For the Children

Greetings, dear Lightworkers!  Even though the cold winds of winter are still visiting many of you reading this channeling, March augurs the first hints that spring will arrive once again… and soon! Are you ready? Have you dreamed well during your winter’s hibernation and prepared your plans for the season which pulls so many of you back to action?

Quite often we and the channel are asked what one thing could be done worldwide that would have the most impact upon your beloved world and all of you who inhabit her. There are so many divergent answers to this query from an individual perspective… even from regional and national perspectives… Even so, we all agree on one path of action which can be chosen by all beings, awake and asleep alike, which would move your world into hope, growth and joy with great speed…

Be shining and loving examples of successful, caring and even divine humanness to all children everywhere.

There is truly no more important process or action you could choose, nor is there any project which is nearer or dearer to the hearts of the Ancients and the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Light. There are reports coming in from across the globe of children who have despaired of any chance to have a future of peace, abundance and growth and even who have despaired of having a future at all. From our perspective, we know that their future will happen and equally we know that each and every adult alive today has the ability to effect their future for the better. The challenge is to begin this year, now… in this moment to care so well that you improve the potentials that they will live. We therefore ask you to open your hearts and do all that you can for the children!

Where can you begin? As you have probably guessed, we have some suggestions…

For the children, be a living example of all that you wish them to become. Children (and most adults as well) learn best by observing and following the example of those they respect. Think about that for a few moments… What is it your own actions, deeds, words and thoughts are teaching the children who share your life experience? They are all watching and listening… what is it they observe and learn from you? Some of you will say, my child is just a small babe in arms yet… she isn’t even aware that she has toes! And we say, the soul of your babe is reaching out continuously and is soaking in the energies you have implanted within your resonant signature (aura) and is also in constant communication with your soul. Have you ever been near a baby as it learns to smile? They are constantly responding to their environment and to the smiles and sounds of their parents and siblings. They are learning! If you speak lovingly in front of them, they take note and grow with that sound and feeling. If you argue in their presence they take note of that as well.

Toddlers and younger children go further… they actually imitate the actions of those around them… even the pets and television characters. Do you want them mimicking angry examples or copying the resonance of the evening news? If so, that is your choice and we applaud you for your free will and beliefs. If not, change the environment of their day to day world.

We are always astonished at the number of parents who argue that their toddlers or young children are pacified by the television and that it is impossible to prevent them from watching it. These are the same parents who insist that they cannot prevent their children from eating fast foods and sugary, starchy diets. Yes, if they are used to these things they will probably kick up a fuss when they are taken away. But truly, why start them in the first place? And second, who is the adult/teacher in the situation? We are quite certain that if you feed your children healthy foods which are appropriate to their individual body systems and if you fill their brains with delightful and imaginative growth, the discomfort will be temporary and the results will bless them for their entire lifetimes.

For those of you who are fans of Dr. David Hawkins, we also suggest you read his studies of the effects of television upon the developing brains of children from birth to age 3. It is remarkable information.

And what of teenagers? Have you noticed how much these incipient adults crave heroes? If you disagree with this observation, notice how many are emulating athletes, movie stars and video characters. And isn’t it interesting how many have chosen their athletic coach as their hero! Why? Because these men and women inspire them to work hard, dream big, support their team members and accept the discipline needed to excel and succeed.

And what of those without such mentors? They inevitably find their own… heroes who epitomize some dream that gives them hope. The sad truth is that many of these heroes are not the most positive role models and few of them seem to be the actual parents of these youths.

We don’t suggest that you become saints or supermen and women to insinuate yourselves into the role of hero for your children. We do suggest that you live a life that you would be delighted to have them emulate rather than be embarrassed or horrified to have them copy.

For the children, we all pray that you will choose in this moment and in all the moments to come to exemplify compassion. Why is this? Because compassionate people care about the comfort, joy and success of those around them without carrying their experiences for them. Compassion is the energy of the old parable about teaching people to fish rather than giving them fish. Compassion leads good people to give their children the tools needed for a successful life on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Again, you needn’t believe as we do… we only ask you to give them a sound physical, mental, emotional and spiritual basis according to your own beliefs.

One day the channel sat with her cat, Goldie Locks, who had just had surgery and was still a bit groggy from the anesthesia. She had been instructed to keep the cat quiet for the afternoon so he  wouldn’t damage himself. (Channel’s note: Yes, Goldie Locks  was a male cat… he chose the name because of his beautiful golden coat… He was a wondrous cat with lots of attitude!) At first, she had trouble focusing on the cat’s needs because there was a lot of work waiting for her on her desk that day. And then she picked him up and let him get comfortable on her lap… the look he gave her was pure gratitude… and in that moment she realized that there was absolutely nothing more important on this entire planet for her to be doing. She sat with him like that for five hours while he slept and healed and while she felt her heart open in pure compassion and joy. Dear Goldie was a wondrous teacher!

