always did what my mother wanted, and I was obedient like an angel. One day she took me to the pharmacy with her. There I saw orange candies. They tempted me very much, and I asked my governess to buy them for me. She didn't. I quieted down and we drove home.
We had lunch, after which I told my mother that I wanted to get some sweets. She said, "No, go to bed." A few minutes later I repeated again: "Mom, I want orange candies." Mother said, "Go to bed." Then I shouted in a strong voice, "I want to have these orange candies." In the end, the mother was forced to wake the governess and she brought me candy. I was happy. Why? Because he suddenly applied his will. I was pleased with the wonderful feeling of the first application of my own willpower. However, I remember being called "naughty kid" the next morning because I insisted on it.
Mothers, do not break your child's will by refusing him while he is small. When I showed my will, when I wished for something that, in my opinion, could not harm me, then my family members allowed it. However, I remember that up to this day I have always obeyed reason, and if I made a mistake, I tried to correct it. However, when the truth was on my side, even if the whole family was against it, I stood my ground. Mothers, remember, you do not know how to exercise the will of your child. When they show their own will in the right things, then do not call them naughty. Don't restrict their freedoms, but influence them love and understanding of their petty desires. If you beat them, you will lose them. Talk to your child, give your opinion, and then don't say anything else. When he encounters small troubles, then he will understand. So he will learn much faster.
Parents often impose their will on their children. That's why I never wanted to pray as a child. I didn't like it because I didn't understand it. However, when I learned how to pray with all my heart, then everyone listened to me in my house. Give freedom to your child and only with love lead him to the right path, for the child's willpower must be developed.
The mechanical willpower of the child is followed by the willpower of youth. This willpower is like a shot in the air, which does not produce any result - only noise. The youths expend the dynamite of their will. Then comes the "exploding" will. When a child becomes a young man or a maiden, he spends his will on passions and fickle things, and when he receives a few blows, he learns again.
Re-review
I want to use my own will, but guide it, O my Father.
Behind your will is God's will - a flow of unlimited energy that is trying to manifest goodness. Therefore, if you tune in to the Divine will and remain unbending in your efforts, then you cannot fail.
Will is a desire plus the energy directed towards its fulfillment. There is nothing that can be done without willpower, not a single daily task. Most people want to do all sorts of unimportant things, and they don't concentrate their efforts productively. Desire is not will, although it may be a precondition of will.
Develop your willpower, but first of all you must decide to apply common sense, wisdom and judgment. Then exercise and use your will consciously for some particular purpose. And never back down before you've reached it. When you tune in with the Divine will and direct it continuously to achieve a specific goal, then your will will become a dynamic force.
The human will, guided by selfish desires and ignorance, brings you suffering and worries. You cannot know lasting happiness unless you thirst for God and Truth more than all other things, and until you turn your will to continuous search for God.
Remember that your will, armed with Divine will, can shine like a flame through every situation or difficulty. Thought, united with action through the dynamic will, takes on an external form. Nothing can stop her. However, beware of misdirected will. She will be kicked back.
Willpower develops in childhood and youth:
1. The infantile will is called the physiological will: the infant cries out for some physical reason.
2. Later his will becomes "mechanical": guided by the mother's will.
3. After this comes the blind will of youth: the consciousness of how he can apply his will when he tries it. He uses it as an experience in feeling youthful strength, but without reflection.
4. Later, through reflection and through various strong blows, he learns to control his will consciously.
5. Some people never go beyond that and go through the gates of death never looking for a life answer. Having awakened, they are attuned to the Divine will, and therefore all their efforts are aimed at realizing His will on earth. His dynamic active prayer is:
May Your Will be done.

5. BE THE OWNER OF YOUR FEELINGS
A bee sat on a lotus flower, enjoying its fragrance and sucking out sweet nectar. As she did so, the flower closed and the bee found her death in the lotus. Then look at the fish. She plays in the water, but when you pull her out, she dies. Further, the elk loves to play the pipe, and when the hunter plays the pipe, the elk comes and finds his death. A captive elephant is also used to trap other elephants into a trap. One famous saint said that "the bee died because of its love of fragrances, the fish - because it loves water, the elk - because it loves music, the insect - because it loves beauty, the elephant - because it loves to touch." However, this is also the case with a person who has all these feelings. Saint said:
Don't be a slave to your feelings so that nothing can control you. Remember that all your senses are there to serve you.

6. CULTURE OF DESIRE AND WILL
The Fellowship of Self-Realization teaches not only to seek God, but also to have real contact with Him, and then all things are health, happiness and well-being. will come to you as part of your Divine inheritance. We are prodigal sons who have fled from God, and only if we unite our souls with Him, we will return to ourselves everything that He gave us as an inheritance, as to our children. Seek well-being in the knowledge of the Divine, but first of all seek God. A person inherits the convictions, happiness and prosperity that he has earned by his past deeds and mental enterprise - therefore many do not get what they ask for. No one can get what he does not deserve, why do we ask and imagine the wrong way? Do not pray to God as prodigal sons, but as Divine children united with God.
Use your creative thinking skills to gain success in every serious undertaking. Help yourself so that you can use all the abilities God has given you. God will help you if you help yourself and then ask Him to help you bring your efforts to a successful result.
Strive to develop the "power not to desire" if you lack the power to desire. For example, when you are sitting at the dinner table and Mr. Kare encourages you to eat more than you need, tries to lull your self-control and upset your digestion - then beware! When you have taken the necessary food, say to yourself: "I am no longer hungry," get up from the table and walk away.

7. PERCEPTION OF THE LIGHT OF GOD DEPENDS ON US
Life is an amazing paradox, for we try to fulfill our dreams through this life. This world is an illusion. You are sent here as immortals, yet you live like beggars, forgetting your inner heritage.
Light falls equally on everything, however, diamond souls appreciate and perceive the light flowing through them with their creative properties, while coal souls do not allow the rays to pass through them. Although God created us in his own image, it is up to us whether we dim his light with our ignorance or let it shine freely through us.
Sunlight shines equally on both charcoal and diamond, but the diamond reflects it more. Likewise, all great people who have perceived the Divine light are diamonds. For those who hunger for God and long for His light, that light will be sent into their lives.

8. RESULT OF MEDITATION - PEACE AND JOY
It's good to start meditation in your youth, or, being late with this, start meditation as soon as possible. It is difficult for occult soldiers to reclaim the kingdom of the world when it has already fallen into the hands of restless and materialistic desires.
The joy of being born in meditation is an indication that God has responded to your piety and to the "radio" of your mind tuned to concentration by answering your incessant prayer transmissions.
You need to pray until you get a Divine answer. Many people pray with a "broken microphone". Such prayers can never reach God. Correct and tidy up your mental "microphone" through the serious practice of meditation and concentration, as taught in previous lectures, and only then send your requests. Then your message will reach God. However, don't stop there. Start asserting:
I and my Father are one
until joy fills your heart, head, body and mind. When you allow God to control you, He will awaken you and the ocean of His wisdom will flow through the narrow channel
