In many modern families, parents, in their desire to protect their children, make a critical error: they use fear and comparison to shape their children’s behavior and beliefs. By placing examples of failure before their children—using family members, friends, or others as warnings—parents unknowingly create a cycle of fear that not only limits their children’s potential but turns them into villains of their own making.
This approach, rooted in fear-based parenting, sacrifices others to set an example of failure, in an attempt to keep the child “on the right path.” But what happens when a child is constantly taught that they must fear failure and look down upon others as a means of succeeding? They grow up unable to see the inherent divinity in themselves or others, and develop a rigid, judgmental mindset that divides rather than unites.
Sacrificing Others: The Fear-Based Comparison
Too often, fear is used as a tool of control in modern parenting. In an attempt to steer children onto a “successful” path, parents will say things like:“If you don’t study hard enough, you’ll become like your uncle Jack.”“If you don’t follow the rules, look at auntie Magdalene’s life—do you want to end up like that?”“If you don’t strictly follow our faith, look at the misery others are living in. They didn’t follow the rules, and now they’re suffering.”
This is where the issue lies—fear-based comparisons. The child is taught that others, especially those who did not conform, are somehow less worthy or failed. They are used as examples to scare the child into submission, into blind obedience to a set of rules or expectations. The message sent is clear: “If you don’t do as we say, you will be miserable like them.” This message is absorbed, often unconsciously, and creates a deep-rooted fear of failure and judgment.
The Cost of Fear: Building a Villain from the Inside Out
What these parents fail to realize is that fear does not produce strength—it produces resentment, anger, and self-righteousness. Children raised in fear begin to see the world through a lens of judgment, where success is equated with obedience and compliance. They become intolerant of anyone who does not follow the same path, believing that their own adherence to rules has somehow made them superior. They grow into adults who cannot see the divinity in others, and instead see them as “failures” who deserve their misery.
This child, now grown, becomes convinced that their success is because they followed the rules, while others are simply failures who didn’t. Intolerance for those who are different becomes ingrained. The internalized belief that they “succeeded” because they did what was told to them leads to a rigid and narrow perspective. They become almost impossible to teach about the deeper truths of life—that true success comes not from following rules, but from aligning with divine wisdom, the inner truth that resides within every soul.
The Spiritual Disconnect: Losing Touch with Divinity
This type of parenting creates a spiritual disconnect. By focusing so heavily on external compliance, the child never learns to look inward for their true source of power. Instead, they are conditioned to believe that success is about external actions—the rules, the behaviors, the societal expectations. True spiritual power, however, lies within. It is not about obeying man-made rules or fearing failure; it is about aligning with the divine wisdom within, and recognizing that each soul is equally valuable and connected to the divine.
In the Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood, we are taught that true success comes from spiritual awakening—the realization that our power does not lie in outward achievement or following external rules, but in connecting with the divine spark within us. Fear-based parenting robs children of this divine truth, leading them to believe that the world is about judgment, comparison, and division.
