May 2003 - "In the charge of woman is the care of the person of the human being and his children," wrote philosopher and author L. Ron Hubbard in his best selling book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. As we send cards, gifts and flowers to Mom this week we should take a moment to reflect on the important role she plays in a family. "It is not, then, any wild utopian thought that woman can be placed above the level hitherto occupied," wrote Hubbard. "And so she must be placed if the childhood of tomorrow's generation is to reach any high standard, if homes are to be peaceful and unharassed and if society is to advance." Kids constantly fall and bump themselves. They get sick. They have fights with friends that upset them. Accidents, nearly all preventable, are the leading cause of death in children. And if words are said while they are not fully aware and in pain, it can have severe effects later in life. Hubbard's research uncovered what really goes on in the hidden "reactive" part of our minds and how this affects our lives. It is here that we carefully store all the unpleasant, painful and upsetting experiences of our past. He also discovered why these experiences influence us in the future and cause stress, anxiety, and unhappiness. All that has to happen to activate this part of the mind is physical or emotional pain and a lessening of our awareness. When this happens, all activity and any words spoken get recorded by the reactive mind and they can have command value in the future--in the same way that the commands of a hypnotist can make people do strange things after he has woken them up. These occurrences subtly weave their way from incident to incident causing your life to follow the patterns set up in your reactive mind. How vital then that a mother be aware of these things and protect her children from reactive commands when they are hurt? Preventing accidents and painful incidents is the first step. You can influence and protect your child by focusing on the seven common sources of accidental injury and death: falls, motor vehicle accidents, drowning, poisoning, burns and fires, choking and firearms. Preventing an accident or injury from having any detrimental content is the next step. Be aware that any words spoken while a child is ill or injured can have an effect later. When kids are in pain keep the area silent. "Say nothing around a sick child or an injured child," says Hubbard. "Smile, appear calm, but say nothing." "It is a remarkable fact, a scientific fact, that the healthiest children come from the happiest mothers." The book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health may be the best present you could give your wife or mother this Mother's Day. "Woman, you have a right and a reason to demand good treatment," wrote Hubbard. For more information on the book visit www.dianetics.com oOo
