Your Deeper Mind
*******
There is a deep part of your mind, in the very profound "Unconscious," that already understands the mysteries of God. But there is a lower nature in our minds also, and it includes the "conscious" mind. This is the part of our minds that we can "hear internally." It is the part where we think our everyday thoughts, and we know its full contents. But this is only a thin layer of the whole Mind.
This is why spiritual people practice meditation. They want to get in touch with the deeper levels of Mind, usually hidden or "unconscious."
The very deepest part of your own mind is shared with all other beings. This is so deep in Mind that almost no one ever touches It. This is the Mind-level called "Spirit." It is purest, stainless beauty and Love unlimited. When you begin to integrate your Mind with It, you can become an instrument of pure Love. But you must first get rid of all those pesky, unnecessary thoughts, which are like "baggage" on your back, crushing the awareness of your higher (deeper) Mind.

"Parentizing" Other Adults
*******
It is best to allow other adults to find, create, or discover their own paths-- emotional, spiritual, and mental. We can, of course, give aid and assistance, as this is the very assignment of loving people. But we have gone far too far if we try to "parentize" other adults. It is inappropriate, and impossible, to be a "father" or "mother" to other adults.
This realization is fairly evident to most, with the powerful exception of their biological children: Most parents have a very difficult challenge in letting go of their kids. But, as you have learned, you must let even them make their own mistakes. For this is the only way possible to grow on earth. In the final analysis, making mistakes, however tragic, confusing, and disorienting, is a positive learning experience. No matter how hard you try, no matter how great your Love, you cannot insulate other adults from the often terrible effects of their errors. You could even say that some errors are karmically determined; they are part of the life-predesign of the deeper Mind (Soul).
