Clearly it is not the highest action to deliberately abuse or destroy another.

Clearly, it is equally inappropriate to neglect the needs of those you have caused to be dependent on you.

Your job is to render them independent; to teach them as quickly and completely as possible how to get along without you.

For you are no blessing to them so long as they need you to survive, but bless them truly only in the moment they realise you are unnecessary.

In the same sense, God's greatest moment is the moment you realise you need no God.

I know, I know... this is the antithesis of everything you've ever been taught. Yet your teachers have told you of an angry God, a jealous God, a God who needs to be needed. And that is not a God at all, but a neurotic substitute for that which would be a deity.

A true Master is not the one with the most students, but one who creates the most Masters.

A true Leader is not the one with the most followers, but one who creates the most Leaders.

A true King is not the one with the most subjects, but one who leads the most to Royalty.

A true Teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most others to have Knowledge.

And a true God is not One with the most servants, but One who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others.

For this is both the goal and the glory of God: that His subjects shall be no more, and that all shall know God not as the unattainable, but as the unavoidable.

I would that you could this understand: your happy destiny is unavoidable. You cannot be "saved". There is no hell except not knowing this.

So now as parents, spouses and loved ones, seek not to make of your love a glue that binds, but rather a magnet that first attracts, then turns around and repels, lest those who are attracted begin to believe they must stick to you to survive. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing could be more damaging to another.

Let your love propel your beloveds into the world - and into the full experience of who they are. In this will you have truly loved.
