15.  FINAL CONCLUSIONS: INDICATIONS FOR PERSONAL DHARMA REBIRTH

A new area of my life began at eighteen that bore fruit because of those early favourable years, although clearly in this life of Samsara it is a far cry from the ideal world that one imagines in adolescence and the apparent reality of a completely stained world.

In summary, it is clear that a favourable birth requires a rich environment, freedom for sensitive expression, the absence of acquisitive elements, complete freedom of choice in ALL matters aided by wise council, conditions in which there is NEVER punishment, only SUPPORT, and NEVER reward or praise for performance.

It is true that punishment and reward function as behavior conditioners, but with state, church, education and the social environment as the controller, the results are a disaster for any child.

I shall examine here two areas of great importance:

--- How those who have not been fortunate in their birth, and there is a great range of situations which are more or less favourable, can in later years after the fateful run through Samsara, recreate a new favourable birth for themselves no matter what their history has been or what their present position is.

--- How parents today, now involved in a much more difficult world, can generate a favourable environment for their children, which they truly can see must be developed because their circumstances are not ideal.
