Children have much to teach

Page 7

FIRST PERSON

Human nature and a need to belong often repress us from saying what we feel

is important. The following prose is written with pure candidness as only a child could express.

Hear me.

Mine is not a political voice. Neither am I academic, economic, or racist. Sadly,

I lay dormant in most men and women, yet active and alive in all children. I am the universal voice of youth, and I need to be heard.

I originate from a different world, one you believe you already know everything about. Only I can boast of this.

In my world, direct knowledge and understanding of all natural law is an integral part of my being. The universe holds no secret.

Of relevance to this earth, I experience the very essence of what you call love, peace and harmony. Not just between yourselves, but all entities!

Regardless of the number of books written, or lectures told before adoring audiences, I still know more than you, and always will. Try fathoming the vastness of my comprehension, I'll leave then return a thousand lifetimes later to see if you are close.

Out of love for you and my creator, I willingly relinquished these heavenly gifts and descended to your level of consciousness. I am your child. I am here to enlighten.

Slowly, steadily, my pureness of spirit is tainted right from the very moment of

my physical birth.

As I grow, I often come to you with my grandest dreams and visions, only to

have them shot down. They are real to me, why did you say they are not?

You can understand then, why remaining in this body for any length of time is so difficult. On a daily basis, impure images and influences continuously attack me, as if trying to destroy my creator's plans. I could go on for days, months - years explaining all the wrongs of this world and the way it is being managed. I won't. My love for you is too great.

Instead, I will reveal precise, concrete ways with which you can rekindle the youth essence in yourselves. These can be likened to spiritual shortcuts. For the sake of your children's future, I hope you take them.

First, trusts previously hidden will suddenly become clear when you go into nature regularly and learn what it has to teach. Some lessons are grandiose, others obscure and mysterious. Talk unashamedly with earthy substances, plants and animals. They too share this earth and are overwhelmingly anxious to communicate. Watch the sky and its patterns. Learn secrets others wish to conceal.

Strengthen, not harden, your spirit and mind with physical challenges in nature. Do not conspire against elements, work with them. This step will prepare you for knowledge. Depending on your inner strength, it will also decide whether or not darker motives will overrule you (I'll make double sure you will fall flat on your face if you choose this path).

Bathe or shower daily with cold water. Do not ask why, the reasons will become evident over time.

Dream daily about all that you feel is right. Accept the fact that whatever you can imagine - is possible! This will pave your way to enlightenment (this law is one of my creator's best).

Tolerate other cultures, people, and spheres of ideas, even those totally alien to your own. Really, all of which you think you know shrinks into unimportance, then finally becomes nothing when viewed form higher realms. Search for my creator's truths and his only. In fact, you are like individual dots on a television screen, each given a certain color and vibration. You look around, seeing other colors, then declare yourself knowledgeable. You are not. Humility should become our greatest virtue.

But - love the one creator who CAN see the greater picture!

Be responsible. Another world is fast arriving. Uphold your daily work to put food on the table and a roof over your head. Dreaming is no excuse for duty.

If you perform these tasks, soon you will find new meaning in life. True beauty will attract and hold you, while repulsive ugliness will fall before your eyes. Bad habits will parish. You will fee great and won't be shy in showing it!

On the other hand, occasional low moods will swoop in, causing you to seek seclusion and introspection. Do not fight these - encourage them! It is hunger being sharpened. You will find that after these bouts, truths come to you as if by magic! And then you will finally become what you were meant to be!

For now, until my creator has judged you sufficiently progressed, I will continue

to elude you. From this day on, I will taunt and lure you onwards with little reflections of my essence. During these times, your spirit will glide so powerful and free you will not ever want to let me go.

You will experience who I am when:

You are in love.

You have children.

You are in nature.

You are in a crisis and I come to your rescue. I prefer that you do not wait for these times to come forth to openly talk to me. I am ALWAYS there!

You witness coincidences (actually small miracles).

Most of all, do not make the mistake of believing you are better than he, she, or it. More sacrifice than you my be willing to give in this lifetime is necessary to achieve saintliness. It is a realistic goal that comes solely through selflessness and compassion. You will know when you are there.

Keep searching far and wide for me. Eventually you will find I was with you all along. This is a fun part of life, the searching, the quest, the finding. I want you to know that it never ends and that it is beautiful.

I have said all that I wanted to say.
