Rearing Children on the Path
An Invitation to the Cave of Symbols

     Blessed hearts, in the fervor of Divine Love I am come to you in this hour. So grateful am I that I may come back to tell you, who are on the other side of the wall,1 so to speak, of the glories of reunion in the realm celestial.

     I speak to you, then, of your understanding and your practical knowledge of what must be done to right the axis of society, of education, of government, of the hearts of many who are hardened.

     When you see representatives in government and industry so bloated with the fat of their own selfishness and lust, you could almost despair of civilization ever moving forward into a golden age. I say to you, make up for those who know not what they do, many of whom have lost their souls long ago and snuffed out the threefold flame for want of tending it in daily invocation at the altar of God.

     I would speak to you of music as an instrument to call many souls Home. The music you have written, orchestrated and performed is a magnificent magnet. As you continue to bring forth this music, releasing it to the nations as quickly as possible, you will find that many who are lost will be drawn to this altar or to one of the altars of this Church that you have raised throughout the earth. And they shall swiftly know the Path and set aside all past ignorance. They shall know the way, beloved, for they shall follow the music all the way Home to God.

     Let this work be a priority, for the music of Elohim can and does heal nations and souls when pure hearts and voices deliver it. As music such as Finlandia could galvanize a people for freedom,2 so, beloved, this music can galvanize souls to return in simple sweetness to the heart of the Holy Christ Self.

     I come, then, with our children, Rex and Nada, also ascended. What a happy reunion it is when an entire family (and even an extended family) finds itself ascended in the Light and free in the etheric octave!

     This Community of the Brotherhood is a great family of souls that extends throughout the world. And there are many, many more to be drawn to this place, which, if they make it so, can be the place of their souls' liberation.

     May you indeed cherish God-Reality and never for a moment compromise your path or your soul. For God is truly present in his All-Seeing Eye. That eye can guide you and, if you follow it, you need never err again.

     This is the path of victory. Know that it is fraught with many dangers. Keep on the Path, beloved. Do not stray from it. For the Path will guide you until you are at home in Divine Love with all whom you have ever been with in past incarnations, all the way back to the Beginning, when you were created with your twin flame.

     We are interested in accelerating the education of children who come through the dispensation of this Church. We are concerned that they will have the wherewithal to bring back the culture of Atlantis and Lemuria from when the civilizations of these continents were at their height. The culture of music is especially important, for it is essential to the healing of their souls.

     Let the children rejoice in gymnastics, in physical development, in the healing and expanding of the mind that the mind might be the chalice of the Mind of God.

     Let children know at an early age that they can listen to the voice of the Inner Christ and commune with that Christ daily. The beauty of the Montessori method is that it encourages this communion. As you know, Maria Montessori recognized the inner Teacher, whom we call the Holy Christ Self. By constant daily communion, little children are approaching the day and the hour when their souls will be bonded to the Sacred Heart of their own Holy Christ Self.

     Is it not a beautiful thing to see the intuition of children and their sense of rightness or wrongness in a given situation?

     How sensitive are the sweet souls that you are bringing forth!

     So many souls who have engaged in enormous travail for the cause of Light have lost their lives under the weight of planetary karma. As you know, your beloved El Morya is burdened by the plight of the Tibetans. So many have been slaughtered and abused, and the Tibetan culture of thousands of years is being destroyed before your very eyes.3

     Great devotees of light have had to go through the pain of death only to return again, some because of their karma and some solely because of atrocities committed against them, which aborted their missions. Many of these are ready to be born again, and they yearn to be in a place of protection in the United States, even in this very Community. We pray that many who are part of this Church throughout the world will volunteer to bring forth the great lights of Tibet and those other spiritual elite from around the world who are deserving.

     We look to the future and to generations unborn. We look to you as God-parents who will bring in souls who one day shall champion the cause of the Brotherhood. That day may not be far hence, for the desire of our Father-Mother God is to accelerate the light, to hasten the days and to shorten them for the elect's sake.4

     This is our desire also, beloved. Therefore, give the children ample opportunity for development. For each one is so precious. Each one can become both a follower and a leader on the path of Reality.

     Be certain when your children watch television or a movie or a cartoon that you explain to them what is real and what is not real. Explain that what they see on film is a creation of someone's mind, conceived more often than not with the goal of making money. Let your children learn early to recognize and analyze the commercialism and violence that are paraded before their eyes and the third eye.5

     At a very young age children know the difference between black and white, good and bad. Let their consciences develop. Let their Inner Christ Presence develop. And always help them distinguish between what is ultimately and eternally real and what is not real but ephemeral and only a part of the passing scene. When you train your children to know Reality, they will lean upon that Reality in God long after you have passed beyond the veil and transcended this earth.

     Let your children become citadels for the Rock of Christ. Let them be pillars in the temple, embodying the pure perfection of Jesus. Teach them to be compassionate and caring and loving toward all life. Do not be harsh with them; for if you are, they will be harsh with others. And then harshness begets harshness down the centuries.

