The Greatest Gift To Give To A Child Your children came forth pure and eager and knowing that all is well, to try to remind those who have come before them of something that they have forgotten. And so, that’s why the generation gap will always be there. These bright young beings come forth feeling invincible, and their parents, who are not feeling so invincible, spend most of their life, teaching them to feel less and less invincible. And we say, how backwards is that? You’re wanting your children to be empowered. Self-empowered. That is the greatest gift that a parent can give to a child! The most effective parent is the one that gives birth and gets out of the way! Always there, lovingly, to answer anything that is asked, certainly, but not with that domineering, “Well I’ve lived, and I’ve had lots of experiences, and this and this and this has happened, and this is how it is, and the sooner you come to understand how it is, the better you’ll get along in this world…” And your child says, “That’s how it is for you, but that’s not how it is for me.” And you say, “Oh, well, you haven’t had the experience that I have had.” And your child is saying, “But you just have your own narrow, warped perspective, Mother. And your perspective doesn’t have anything to do with me!” You want your child to have a glorious experience, so just remember that for your child to live a glorious experience, he must be connected to Source Energy. So anything that you do that encourages that connection, is helping. Anything that you do that discourages it — is not. So if we had a child, or anyone, and we caught them doing something inappropriate, we would not amplify it with our words. We would take the hit, and we would identify what it is we do not want, and then out of it would come the rocket of desire of what we do want, and then we would just visualize, visualize, visualize, until we find peace within our vision. And when you have taken someone and their action as the heart of a vision that you’ve spent time on — your relationship improves, your experience is better, and they receive the benefit of the experience. But if you catch them, and see them, and worry about it, and think about it, and put mechanisms in place to prevent it, now what’s happening is you have not only amplified it, you have now made a commitment that is hooking you into that, so that the two of you are now hooked together in this thing that you do not want, until usually it gets big enough that you break apart. And then you individually go off with your same vibration. And then you attract others to fulfill that role that you’ve set up together. You’re here to amplify in each other an opportunity to eternally find your connection. So then we come around again: Which feels better, to see him as self-sufficient and thriving? Or to see him as diminished in his ability and struggling? Which feels better, to see him as an effective, safe driver, or to see him as a reckless, careless driver? Which feels better, to see him connected to Non-physical Energy…? Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, April 25th, 1999
