Time passes a little. We arrived at fourteen o'clock and the group went to a second time for lunch. Rafael and Uriel take the kettle from their backpack and kindly distribute it among their travel partners. It would be the only meal of the day and they would only eat in the promised city again.
During lunch, they happily talk, listen to music, hydrate themselves and put on sunscreen because the sun was still strong. At that very moment, they remained with faith, claw and hope, though a little anxious and nervous. But this was already expected because they were about to discover a great mystery and even find meaning for their troubled lives, specifically in Philliphe's case.
They finish the meal in thirty minutes and they are on their way back to the first city that was still far away. Luckily, they could get there at the end of the night. So, every minute was important and the guides were keen to point this out.
They remain steadfast in the course and the feelings that predominate at the moment are the same although at every moment fate is closer. In addition to these, the homesickness begins to beat hard for the trio because they were accustomed to amenities that there in the desert would not find. Especially the seer who still had mother and brothers who helped him in all tasks.
Two more hours pass without further news and no living soul. The fatigue weighs on everyone by the long route already traveled and by the inhospitable climate that sucked their energies. As if calling for help, The Seer and Philliphe suggest another stop. The others accept and in the next eight minutes take advantage to drink plenty of liquids, eat something and receive guidance from the guides. After, they go forward and promise to walk uninterruptedly for another three hours. What a marathon!
In the period that has already been mentioned, they slow down but continue with the regular strides. When the light goes down once and for all, the guides use powerful flashlights that allow visibility. When the three o'clock is over, a new stop. This time it would be about thirty minutes.
In addition to the basic hydration, they decide to sit in circles in that dusty and hard soil. Side by side, the conversation inevitably arises.
— How much longer to get to town? (Asked the impatient Philliphe)
—Calm. Approximately two and a half hours. (Rafael)
—What is her name? (Renato)
— Familyng. (Uriel)
—Why this name? (The Seer)
—Because they consider themselves a great family and follow some basic precepts. Arriving there, we'll look for Isael.
— Cool. Got it. (The Seer)
— Any more information? (Rafael)
—No. Enough. (Philliphe contented himself)
—It's fine with me, too. (Renato)
They continued their rest in peace and silence. After the thirty minutes, they gathered the remaining energies and resumed the walk. Now the fate of the team was about to unfold.
In the remaining course, they had some problems: Renato had been stung by a scorpion and luckily the guides had brought the antidote and applied it immediately. He will improve. Besides, Philliphe had exhausted his strength because of his age and had to be helped. Glad they were close. At that point, Rafael and Uriel uttered words in another language, and then the portal had opened. Familyng showed in all its splendor and visitors were allowed to enter.
After passing the portal, they began to walk the narrow streets with their slopes of the tiny Familyng with its seven thousand inhabitants. The guides took them to a hostel in the main square in order to rest since it was past 10:00 pm. When they arrived at the hotel, they found the bases of the evening in the waiting room and, with certainty, went to the rooms (two). The guides stayed in one and guided them in another.
Immediately after arriving in the rooms in their respective beds, the members of the teams fell asleep. It had even been a long trip for those who were not used to it. They would dream of the next day that promised great news. Until the next chapter, readers!
Part II - Familyng
2.1- Values
Dawns. Soon the trio formed by Renato, Philliphe and the seer wake up and after fulfilling their basic needs like going to the bathroom, drinking coffee, brushing their teeth and wearing clean clothes decide to wake up the guides that they had not yet raised.
With the permission of the owner, they take the key and with her help they open the door, they approach the dormitories and delicately shake Rafael and Uriel. The strategy works and even with the scare they do not get upset. Then they join the group, take a shower and eat breakfast. After this, they leave the inn and after walking a little they arrive in the square and meet in the same with the guest Isael who had been warned by telephone.
All greet each other, hug each other, and settle into the seats available in the seats. The guides then take the word:
—Well, everyone, a challenge starts here. We will discover together "God’s code", words of God for angels and men. In the end, we will know more this invisible God and we will know which way to go. Okay? (Rafael)
—How will this be? (Philliphe inquired)
— We will ask inspiration to the divine and we will promote a democratic chat between us. At this moment God will reveal Himself. (Uriel explained)
—What subjects will be covered? (The seer was interested)
— There will be ten blocks involving the various human areas. We will start with the family block that has as an expert Isael. (Rafael)
—This. I am on hand to help you. (Isael was pronounced)
— Where do we start? (Renato asked)
—What do you suggest? (Uriel)
— I want to know about the values necessary and indispensable for a good family base. (Renato)
— Very well. All right, everybody? (Uriel)
—Yes. (The others).
