My girlfriend is a little ways through book 2. She's having quite the time understanding the terminology just as that writer mentioned to Jim lol.
Sometimes it bothers me that she hasn't grasp it as intensely as I had but I've noticed, especially on the Law of One Facebook page, that there are a ton of people that have difficulties with the intensive language of the material. I guess those with a less developed vocabulary or reading something in another language can inhibit such comprehension.
I've thought about having reading sessions with her so that she can say stop and allow me to explain it but I'm hesitant on doing so due to the personalized nature of the material and possible infringement into how she might perceive a statement as opposed to me.
These forums are chalk full of different interpretations of a single sentence so I'm still attempting to weigh the pros and cons of such a joint reading session.
As for her daughter, she is 9 and was raised within the Baptist Church. Practically her entire life, my girlfriend was a pretty devout Christian so we are attempting to find the balance between not mentioning the specifics and implementing what you said about focusing upon the service to others, considering others feelings, etc. We both really dug the morning and night prayers and dinner sessions. Getting them to analyze each day is an awesome way to consciously pay attention to life.
The sticking point will be if she starts to ask why but I guess we can figure that part out when it comes. She's nowhere near as inquisitive as my daughter though so she's a bit more impressionable and will accept stuff at face value more than questioning it so we will probably have a bit more luck with her.
As for my daughter, well, she is much more in tuned with considering others and doing for others. She even made every cousin a little Xmas card with various drawings. She definitely enjoys doing for other as opposed to my girlfriends daughter who is a bit selfish and inconsiderate.
She is also much much more inquisitive. I can see so much of myself in her it's frightening. She wants to know the why's and how's and if she isn't fulfilled with an answer or legitimate reason for something, she won't retain it. So she's gonna be a bit tricky. Especially in regard to her mother who's completely against it.
I will say for those that do have or wanting to have children. Do not get in to specifics at an early age. My daughter was 5 at the time. I was instructed by a medium that a good way to get her in to spirituality would be a book called mountains, Meadows, and moonbeams. Its a pretty good book but definitely different than the Law of One. It is a good introduction though into seeing the Creator as everything. We got through the first few pages and I had her explain it which she did. By the time I dropped her off at her mother's house, she had completely rearranged every aspect of what we read. When my ex recited what she said, it made absolutely no sense. My ex of course is an entirely different matter since she became quite upset I was trying to teach her about religion as she called it. My attempts to explain the difference between spirituality and religion were useless.
I could only imagine what it would be like to have both parents as spiritual guides rather than Lana and I's situation but it's happened for a reason and it may be so as Lana mentioned. That they are able to receive both sides of the same coin so to speak and are able to freely choose their path rather than be a bit indoctrinated if both parents were spiritual.
