The Modern World

As many of you know, I recently found my brother – or should I say, he found me – after a 25-year absence. Since connecting, we have not stopped talking on the phone, sending messages via Facebook, and thinking about each other. He mentioned yesterday that, when we were children, we did not have technology like we do today. In our house, we did not have the phone connected until I was 22 years old. As a child, if we wanted to make a phone call we needed first to find a phone box, then press Button A after inserting the money, Button B to end the call and – if necessary – get any money back. Fifty years ago it is what I did for my mother all of the time when she had to work late or give messages to her employer. I never realized until my brother mentioned it how much life has changed since my childhood and teenage years.

As a teenager, I was trained to be a shorthand/typist. Today you would be lucky to find anyone who works with shorthand. Typing for most people is with one or two fingers, and nobody cares a hoot. Since talking with my brother, I have recollected so many things that it has been a real eye opener. We did not have a fridge, or a washing machine, or dryer either. I think I was about 12 and my brother 8 before we had both of these things in the house. My mother had a big copper (as she called it), a large copper vessel on legs which had a gas burner underneath to boil the water to get it really hot. She would then drop in a “dolly bag” as it was called, a cloth bag filled with whitener. The whites would be put in first and, after they were removed, the colored clothes.

One Man’s Truth – Continued

It is so hard trying not to influence anyone and allow people to make their own decisions. Alan and I are very alike – born two days apart, both Libras. Our lives mirror for each other in all we have done with our lives despite Alan being 9 years younger than me. I would say that 80% of our lives are lived believing in the same things, but there is a 20% part of us which is very different in what we believe in and the way we deal with it. Thankfully, most of the time we are OK with that, but sometimes we do not agree and beg to disagree! I have learned from Maitreya and from being with Alan that, the more I try to change him to my belief, the harder he fights.

Oh, if only parents could see that this is a very important factor in raising children – especially teenagers. I must say here though that, when my children were teenagers, I did not interfere with their belief system in anything. My son became a Christian despite my being metaphysical. I never interfered with his doing this, and despite the fact that he tried to influence me to go back to the church, I never influenced or criticized him in any way to give up his beliefs. Eventually he, like most people, moved on to another truth – away from Christianity – but he did it on his own without influence from me or anyone else for that matter.

Parents are the worst people for interfering. As an astrologer, I know that each person is here to work out their own life path. Nobody can be the same – even twins, triplets, quads, etc. Although they have the same chart (often an identical one), they are so different from each other, both of them being different personalities and with different ways of learning their life lessons.

Intuitive Children – Final Words

So what does one do if one has a child who is intuitive? Find books at the library for them to read if they are old enough to read. Visit spiritual centers and ask if they teach children’s development classes. We can help you with individual teaching for your children. We have a number of wonderful healers and teachers who can assist you via Skype and telephone. It does not matter where you live; we can help you to educate your children. I have not, as yet, written a children’s book on the intuitive arts, but writing this blog has set off the question of whether I should do so or not. I have a friend in New Zealand who I know would write a wonderful children’s book. If she reads this, she knows who she is.

Let your child develop slowly; do not force it upon them. I had a friend who was constantly asking her son, “What do you see” – and other words of similar ilk – until her son got so sick of it he refused to talk to her about it and closed down. I have never forced or coerced my own children to use their own intuitive energy. They discovered it on their own. My son has beautiful healing ability, and my daughter can see auras as clear as day with all the colors in them. She also reads the cards, but only for friends and herself. I did encourage her to try working the energy by reading cards, but she chose not to; it is her choice. People around me are amazed at the talent she has, but she will not use it. She uses it in other ways. She is a childcare worker with her diploma and uses her energy for her own children and for others when she works. She does understand intuitive children though, and that is a blessing for her as many of her children’s friends are also very intuitive. If you have a child who is intuitive or who shows healing ability, I would love to hear from you. You truly have a very special child!

Intuitive Children – Continued

I still remember the abject fear I felt when I went to bed and felt people in the room. I even occasionally saw them. Nobody could tell me anything, and I was frightened to speak to my parents (or anyone else for that matter) about what was happening to me. Imagine being told to communicate and having no fear to speak with these energies. How awesome! I honestly wish I could have done that as a child.

From 1980 onward there was an enormous release of energy around the earth plane which affected children born at that time. Those children are now almost 30 years of age and are going through their Saturn return. Many of them have children of their own, and most of them encourage their children to use their gifts. Hopefully, there will come a time when we will all use this ability and understand the spiritual part of us rather than be in fear of it or run away from it. It has been suppressed for far too long, and once we begin to understand it and use it, our lives can be so much better. Puberty more than anything is the trigger for many children’s intuition because it is all hormonal, and it is the hormones that are triggered by the spiritual energy. After puberty, pregnancy, and then menopause also trigger the energy, but it is at puberty when the energy is at its strongest for spiritual work and development.

If you have a child going through puberty, are they becoming more aware spiritually or intuitively? One can buy books today which can help children to understand their intuitive energy, but there are very few classes available for children and young people to learn how to learn to do it, and also to understand it in an easy and open way without fear. It is time to change that and begin the teaching on a more global scale.

Intuitive Children – Continued

I have seen children as young as 18 months who are intuitive. It is not something that needs to come in when a soul is at a certain age; it is with them when they are born. Often I have been talking to a person and watched their child “watch” the space around me as if they could see something nobody else could. Of course, animals have this ability also, and this is why we feel so wonderful when we hold an animal or stroke them. They, too, (as has been proven) have healing ability, but we cannot talk to them and ask what they see, whereas with a child we can do so.

To me the most important thing is to let children know that their intuition is nothing to be feared and to encourage them to use it whenever they can. My concern, though, for my grandchildren is that the energy of our house could really create problems with their intuitive talents. The house is very energized. In fact, people comment on the energy as soon as they walk in the door. When my daughter came to our old house, she had vertigo for a number of days after her arrival as did her sister-in-law. I suppose time will tell; I will not know until they arrive. It was interesting in the fact the women had the vertigo but the men had nothing!

More and more children today have the ability to be intuitive and many of them – if not born with it – develop it before they are 10 years old. They need to be taught how to deal with the energy and how to use it to help others. I know it will happen eventually, but we can start now by talking about it around our children or grandchildren and encouraging them to speak out about it when they feel the need to.
