A mother who is expecting a baby must become aware of the powers she has to influence this child well before it is born. It is not enough to love this child before it is born, the mother must learn how to use the powers of love. So, by thinking of her child the mother is able to project her love to the sublime regions to gather elements the child will need later on and to infuse the child with these elements, elements which will work on it to make it into an exceptional being. How could a mother think she can give her child everything it needs solely with her own resources, without fetching them from elsewhere, from higher up, on the spiritual plane? So, now and again, a few minutes several times a day she should stand before God, through thought and prayer, and say to Him: ‘Lord, I want this child you are giving me to be Your servant. But to achieve this I need other elements, which are only found near You. Please give them to me.' You will say it is not easy to stand before God. Of course not, but it is merely a figure of speech. Simply by thinking of beauty, of light, of eternity, the mother will attract higher subtle elements and will project them on to her child.