—Let's begin. At the word, Isael. (Uriel)
— The family is a whole and for this whole being harmonious and happy is necessary commitment of all its members. Specifically, parents have greater obligations to be the trainers of their children. (Isael)
— And what is needed in addition to maintain cohesion? (Philliphe inquired)
— A daily work motivated by love and understanding, founding a good base of values. (Explained Isael)
—And what values would you recommend? (The Seer)
—Examples of humility, loyalty, generosity among others and you? (Isael)
— Complicity, faith, and claw. (Rafael)
—Temp to God, persistence and dedication. (Uriel)
—Work, love of life and respect. (The Seer)
—Honesty, simplicity, and delivery. (Renato)
— Patience, love, and affection. (Philliphe)
— Splendid. God is acting between us. And what would they do when all their efforts seem to have no effect and the children rebel? (Isael)
— I'd give them a good spanking for them to learn. Kkkkkk. (Renato)
—Jesus, Renato, I did not expect that. (The seer was amazed)
— Just kidding. I would change the focus and let life teach them. (Renato)
—I would try other ways to make them see the path of light. (The Seer)
— And what about more dialogue? I would do it, therefore, a good conversation always produces results. (Remembered Rafael)
—Good. In addition, I would ask for help to the heavens to help me in difficult times (Uriel)
—Very well. He would use my example to inspire them and declare my love for them. (Philliphe)
— Good, Philliphe. This is what we should do. We must love our children at all times whether they are wrong or not. Love works miracles. (Isael)
— About religious direction, what do you suggest, Isael? (The Seer)
— I recommend not forcing anything. Let the children grow up and decide which way to go since free will exists for this. (Isael)
—I agree. I disapprove of the conduct of the parents who take the child to his Church, baptize him, without even thinking about the consequences. (Rafael)
—It is important to be open-minded and to understand that God is in all beliefs and that religiosity is not a prime factor for the salvation of an individual. (Uriel)
— The biggest problem is when the parents are of different religions, there the beast catches. (Philliphe recalled)
— It's a big problem, and the kids get hurt. (Reinforced the seer)
—Independent of this, the own life, the day-day ends up to influence the individual building slowly its Maktub and the two types of destiny. It changes religion, beliefs, rebels, the important thing is the maintenance of values, that is, it is not the fact that it is an A or B religion that will have character. (Renato)
—Bright, Renato. Character is essential and it is only possible to construct it with the values quoted and as I said with a continuous work. (Isael)
—What do you think is most important to keep the family together? (Philliphe)
—Love, understanding, respect. To be a companion in good and bad times. (Isael)
— I did it. Too bad I lost my loved ones so early. (Philliphe)
Inspiring tears stream from Philliphe's eyes wetting his entire face. The fact thrills everyone who comes to console him. Here was an example of a battling man struck by fatality.
—What do you want me to say? You know it was not anyone's fault. It had to happen. (Isael)
—The important thing is that you have not given up on life and that you are here to learn a little about this pain. (Rafael)
— We will learn together with God and in the end the goal is to overcome this even if you do not forget. (Uriel)
—Strength, my friend. (The Seer)
—We're here. (Renato)
—Thank you all. Can we take a break? (Philliphe)
—Of course. What do you think? (Isael)
—Yes. (The others)
The group stopped a bit and took the time to hydrate themselves, eat a snack, wander around the square and listen to a song. The next family-related subitems promised great discoveries and would enrich "God’s code" that showed some of the invisible God present in all. Let's continue then.
2.2-Marriage
The group return to the starting point in the square after a brief rest. With all gathered, the chat is resumed.
