Recently I have been receiving a lot of questions on family life and children. This is a channeled writing in response to some of those questions. Therefore we say to you as you say to us:

"I have an 11 year old son who will be 12 in September. I have seen evidence of growing psychic ability as well as a mental learning capacity way beyond his years."

There are others who belong to this month and the signs that coincide within. Often there is an emergence of 'religious' aspects of the selves including the unresolved past-selves. There is, as we would say unto you, a special quality that many children of this time of re-emergence share and that is a heightened self of sensitivity. This age is tender for it is an age of awareness and it is VITALLY important that you, the parent, allow those who reflect goodness and gentleness within the self-area of the child. It is said of long ago, and the translation would be similar to, "A moldy piece of bread never makes the rest of the loaf better."

Habits are formed through visual queues. It is worth noting that no dependency or 'crutch' habit, where adults would say, I need this or that to relax - such as drugs or alcohol to make their day 'better' or to help them relax - we must simply share with you that the use of any substance to alter the natural sense and awarenesses is not something that is of Divine Mind, Universal Awareness or of any part of the higher self. You cannot teach coping mechanisms to children if you lack them yourself. The duality of this type of situation is that the adult parent is not the child's parent - for we often hear this - but that the child is the parent's friend. THE PARENT HAD NO ROLE IN BEING A FRIEND TO THEIR CHILD. They are there to act as a guide, a teacher, a confidant. Weak parents, who suffer poor parenting skills and lack self-love and who have not had a substantive childhood themselves, often befriend their child which is a act of extreme selfishness on the adult's part. As we said moments earlier, it is up to the adult to raise their consciousness, REFORM their habits and learn tools that will take them beyond their current abilities and awarenesses. These are the visual queues that the child will learn from. If the parent overcomes adversity, if the parent seeks higher pathways, if the parent is accountable for their choices and behaviors then so, too, will the child be so.

Children sense their way through situations and hence learn to trust their intuitive self as this is a survival mechanism they have which has not been taught out of them yet. Through the processes of conditioning and being taught to be homogeneous, the same as others, their creative and unique self is learned away and conditioned out. This is why the parent must TRY, just try, for it is within the effort that one excels and moves past their current status and locked position. To be one's self, to be truly 'special', one needs to be safe and that is not found within homogeneity. Society has its structure and within that everyone has a place and you have been systematically conditioned to follow suit and not to lead. The true-self, the intuitive self, must be allowed to be forth and come forth for within God's eye and the Universal plan there is no error. There is only the uniqueness that is found within any garden, dancing with color and vibrancy. But you make us saddened for we feel you, yes, you that we speak to on this subject, have been children who's days in the sun were limited, and who's creative self was shut away and not allowed to be.

Enter the portal of light and establish the recognition of the love of Christedness Energy of an ascended master and he that is and all those who seek the Anointment of the Anointed Force shall come unto him and yea, we say to you that the gift of re-birth and the recognition of release shall come unto you! Reinforce these beliefs by being reminded that you do not have to wait til your final hour, trembling in fear and doubtful wonderment, but you can embrace this realization of perfection now, at this moment in time. There is NO judgment, only that which you bring to yourself.

For some, as with 'the you' who were never really children, having been robbed by familiar faces disguised with masks of love and darkened eyes that laughed too infrequently, yea, we say unto them, stand before us and RELEASE THE PAIN of hollow yesteryears and stand with child and childlike trust and allow the light of Divine Knowing and the hand of universally perfect order to place you right! For the children shall lead the way and those who seek light shall follow their footsteps. Give of yourself and allow difference, embrace that which you do not know for these children will lead you into tomorrow, scribed by a greater hand that has molded mountains and honed rock while seas were brought forth. So, too, shall these children be the hands that guide tomorrow.

