When raising a family, one may get into the habit of stealing for the benefit of the family and one will usually feel justified in doing this. This happens because the parent in connection with the subconscious desires of the child, feels compelled to acquire certain things.

As it is the parent is infected with the karmic influences which are in the subtle body of the infant, influences which were from the past lives, especially the immediate past one.

How can a parent shield itself from this? How is a parent to sort in his or her nature, which desires are alien, which are coming from those entities who have entered the family as infants.

Does a parent usually fulfill these desires of the infants and so become lost in the confusion of what is his or her psyche and what is the conjoint psyche which is a fusion of the individual needs and the needs of the entity who became the infant.

Do parents perform socially unacceptable acts like stealing or sophisticated theft, for instance, only to fulfill desires which leaked over from the psyche of the infant?

Will a parent mistreat others on the basis of the prejudices which the infant carry over from the past life?

Where does the nature of the child begin and that of the parent end?

Can it be sorted or is it an inexplicable oneness between parent and child, regardless of the favorable or unfavorable background of the infant from the past life?
