Synopsis

"The process of becoming a real good parent is in itself a growing-up experience. As you correct your child, the naughty child in you is loved. Unfortunately, most parents have had little, if any, corrective love in their formative years. They bring with them into marriage the hell of their parents and various childish, selfish cravings. More often than not, a man is just another child to his wife, competing with the baby for momma's affections - a spoiled brat, teasing his wife (the way he did his momma) to let him have his own way."When husbands and wives are immature, they are on the same emotional level as their children, so they are not only involved with their own childish intrigues with one another, but with their children's sniveling rivalry as well! So, everyone in the family continues to evolve madly and wildly because there exists no referee, no modifying factor of Divine authority in the home. That is what is behind all family tragedies."

About the Author

Roy Masters, who in his 80s, continues to broadcast the longest-running counseling show in talk radio history. "Advice Line," is an internationally syndicated daily radio program where callers discuss their most intimate problems and find genuine help and healing. For over 53 years, Roy has served as a daily voice of sanity and conscience to his listeners, with the uncanny ability to zero in quickly on core problems and help people take charge of their own lives. Over years of counseling as well as personal experience, Roy realized that the root of the power of negative suggestion lay in our wrong emotional response, and so he began to search for a way to help people overcome the hypnotic power of stress. After years of searching, he discovered a remarkably effective meditation method, and has been teaching it—with spectacular results—ever since. This “meditation exercise”—a simple observation technique called “Be Still and Know,” named after the Psalm “Be still and know that I am God”—is at the core not only of Masters’ unmatched track record in helping people overcome even the most serious mental-emotional problems, but now comprises the centerpiece of a successful program within the U.S. military (“Patriot Outreach”) that is aiding thousands of U.S. military personnel and their families overcome the ravages of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As the institutional home for his counseling work, Masters’ formed the Foundation of Human Understanding, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, in 1961. Through his daily radio broadcasts, lectures, seminars, his 18 books, countless audio and video programs—and now, over the Internet—he has helped millions worldwide, including many celebrities like the late John Wayne, extricate themselves from vexing personal problems, substance abuse and emotional traumas. He has also established a successful prison outreach and an innovative private K-12 school. Beyond all this, and at a time in life when most people would have long since retired, an energetic Roy Masters is delving deeply into yet another long-time interest—physics and cosmology. He has authored “Finding God in Physics” as well as a more technical treatise, “Gravity Driven Universe” and has lectured on “Electricity from Gravity” at the American Physical Society in Denver. Roy Masters and his wife Ann have been married since 1952. They have five grown children and 18 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Review

"What a pleasure and an honor it is to endorse this book!

I have had many years of training in the science of medicine. I have taught in universities and made contributions to medical literature and spent many years in private practice; then I heard Roy Masters' radio program . . .

I was astounded to find how right-on his principles were and how they filled in the gap I had always felt was missing in modern medicine. Today's fundamental misconception that science is the Truth is clearly rectified by what Roy Masters teaches.

The Foundation of Human Understanding has been a great help to me in my work with many difficult problem patients." (- Albert R. MacKenzie, M.D.)

"As a pediatrician I believe that as a parent you are potentially more dangerous to your own child than are any germs. If your child is having physical or emotional problems, it is a signal to you that you are doing something wrong . . . If you want to learn how to truly love your children (that is, protect them from harm, both from yourself as well as from others) then I prescribe the "medicine" in Roy Masters' book, 'How To Survive Your Parents.'"

-- - Richard Mittleman, M.D.