For the children, dream big and then celebrate the journey that brings you to the realization of those dreams. Also, have you ever noticed how your dreams during sleep time evolve in response to the storyline? Many people avoid goal setting because they dislike the static energy of a well-defined goal. We suggest that even your goals assume this ability to change and grow as new data enters the storyline of your life. The original goal is chosen and set using the knowledge of today. Isn’t it only natural to adjust your goals and dreams to reflect those lessons learned along the way?

What does this have to do with the children? First, it shows them that you believe there will be a future. Second, it offers you a venue to teach them the principles of manifestation. And third, it opens lines of communication by which you can help them dream big, dream lovingly and dream miraculously.

For the children, let gratitude fill your heart until it overflows and all who stand around you are washed in its divine healing light. And as you do this, speak it aloud that your children might hear your heartfelt appreciation. Reserving statements of gratitude for those people in your life for holidays is a sad habit of modern society. By expressing your gratitude in ways that your children (and others, too!) can witness, you will give them the gift of connection. If you think about it, it’s hard to feel lonely or abandoned when someone is telling you honestly and often that they are grateful that you are in their life. Imagine the appropriate and glorious self-worth your children would possess if they were to hear this consistently from the day they are born.

As you also express your gratitude to others for work that is well done, the children will learn to do this as well. With this simple expression of appreciation comes another wonderful teaching:

For the children, practice respect toward all relationships… family, friends, people in all capacities, animals, plants… and more. Recently the channel went out to breakfast in a local family diner. There were two families already enjoying very delicious meals when she arrived. But the difference between the two families was remarkable. At one table the kids seldom sat still. They poked at their brothers and sisters and spoke loudly and disrespectfully to anyone who happened to cross their paths. They demanded attention from the frazzled waitress and never once thanked her for her patient service. When that family left, the table, floor and chairs were a mess from spilled food and other suspicious debris.

The children of the other family sat quietly, ate well, spoke courteously and thanked the waitress often for her attention. When the youngest little girl dropped some sausage on the floor her mother quietly guided her to pick it up without making her feel embarrassed for her mishap. And what was very interesting was that the parents spoke with them, had eye contact often with each, smiled comfortably through most of the meal and also said thank you often. The connection, the respect and the love beamed brightly from that table and all the other people nearby were blessed by their energy.

For the children, it would be wonderful (and it is essential) to begin teaching them that violence is not entertainment. If you do not understand the importance of this then we suggest you go to a local video game store. The majority of ‘games’ offered are based in violence. We find it remarkable that a mother who takes a stand against sending her children to war as soldiers will buy them games which teach them to be soldiers. Some insist that they only buy their children ‘age appropriate’ games. And yet they do not stop their younger children from watching as the older ones practice the mayhem involved in the stories being played out so realistically.

Your televisions are filled with violence… even the cartoons so many children watch for endless hours. Your movies use drama and terror to cause adrenaline pumping entertainment. Your books and websites offer brutality, sexism, pornography and more in an insecure environment that lures children into trouble and teaches them that those forms of entertainment are appropriate.

Recently the channel heard an interview in which a young boy was asked why he thought teens were not interested in attending live sporting events as much as in the past. The teen’s answer was to ask why they would want to go and sit in a noisy crowd and watch their sports heroes play when he could stay home and play a computer game in which he was the one playing the game and during which he actually became the hero himself. We wish to suggest that, if the sporting games are that real for the player, what about the level of reality of the war games and other such violent diversions?

Teach them more… teach them that entertainment offers play, fun, upliftment, sportsmanship, laughter, growth, insight, challenge and so much more. If you seek this form of entertainment you teach them to do the same. Sports are delightful and health giving, especially when enjoyed physically with friends and teammates. Movies can be written without the overuse of foul language and violent themes and still be compelling. Video games can be designed around story lines that are filled with adventure, growth, excitement and play.

Do you truly want your children to know how to fire a machine gun before they graduate from kindergarten? There are actually statistics which are ever increasingly depressing about how many murders and violent deaths the average child has seen before the age of ten thanks to the inspiration of television, movies and virtual reality.

How does this insanity stop? If adults don’t buy these products or allow them to be viewed the creators will change their focus to the products people are willing to buy.

For the children, we hope you will bear with us. We feel this topic to be so important that we would like to continue it in our next channeling in April. Until then, we thank all of you who are already living in this way and we also thank all who are deciding to adjust their lives in new ways that will bless all the children everywhere.

It is absolutely true that the children are the hope of the world. And it is equally true that they will learn hope from you.
