more friendly way in group, and to practice spirituality at home. Many, many people arrive at our houses tormented by the erroneous behavior patterns of spouses, children and other family members. By developing their spiritual awareness, they will be able to sanitize around them the harmful atmosphere they live in. This way, waves of obssessor spirits giving rise to all sorts of spiritual unrest, will be driven away and as result harmony will be brought back into their homes.

Often this work can be done in silence, just by one member of the family elevating their thoughts, irradiating in favor of family members so they can mentally perceive and avoid errors, conducive to improving the atmosphere around them, for the sake of an happy marriage and well-being, which means the fostering of spiritual evolution without discord.

Everything can be achieved in life as we become more spiritually enlightened. The beacon that lights the way to a better understanding of our purpose in this world, is spirituality. This will not be achieved with fights and feuds, but with elevated thoughts and good deeds, so that everything can fall into place and people understand that they were on the wrong path.

Those family members who feel isolated at home should not be discouraged, especially when they have the support of a spiritual doctrine like Christian Rationalism. In their struggles their spirits will gain more enlightenment as they discover the vast knowledge that this philosophy can supply, encouraged by the Superior Astral who will inspire them to do everything to promote the welfare of their families.

One day, when members of a family disincarnate and ascend to their spiritual worlds, they will then see the spiritual valor of the one who fought alone in the family. How many lessons will they learn, recognizing that one family member was on the path of spirituality all along, everyday. They can then use those lessons in future incarnations. With patience and perseverance, much can be achieved in the long term. Then they will be able to form families made up of people who are more knowledgeable and spiritually evolved.
