Readings for Week 3
Read: Pages 27-38
Thoughts for the Week:
Most humans are not equipped to raise children even
in their 30s and 40s--and shouldn't be expected to
be. They haven't really lived enough as adults to
pass deep wisdom to their children. (34)
How can you teach your children a truth you haven't
yet gathered? (34)
Look for the answers to these questions:
1. Why is the process of parenting usually so
difficult? (28)
2a. Who was meant to bear children? (29)
b. To raise them? (30)
3. How have we created a taboo around sex? (30)
4. What was sex intended to be? (30)
5. Why will our offspring pay little attention to
the taboo we have created around sex? (30)
6. Why have children come to accept that their
sexuality is unnatural? (31)
7. Why are we angry about sex? (32)
8. What root thought is at the bottom of many of
society's problems? (34)
9. What are our younger years meant for? (34)
10. What is the nature of truth? (35)
11. Why should the elders raise the children? (35)
12. How have we devalued our elders? (36)
13. Why are so many of us now living in emotional
and psychological poverty and depletion? (36)
