The number one priority in our human life is to serve – our creator / God / life.
In level of importance, under the creator – the most important thing is – serving yourself.
Below you in that order is – your significant other ( your husband/ wife / life partner ).
And below that are – your children.
They can’t surpass parents connection to each other which is a divine union aspect of natural law.
Below that is – your work.
And below that is – your service to the world.
If you look at that model, you might notice your model ( and model of the majority of people today ) is the other way around, opposite of the natural law hierarchy.
Everything is for the kids, they most often come first.
For men, their work comes first: “I have to put the food on the table first, I have to feed my family.”
You might put physical food on the table but – If you are not feeding your children with the right messages, in the right way, with the right behaviours, right feelings and support ( which is unseen, not physical ), your children are – starving.
And so is – your relationship with your wife / husband.
Because you are prioritising children above your relationship.
Because you are prioritising work above your relationship.
AND you are putting all that above – yourself.
How can you then expect to be the best vessel for your life, for your family, for your purpose…?
And where is your creator in all that?
Just because you are going to the church once a week doesn’t mean you are connected to God.
Thinking you are changing the world with your Facebook or Instagram posts is an illusion.
It may sound good and it may feel like it’s doing something good to thousands of people..
And you go: Good, I did something good today…
Whilst – neglecting your creator, yourself, your husband/wife/children?
You failed for today, even if you got millions of likes on your social media post, or earned millions of dollars selling your e-book.
And you are in debt.
To God, life, yourself, your family.
If you follow natural law hierarchy, things in your life will work itselves out.
When people ask:
How can I change the world?
What shall I support?
Does this matter?
Or shall I support this other thing?
Where should my focus be?
Your attention should be on your connection with your creator, on your connection with yourself and with your significant other, if you have one, and your children.
Focus on nurturing those connections, changing your unhealthy family dynamics – more than your work, changing people’s minds, trying to fix the society, etc.
When you have those things in order, respecting and honouring order of the natural law, pieces of the puzzle will fit in certain way and your life will work out in the divine order, based on your unique expression in the world.
And what ever you do in the other realm, in the society, will be less important.
