WHAT SHALL WE DO WHEN OUR CHILDREN ARE OLD SOULS?
May / 05/’11
To be a good father or mother is indeed one of the most difficult tasks any human being has always faced throughout History.
We, parents always expect that our children live better lives than us. We sincerely desire the best for them. We accept, most times that our children are indeed above a spiritual level than us. Sometimes we parents are on a higher spiritual level than them.
From a spiritual perspective it is our children souls who choose us before they are born. We only pray to God to give them opportunities of spiritual self-development.
Just imagine the blessing for being chosen by God to raise old loving souls! Our responsibility increases, but our blessings as well!
I'm sure you know one of these wonderful children. Perhaps you were one of them. This humble contribution's objective is to do our best to help them becoming successful happy people instead of unhappy adults. You maybe are a lucky grandparent who has one of these very special children, or even he/ she is one of your children. Other times he might be a nephew or a niece, Maybe a neighbor. Whatever that the occasion is, here are some very serious considerations about it.
We can accomplish a lot if our asked intervention is when they are between three to seven years old. Much before their amazing wisdom is buried under the many layers of intellectual knowledge.
The first thing that comes to my mind is to teach them to love darkness, instead of being terrified by it. Why do I consider this so?; Because this is when their pineal gland is able to “see” strange and very harmonious visions. These visions fall from our normal receptive sight. Beautiful shapes, geometric figures, colored lights etc. They are able to fully perceive them, but in our adult's ignorance we tell them that there is nothing there. We adults are parents, grandparents, older children, relatives including teachers. They then start to lose confidence in their visions. Their logic tells them that if only they are able to see them and the rest of people can't, then they are mistaken. It is the result of their imagination. Everybody has forgotten that much before becoming once more a living soul in a new body we attended a spiritual school. There, we were well instructed about the technology of the world we would have to live in. We even met our future parents in a sacred spiritual way.
We wrongly assume that acquiring a good education in a good learning facility would be enough; and what about our job as facilitators of wisdom? Instead of giving them instructions, for example when we take them outdoors to a public park or a national park we fill their minds up by what we consider very useful information regarding what in the park is. We've forgotten that they have eternal wisdom. We forbid them to use their creative imagination and learn by discovery. It is wise to let them be. To let them experiment their contact with Mother Nature. The same principle can be applied when we take them to a museum, an art gallery, a concert or to a foreign country. I know that you also have wonderful ideas about helping our old souls high to succeed in channeling their great potential in the best harmonious ways.
As always I invite you to share with us your insights and experiences on this subject.

Old Souls; our children. It is amazing to think that we are raising our parents or grand parents but then it makes sense since genes skip a gnenration and so why not souls. Then we get a more complete picutre and the truth about our generational learning curve.
ResponderEliminarDarkness is only fearful when it resembles "emptiness". However; when we can see within the darkness vislions, etc. then we should seek the quiet space which is there for our refreshment. Abandonment issues could make some fearful of the dark but the huge vacuum of space is always defeated by the love of our loving Creator!
