The Children

Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.

Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight.

 Jesus loves the little children of the world. 

This is the song I have been singing in my head most of the day. I began to sing it after thinking about the children growing up today. I feel sorry for them. Bombarded by so much information all the time. Such easy targets.

If you want to truly know the state of the world today -observe the children. What are they doing? How do they spend their time? How do they treat one another? How do they treat the Earth?

Children are reflections. They mirror everything. I see this in my own children, but as an educator and counselor I see it also in others’ children.

I have also been thinking about the ascension movement and its potential to  affect the young, newly emerging “seekers”. I am so very happy that my awakening occurred before ascension had become “mainstreamed”, before people began openly talking and sharing their experiences. Yes, I felt alone and a bit “crazy” because I had few connections, but it forced me to rely upon my inner guidance rather than on the opinions and advice of others. This, for me, was crucial.

Had I awakened in my mid-twenties now I would have been a goner. No doubt in my mind. There is no way my fragile ego could have resisted. My four year journey through the dark night would have been doubled, maybe even tripled. I likely would have awakened sooner, too. That would have been worse!

Although I think it is great that people are less afraid to talk about their experiences, I see also the traps that lie in wait for the naive and unprepared.

I feel for the newly awakened. I pray they listen to their inner voice. I pray they are able to differentiate between their Higher Self and their Ego Self.

Sadly, I fear most will hear their Ego. They will hear what they want to hear. Just like I did. But because of the extent to which this spiritual awakening, this spiritual shift, is being spoken about, written about and shared globally, I sense an even larger hurdle is up and coming.

I see evidence of this all around me. I’m not pointing fingers. I’m just observing. I’m sad because I know the only way out is through. But worst of all is that they don’t even see it themselves.

I understand so much now about why I am so drawn to the little ones. We must protect them. We must teach them. We must prepare them.

 

Searching? You are Right Here

After revelations from yesterday (soul braid/walk-in), I have woken in “search mode”. Yet as always I am finding nothing that resonates; nothing of significance that sings to me, “Yes! This is what I am experiencing!”.

Instead I find many, many other souls searching for themselves. They seem to have some things figured out but most are just lost, endlessly trying to identify with this Earth existence, trying to attach themselves to one form of expression or another.

Some are lost in the idea of being a walk-in, Starseed, Channel, or other label (there are so many my head hurts now!). They have given themselves up to this, in some cases alienating the very people who love them and support. I read one about a woman who gave up custody of her little one in favor of becoming the labels she identifies with!

I give up on my search. It is pointless and endless, serving only to complicate and confuse my experience, limiting it to that which is but a label of something which cannot be contained in a label or human category.

Yet I find myself using such labels to explain what I am going through. This is unfortunate yet a necessary component of the human experience. The limited nature of this experience and the human mind’s capacity to understand that which is unlimited calls for such categorization.

If you find yourself in such a quandary – reaching to find some explanation or similar experience to your own – it is OKAY. However, if you become overwhelmed, frustrated – if your thirst to KNOW has become insatiable in your search – then slow down, retreat and take a break. There is no need to put yourself through such a maze of never-ending questioning and self-doubt.

Retreat into your heart space; into your Knowingness. This is your truth. This is your experience. No other will have exactly this experience. You are unique. You are special. You are loved just as you are no matter what label you or others apply to yourself.

Beware the human traps. This experience is not to be boxed up with a ribbon attached. This experience is meant to be expansive and expressive of you. No one else. Just you.
