Summary
The first Life Question comes from Ivana in South Africa, a mother of three young children, who wants guidance on teaching her children about God outside of religion. (See * below for resources.)
Next, Andrea in Maryland wants to know what's a good balance between "acting as if" she already has what she desires, and "doing the spiritual work" to manifest her desires.

| 0:00.0 | Peace and bless. Peace and blessings, everyone. |
| 0:42.2 | I'm Michael Bebeckwith, your host for Take Back Your Mind, Life Questions, and the founder |
| 0:48.3 | of the International Spiritual Center known as Agape International. |
| 0:52.0 | I welcome you today. |
| 0:53.3 | It is my pleasure and my honor to receive |
| 0:56.5 | these questions that you are emailing to me and seek to get in through these questions to such |
| 1:03.3 | a degree and to answer them. Once again, thank you for sending them. And thank you if you didn't send |
| 1:09.7 | them for listening. Ivana from South Africa |
| 1:14.8 | writes this. I'm a mother of three children, ages seven, three, and one. I've not had a conscious |
| 1:22.7 | or deliberate conversations about God or the true nature of reality with my children. My husband and I have |

| 1:57.8 | The question is, how can I teach my children about God? |
| 2:04.6 | Where daily practices can we as a family start? That would create a strong foundation instilled in truth, |
| 2:07.6 | based on new age and not a particular religion. |
| 2:12.6 | We do not have a spiritual community like Agape that we belong to that fully reflects what we would |
| 2:20.0 | like our children to align with. |
| 2:23.3 | So I feel like I need guidance in creating that community in our home for our children, for |
| 2:28.1 | ourselves. |
