Sacred Child
How you treat children, is how you treat your inner child.
The way you were spoken to as a child, became your inner voice.
Your self-talk.
Children carry the codes of the future.
They are the REAL wayshowers.
The wisdom keepers.
By way of morphogenetic fields, and collective evolution, children are born with access to greater wisdom than their parents will ever know.
In the paradigm of the past, children were to be seen, and not heard. Children were felt as unconvenient, unruly, wild beasts, who were best when bent to the will of those who "knew better." Taught to fear. Restricted. Broken. Put in their place. Kept in check.
This manifested a reality wherein few adults ever learned, as children, what it felt like to have their unique, innate, sovereign wisdom respected, much less trusted.
Let me ask you this, Beloved...
How far did that paradigm take us?
How has living in a world wherein the majority of adults are walking around with bent, broken, fearful children within their Hearts, been working out for us, thus far?
Removing any preconceptions of "good/bad right/wrong," do you feel that fear and restriction is serving us?
For me, the paradigm of fear-based respect has felt backwards from day one. I feel that it teaches us mortality as an external concept, authority figures as enforcers of appropriate conduct, and any behavior as acceptable, as long as you don't get caught.
Fear programming has, from my perspective, manifested a reality of cyclical wounding, passed down, from generation to generation, ad infinitum.
Hurt people, hurt people. Loved people, love people. Nowhere is that feedback loop more clearly apparent than in our relationships with children.
That said, without conscious awareness of the overall effect which our collective experience of childhood has on our world, we operate in a sort of perpetual amnesia.
Repeating the past until we learn from it.
Neurologically and energetically, the patterns of how we are treated as children become the programs which shape the totality of our lives.
Without conscious rewiring of our individual neural and energetic networks, we continue to run our childhood programs throughout each moment of every day.
Until we learn to reprogram.
What if we created a world wherein we never had to reprogram?
What if each of us healed our own inner child so completely, that the cycle of fear and restriction just... ended?
Each time we meet children, either inner or outer, with trust, respect, and compassion, we are moving towards that end.
Within you, Beloved.
Within your Sacred Heart, rests a child who cries out for compassion.
Who asks to be held.
To be witnessed without scrutiny or judgment.
To be loved unconditionally.
To be allowed to breathe freely.
To be allowed to BE.
Offer love to the child inside, and you will naturally hold peaceful presence and patience for children outside. In so doing, you will be contributing to this great shift of consciousness now betide our planet.
Implicitly trust the wisdom of children, for they hold the keys which unlock our highest path.
If we follow the loving Hearts of children, they will lead us HOME, to paradise.
For my part, I would follow the child who has blessed me with her luminous presence, anywhere.
She's got the ticket, I'm along for the ride.
