When Christ Jesus made the statement:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword," it caused consternation to many who followed him as the Prince of Peace and it has continued to do so to the present hour. Beloved ones, that declaration, together with that which follows—
"I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household" have in common the purpose of conveying a message of protection to each lifestream.
The Saviour proclaimed to all mankind the need to protect the very God-design which belongs to them. Therefore, if some should presume to tell others how to live, they would be setting at variance family and friends. And if a man choose consciously to seek, find, and follow his own God-design, although that very pattern may not please father, mother, friends, or society, that man should accept it albeit it set him at variance with those who yet hold the world's concepts of fulfillment…”[from “St. Germain on Alchemy”
(alchemy of spiritual transformation)]
Note: In other words, others ought not interfere with your divine life plan — even though they might be well meaning, it’s a fine line between being helpful and interfering. And the ones most likely to cross the line are family / which can include the ‘family of nations’.