     The Aquarian age is the age of a disciplined love and an open door for healing if the people will receive it. But the healing must begin with a prayer to God for forgiveness for the original cause of one's condition.

     Daniel and I desire to give of ourselves to you from now through the end of Summit University this summer. We shall be at your side as role models, and our family with us, so that you might come to know an ideal Ascended Master family. And thereby you may realize that in the gentleness and the love of family members an everlasting bond can be forged unto eternity between souls brought together in this life and past lives to prepare for their ascension.

     I am grateful to be here, talking with you regarding the burdens of the times and the struggles you sometimes have in rearing your children and in dealing with the pulls upon them through peer pressure and the media, which appears determined to destroy them before they blossom.

     Take care. Your most precious possession is your children. Care for them. For they are the wave of the future, and it is to them that you will pass the torch of the golden age.

     Plant your seeds wisely. Bring comfort to life and set an example of sacrifice. If you think your children must have everything and all of your time and attention, then think again because such indulgence does not ready them for the path of victory.

     Children must learn early on what it means to be selfless, to set aside one's own needs to meet the greater needs of another. They must understand what it means to give up something they want because someone else needs it more. They need to be taught that when someone is in a dire situation we sacrifice to help that one or that one's family. For if children are not accustomed to sacrifice, they will not make the necessary sacrifices to pass their soul testings later in life.

     It has been the way in the West for a number of generations for people to want their children to have more and better than they had. As a result, many children have been spoiled. Less is better, for then children tap their own ingenuity and figure out for themselves what they need and how to get it. The simple things in life are what children need - above all, constant affection and support.

     Serving others graciously must also be ingrained, else children will not serve when they are adults, neither in the home or in the neighborhood, nor in the community or even in this organization. Service is a duty of life that all must share in. Giving of oneself begets an increasing fire of love.

     Children need to know how to infuse life with love, love for one another, so that the persecutions on the playground of life cease and the giving of self becomes the order of the day amongst both the little ones and the older ones.

     Civilization has changed. Today there are many hardships that come upon families that tear them apart. Yet the essentials of prayer, communion and oneness with one's family are the bastions that protect children from experiencing the dark despair that they go through when they never see their parents and therefore become hardened against them and against society.

     You have seen this repeated for decades now as mothers have joined the work force when their children were still young. I pray that you will call for the circle and sword of Astrea to cut the children free. Call to the Brotherhood to give them the Divine Love that will bring them surcease from inner sorrow and pain and longing for the love of their parents. Give the children wisdom. Give them the understanding of the challenges of today. And support them all the way to their victory.

     There is no time when you are not a parent to your children, though your children may be raising their own children. One's children are always one's children. I know that you desire to see your children Home victorious in this life. Work at it, beloved. Pray for it every day of your life. Pray for your children and all the children of the world.

     One hundred years hence, this world shall be in the hands of generations not yet born. Lay your foundations for these souls now and give to Saint Germain the very best offering of your hearts: Endow your children with the wisdom, the balance and the profound compassion that they will need for their victory.

     Saint Germain invites one and all attending this conference to come to the Cave of Symbols6 this night. I shall conclude my remarks now and ask you to go quietly to your place of rest and to make the call to be taken by your angels to the Cave of Symbols, there to truly commune with Saint Germain. For he has much to teach you at inner levels, even as he taught us.

     Saint Germain is preparing you for your ascension every day of your life. Trust him, beloved.

     To one and to all I say: Onward, victory!

Vol. 38 No. 20 - I AM the Witness - May 7, 1995

     I AM the Witness

     How Good Can Overcome Evil

     The Story of a Little Boy Who Went to Heaven

     Some years ago I had an experience that emphasized the importance of making the call when you find yourself in a situation you are not sure how to handle. I was traveling on the East Coast for an herbal company and I was in the home city of the company's broker. He had a little boy, about eight years old, who was stricken with leukemia.

     This broker was quite concerned because the doctors had been treating his son with conventional methods to no avail. He asked me to come to dinner at his home and talk to his wife about giving the boy some herbal remedies. I told him I would be happy to come to dinner and that I would pray for the will of God in this matter.

     When I arrived at his home that evening and met his little boy, I felt that I knew him. There seemed to be a soul contact. I sat next to him at dinner and found that he was a very bright little fellow. He asked me what I did. When I told him that I sold herbs, he began asking me questions about the herbs. I told him some of the uses for the herbal remedies.

     He looked up at me and said, "Are there some that will help me?" I said, "Perhaps." Then he looked at his mother and asked, "Can I take them?" She said, "Yes."

     Well, I had prayed about the situation, so I didn't have to say a word to the mother. The little boy took care of it for me.