But be cautioned. There is a difference in their awarenesses and sensitivities. For they love spirit and see only that. They love calm and bring that to their order. They love kindness and flourish under nothing else. They move in ways of thought, willingly bringing you, the parent, to the edge of your own knowing and in SO DOING challenge the existing social structure which would seek to place a label upon such brilliance. Walk them to the edge of your knowing, then seek to go beyond your comfort zone and expand that part of yourself they reflect back.

You must set your boundaries. You must realize your importance of self and you own self-worth and this should not be impeded, for you, dear children of the wound, the damaged inner child, yes, that of the adult child who seeks to heal, you must bring unto yourself your own accounting of responsibility. Do not give others your power and self-worth. Do not arm them with the ability to strike out at you. You are of perfection and can only reflect love. It is yourself that blocks you from so doing.

Hummm. There is a dream of you of falling and another of reaching out and not being held up or caught, searching and not finding the safety. Yes, yes child. Now we are sensing you stronger. Ah, so you think it is by asking for strength you become stronger and yet hummm, yes, we see that you struggle and ask why God allows these certain things to happen. It doesn't seem fair. FOCUS for us, for your thoughts move rapidly and even though you are in the Midwest or away from us we still sense this floating aspect. So self-oriented. A child in your own right. Retreating within arts and crafts, a dabbler are you? GOOD. Then you will have no problem understanding this. Lead without fear and walk with trust for only you can support yourself and only you can stop yourself from falling by understanding, sweet adult child, that yea, we say to you, you have never been alone.

For you, gentle being, are the very aspect of universal perfection you ask us about. You are the child. You share with this child the tender soft-spot that yearns to be stroked with light loving hands while truths of trust and security are whispered in your ear as you seek restful sleep. My child, we love you and wish you only wellness. My child, come unto us and know your potential. My child, you are the reflection of all living human-kind and in so being, you are the perfection of life that has always been.

Also, he has a "hunger" for knowledge of God and the teachings of Jesus, picking up the bible and reading scriptures to me and my friend, Linda, whom we share a home with. Linda is very advanced spiritually and is able to understand this desire in him and satisfy his questions.

We are pleased with this interest. As you know and feel, God communicates in miraculous visions, some may seem strange for his ways are not our ways. Symbolism, yes, signs of tomorrows and dreams of yesterdays are the mists in which imagery comes to truth.

Speak and talk with those within spirit. Speak with the Divine, speak with the Christedness Energy and reflect that voice within your INNER being. The subsequent illumination and the essence of power that emanates from all mankind and prior beings envelops you with the protection, salvation and love of The Anointed Force when you call out and speak, becoming one with the very spark of creation you carry within. Spirit cleans, frees and rejuvenates the soul-self.

For you my children, yea we say to those who reach out to us, that you are both male and female. You are the Celestial expression of justice and mercy that is tempered with salvation for there is a natural law of compassion that holds you accountable. For yes, we have spoken about responsibility which can be delegated to another on your behalf, but accountability cannot. The masculine and feminine qualities that you reflect must be embraced and brought together for they are the features of light and darkness that lay within the self. If you deny the wholeness of this you deny your oneness and fall into conflict.

The deciphering of hidden torments and the cries of lamented sorrows are sought out for refuge and understanding by those who seek Divine Mind and the perceptions of God's truths in purpose and presence. The key is to know, to truly know that ALL are linked to Divine Awareness and within the purity of this allowing and realization, they, the individual and child - for are you not all children of finite reality- and you stand in awe of the omnipotent infinite universe. Those that fear and become affixed with 'mortal mind' and the limited teaching of societal labels become mirrored in that image of self and come to know its full 'reality' for this is not of God, this is NOT of Divine Mind, this is not the real you, but the you that you have succumbed to.

Many come to us in seek of an intermediary. They come to have explanation placed before them that which would neatly release them from their inner conflicts. The young fledgling that falls from the nest worries not for its wings becomes strong enough to lift it up. The chaff that falls from the flax when seeded in good soil takes root, and when you are born it is that image of Divine Mind you come forth as, proclaiming loudly your entrance into the world. And when you leave, you, so too, will leave with the essence of Divine Mind with you. Not much more can be said to this for this is the inescapable truth that you shall come to know. You come into this world with God and you leave with God.