—What family sub-theme does you suggest to start a new discussion? (Asks Rafael)
— How about we talk about marriage? (The seer suggested)
—I think it's good. Do you guys agree? (Rafael)
—Yes. (The others)
—With the word, the seer. (Rafael)
— What are the requirements to achieve happiness in your marriage Isael? (The Seer)
—First, choose the right person. Afterwards, cultivate the relationship with love, respect and understanding. I think this is enough. (Isael)
— What do you think of current relationships where separation has become commonplace? (Philliphe)
— Advances of modernity. Every day, the demands on each other have become greater and tolerance has diminished what is a great pity. (Isael)
— Is it possible to be happy even without being married? (Asks Renato)
— Of course, young man. Happiness lies within ourselves and not in the other. Being alone is just a detail. (Isael)
— How to know if I'm going to be a good father? (The Seer)
— Easy. If you are a good son, you will be a good father. (Isael)
— I agree. It's a matter of values. (Philliphe)
— Let each of us give the example that in the future we will reap the fruits of our efforts with a prosperous family blessed by Yahweh. (Rafael)
— Unity is strength! Search for your fellow man, says Yahweh. (Uriel)
— In my case, despite the terrible example I received from my father, I know that if I ever marry I will not disappoint my children. I will treat all with justice, love and respect, things I have learned from the guardian, my foster mother. (Renato)
—Congratulations to you, young man. This is a rarity. (Isael)
— And how it is! My father also beat me for some reason because I had learned this from his parents. However, I will not follow this example because it educates with dialogue and not with violence. (The Seer)
—It depends. Have you ever been a father? Have your children push the limits and challenge you? (Inquiry Philliphe)
— No, I never was. But does anything solve with aggression? (The Seer)
—Not aggression. But sometimes spanking is a holy remedy. In my own experience. (Philliphe)
— Not a good solution. You will only cause fear in your children. (Intervened Raphael)
— In addition, small children do not understand much of values. It takes patience. (Uriel)
— That's what I say. You should never hit a child for any reason. Why not hit someone your own size? Mistreating children is easy and frustrating. (The Seer)
— Got it. You really are right. I made a mistake with my children thinking I was doing good. (Philliphe confessed)
— It's all right. It's over. The important thing now is to move on, rebuild life and I see that you are willing to do so. (Isael)
—I hope so. (Philliphe)
— You have children, your Isael? (The Seer)
—No, I have not. (Isael)
— If you had, what minimum requirements did your son-in-law or daughter-in-law have to have? (The Seer)
—First, my son's love. Also, be a hard worker, honest, friendly and out of the dark. (Isael)
—Damn it! How much demand! Kkk. (Laughter) (The Seer)
—But that's how it is. In order to achieve a healthy relationship, this is the minimum. Ever thought your daughter-in-law or son-in-law would be angry with you and harm you with spiritual work? Of bad people I want distance, that is, each in its place. (Isael)
— You're quite right. You shall not seek evil, and you shall have the shadow of God within your reach, thus says Yahweh. (Rafael)
—And more: "Evil is a wound that bleeds and has no cure". (Complementary Uriel)
— Even so, we must remember the power of free will. We can advise, but never interfere with the decision of our older children. (Isael)
— And what a Maktub! I learned from the seer. (Philliphe recalled)
— We must also be authors of our own history, helping both types of destiny. Never mere spectators! (Renato recalled)
— God says also: Take your yoke and your staff and follow me. This is what really matters to be happy being married or not. (The seer concluded)
— Stop of five minutes for reflection. Holy God and strong God continue to inspire us to write his “ Code”. Let's go guys? (Isael)
—Yes. (The others)
In this time span, Rafael, Uriel and Isael meet and share secrets. What would be of more interest in the next subitems? Keep following, readers.
2.3- Expenses
The pause ends and the group meets again in the same place as always, on the benches of the square. This time it is Uriel Ikiriri who takes the floor initially:
—We'll talk about family expenses now. Who is eligible to ask the first question to Isael?
— I. I will speak from my personal experience. Since when I was very humble, I consider this life as very fleeting always making a point of spending all my salary until the end of the month. Of course, I've never wasted my financial power with nonsense, but I've always looked for alternatives to enjoy my work. Would this be a correct attitude? (Philliphe)
— This is a view followed by some people and cannot be conceptualized as correct or not. I'd say you're closer to the first one. However, I would advise the family to keep at least ten percent of their income as a reserve because you never know when we will need it. Life takes many turns and is unpredictable. (Isael)
— I got it. Thank you. (Philliphe)
— In what activities would you suggest concentrating a family's expenses? (The Seer)
— It depends on the financial situation of each one of them. There are some who can only meet their basic needs and others who cannot. I would recommend for a middle-class family focus on food, health, education, leisure, transportation, donations and reservations. Being that for these last two ten percent for each. (Isael)
—It's ok. (The Seer)
—Do you think the formation of an important personal patrimony? (Renato)
