ABSTRACT

Parents are the captains of ships that transport the future leaders of this world. These new voyagers possess a budding spirit that moves them toward growth and self-actualization. While journeying on their own adventures, many adults will influence their children’s quest to become the heroes of the next generation. Before leaving childhood, children will undergo a series of voyages. The Trial of Trust examines the relationship that infants and their parents create. Demonic self-centeredness means a parent’s deliberate choice to follow personal ambitions and desires rather than to attend to the primary needs of their children. Many books and parenting courses can instruct parents in the art of setting limits and creating consequences for misbehavior, but knowledge rarely transforms tyrants and servants. Within the undertow of the modern world, courageous parents create a spiritual sanctuary free of powers of The Rush.