Yes, yes, we have heard and hear what some of you say, "So much talk of God." Again, this word has affixed to it the power you bring along with you. This word has the impact on you that you alone place upon it. If you do not like our usage of it, simply choose another for yourselves and use this awareness instead. But for us, we have no desire or need to change our truths and in so doing weaken ourselves or this individual who allows us to speak and bring our thoughts forward to you across time, dimensions and through ages of ages.

We are the consistency. What you don't understand is that ONE, yea, but one of your actions affects you all. There are ripples in time and within these ripples there are the realities that ride the currents, as if they are ribbons of time. Think before you give your power to labels and assign to yourself a prescribed reality that is highlighted and hallmarked by others who are weaker than yourself, hence bringing yourself down to their level of comfort rather that rising to meet your own uniquely abundant life.

He has been tested at reading 11th grade level, but I feel he is even beyond that. His teachers last year wanted me to have him tested for ADD. I refused. I want what is best for this wonderful and special child.

Again if you believe in this label then you serve mortal mind, not Divine Mind. Good parenting and good living will take you all further than anything else. Continue to put the child before yourself as all those who love should put each other before themselves. There were the labels 'slow-children', 'head-start children', 'ADD children' and 'HADD children' and now there are labels for adults with the same diagnoses. Remember, all professions depend on clients They are services and doctors would cease to be if all their patients were well, drug companies would lose money and the health care industry, as you all have come to rely upon, would no longer be.

Yes, there are serious illness and maladies. Yes, there is a purpose for physicians and pharmaceuticals. Yes, there are slower children and children that do not learn at the same rate as other children, as is the same with adults. But look to the time, the era, the social move toward the individual's relationship with illness and how and why they seemingly have reoccurring problems. When one has a wound there is attention to it. As your society ages and the families become increasing detached emotionally and geographically, many individuals develop a relationship with the concept of illness and then this illness becomes all too real.

There are people who are chronic self-abusers for this is the way they have been taught to first, get attention, and second, receive love. Time and time again we seek individuals who bond unyieldingly with their illnesses; diabetes, oral and tooth problems, and lower back complications which are some examples of this we can give you. Yes, granted some are legitimate but it is not these that we speak of. Many illnesses are neurosis-based. It is like those who increasingly find themselves in dramatic situations and have absolutely NO idea of how they got involved in them when it was they, all the time, that re-created the situation. They lack a 'core-self' and then set forth to situationally-evolve a set of dynamics that get consistently blown out of proportion until it becomes, "He said this and she said that, and there it all must be true and only I can fix it, but what do I do?" Yes, indeed!

You see children, oftentimes when the dynamic is set forth it picks up its course-of-action, and in so doing takes on a life-reality of its own that is outside of the individual's control. Remember the old saying, "As you think is how you are?" You must have BALANCE. There is a fine balance that exists between madness and brilliance, wellness and illness.

Everything from the words you utter to the sounds you hear and take find residence, if you will, within the being and physical body. Just as this is so, we are not suggestive of eating animal proteins. In each living thing lives the memories and experiences of that, and within that, which reside in the cell memories within the tissues. All living animals are part of the creation-aspect and therefore should not feed on each other. This is base-energy and very self-oriented. There is a heaviness to this energy that binds one. The gentleness of life is what lives on throughout all time. Harshness and that which falls or dies, often by abrupt and abusive means and actions, resides within the individuals that exemplify this behavior and the individuals who partake, therefore condoning the behavior.

To answer your question concisely, do nothing but be a parent by example and allow your child to be a child before they become an adult. Guide them by causing no harm to any other living thing. Be proud of their difference and support them in their interests. Do not intercede or interfere in the path of any other for as you have your learning experiences, so do all individuals. Even darkness will pass and day will come.

Embrace differences and live your dream.
