“On Our True Father/Mother

We can help release the drama of our childhood by redefining whose child we are. We are products of our family of origin, to be sure. But who is that, exactly—our mortal parentage, or our immortal one?

It’s an important distinction because we inherit the riches of whomever we think sourced us. We might have inherited limitation and fear from our mortal parents, but we inherited miracles and love from God.

Our worldly parents might have been wonderful people or they might have been scoundrels, but the larger point is that they’re not who created us. Superman was only raised by those nice people in Kansas.

Understanding that God is our true Father/Mother, and all humanity our brothers and sisters, delivers us to a more, not less, respectful attitude toward our biological family, and makes us more, not less, able to receive the inheritance of God.”
