Since working so hard with my son. I find all these things to be what i tryed to teach. Or to instill inot him. Thinking it would help him to grow and heal as he was dealing with all his issues.

• Be authentic.

• Refresh their consciousness; appreciate beauty and other good things in life.
• Understand that controls are good, and complete abandon is bad.

Be authentic. He had to be true to him . I also had to be the same to him. Other wise it would not have worked. Not that I was persfect as I am far from it. I was myself with him . If i was not true to me then he I felt would not learn to be true to him and others.
"Know that life is precious." that he learned at a very young age. I think its one of the values I hope he holds dear threw life.

"Learn from their inner nature." He at times would try to fight against that. ((his inner nature)) which caused him pain.
I hope I kept him on the path of knowing he had to know his inner self.
sorry if I rambled.
