Spirituality isn't "elite" on the contrary it is a collective co-creator energy. Which means, that they who are unaware of their spiritual gifts are KEY MANIFESTORS in the process.
In the NOW, these are children... frighteningly stepping in adult shoes too early, because, the only rules they know are "I am an ADULT, so YOU LISTEN TO ME"
Children, their experiences on the Earth especially from Conception to the age of 9 are the sages, really. If we stop long enough to LISTEN to their perspectives. However, COMPARISON has caused us to NEGATE their STRENGTH and FOCUS our ATTENTION on their "SOCIAL ABILITIES".
Unknowingly, we are REPEATING HISTORY instead of CREATING NOW, with them.
Blessed to have fantastic examples in my Family and in the children and parents I am blessed to UNDERSTAND. I remember, only last year, I felt it was MY DUTY to CORRECT their path. This year, I am blessed to ALLOW them to be their own teachers.
It is natural progression that the more we are made to depend on OTHERS the further we are drawn away from our own destiny. There are no WRONGS and RIGHTS here, this is HOW IT IS!
Parents raise CHILDREN to FIT and STAND OUT in SOCIETY. Which means, continually putting their focus on "conforming" to social structures and status. This process, however, causes the parents to put Society first and their child second, causing stress and creating stressful situations in the home and school environment. Schools have a set "matrix", a "uniform" culture, where HOMEGROWN energies, come together.
Practically, what we are doing is creating "conflicting" realities for the Children. This way, we're raising CONFUSED adults.
Focus on your CHILD's abilities, focus so powerfully, that you are able to see him/her as they ARE not who YOU VISION them to be ... SOCIALLY. And you will come to realise... that all they require is to grow up believing they can be or do anything they CHOOSE.
I don't know where or how I learnt the art... so, I am going to GIVE GOD all credit and glory for the GIFT of being a child with children. Giving them the FREEDOM to express themselves, let them choose and keep tiny promises to see them as they are, not how they should be. The only "on loop" conversation with them is to ACKNOWLEDGE their "Oh Wow" and add a dimension of How many ways they can do the same thing and letting them choose which one makes them feel more confident.
A tiny example, my Nephew Veer, felt PRESSURED each time we used the word STUDY. He would switch off, to him STUDY means "always being told what to do", no fun and so, the moment STUDY came up, he would have enough to do's to delay. He is a kid who loves reading, so it was a challenge to help him see his books in the same light. Last summer, we decided to have some fun, while he was with me (In his mind, I am not his teacher, I am just someone who allows him to do what he chooses, he is free to be himself with me). So, we decided to simply lay on the bed and read chapters from his book. "let's read" time... he had the choice to cuddle up and read, rest and read... no learning. I explained to him, that he didn't need to study, just read. We would both take books and read together, ONE chapter from each subject :).
In three days, a new found excitement about reading, Veer, realised, that each time he read the chapter, the more he "needed" answers. Raised his Questions about what he read (I had to read his chapters too... I don't know everything). He would give me his book to read aloud to him (rules for him are rules for me too) and I would make mistakes and HE would correct me (gave him confidence).
It is NOW his BEST FRIEND... Reading... not something he will remember being taught, yet, is a part of HIS STORY. I imagine him, wanting to lie down and read in school... only part that scares me sometimes... is him teaching others the same trick ;)
