Changes

Hereditary influence creates an affinity and affinity is a living thing. It is only when the hereditary part is changed that the affinity ceases.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/karma-and-heredity#p11</ref>

As a general rule, all these affinities have to be surrendered to the Divine along with the rest of the old nature—so that only what is in harmony with the Divine Truth can be kept and transformed for its work in you. All relations with others must be relations in the Divine and not of the old personal nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/human-relations-and-the-spiritual-life#p20</ref>