     After dinner he asked if I would like to see his room. When I walked through the door, I was shocked to see the posters he had on the walls. There were rock stars, heavy metal types, and a Frankenstein monster over his bed. I thought to myself, "He has this disease which is debilitating and these horrible images around him, which must drain his energy even more." His two-year-old sister shared the room with him. I made an intense silent call to Mother Mary and my Mighty I AM Presence to give me the words to say to this little boy that would help him see how harmful the pictures were.

     No sooner had I made the call than I heard myself say, "Do you know that everything is energy?" He said, "No." I said, "Well, it is. You are energy and I am energy. Even your desk is energy. It's made of atoms and molecules. It looks solid but it's really not. Everything is energy and light. And energy can be negative or positive. Even pictures have energy."

     I said, "For instance, that picture above your bed," as I pointed to the Frankenstein monster, "do you think that is negative or positive?" He looked at the picture and I watched his face change. He screwed up his face with a distasteful look and said, "Negative." Then he looked at the next picture and said, "Negative." His eyes went around the walls looking at each picture and saying "negative" each time. He couldn't find one positive picture on the walls.

     At that point he got very excited and rushed to his desk. He picked up a handful of cards and came over and put them in my hand. He said, "What do you think these are - negative or positive?" I tried not to show my distaste as I looked at the cards. I had never seen pictures of the Garbage Pail Kids before and, believe me, they belonged in the garbage! They were gross images of children with all manner of garbage hanging on them. I looked at him and said, "What do you think?" He said quite emphatically, "Negative!" I said, "Yes, they are pretty bad."

     He put them back on his desk and came over to me with some papers. He said, "I've written a story. Would you like to read it?" I said I'd love to read it. The story was about a very evil man who lived in a small village and who made everyone who lived there miserable. He was cruel to the villagers and they didn't know what to do about him. They were all afraid. One day a knight with a flaming sword rode into the village on his white horse (Archangel Michael's boy). The knight rode up to the evil man and touched him with the sword (he didn't say that the knight stabbed him but that he touched him) and, poof, the evil man was gone. The people in the village were so happy to be free of this evil man!

     As I finished reading the story, the little fellow looked at me and said, "What do you think of my story?" I asked him, "What were you trying to say? Were you saying that good can overcome evil?" He said, "Yes!" I smiled and said, "That's what we are here for!"

     At that point his father walked in and said it was time to go. I had some of the small cards of the Chart of the Presence with me and I asked the father if I could give one to his son. He said I could, and the little boy put it over his bed, right under the Frankenstein picture - which helped considerably.

     As I was leaving, the little fellow looked up at me and said, "When will I see you again?" My heart was burdened because I didn't think I would see him again. I kissed him on the forehead and said, "Soon I hope."

     About two weeks later I was back home in my office when I received a call from the father. He asked if I would send his son some pictures. I said, "Sure, but why?" He said he had been away on a business trip and when he returned home his son asked him to come help him with something in his room. When he went to the room, his son asked him to take down all his posters. He asked him why and he said, "I don't like them anymore. I don't want them anymore." So he said to me that his son needed some new pictures.

     I sent him a picture of Sir Galahad standing by his horse holding his sword, which reminded me of the story of the knight. I included in the package a large Chart of the Presence, a picture of Jesus blessing the children and some nature scenes. I also sent him the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I told him he could soar above his illness, just as Jonathan soared above the flock. I told him the pictures were his to use as he pleased and sent him my love.

     His father said he put up all the pictures. He put the knight over his bed and the picture of Jesus over his sister's bed. The little boy passed on about a year later, but I had the comfort of knowing he had seen the Chart of the Presence. The Messenger has said that if a person sees the Chart of the Presence, his soul will always remember it.

     I was amazed at how quickly Mother Mary and my Presence gave me the perfect words for this dear soul. So always remember to make the call, for the call truly does compel the answer.

     In gratitude and love to God,

the Ascended Hosts of Light

and our dear Messenger,


Footnotes:

1 Nada refers here to the Buddhist tale about the three men and the wall. As the story goes, the first man boosts the second one up to see what is going on on the other side of the wall. After surveying the scene, he goes into bliss and climbs over the wall. The third man is then boosted up and he too climbs over. The one remaining says to himself: "Well, I am going to find out what's going on on the other side of that wall!" He then climbs up and sees the souls of beings who are liberated. But instead of joining them, he forgoes his own liberation and climbs back down to tell the world of his discovery. (See also 1991 PoW, pp. 93-94.)
2 Finlandia by Jean Sibelius (opus 26, 1899). Finland was under Russian rule from 1809 to 1917, when Finland formally declared her independence. The music of Finnish composer Sibelius, which captured the spirit of the great Finnish epics and legends, heartened the Finns in their movement toward independence. The chorale from Finlandia became so associated with the independence movement that the Russian czar forbade performances of it during periods of political crisis. Following Finland's declaration of independence in 1917, the new republic defeated leftists' attempts to overthrow the government. The Finnish republic fought again during World War II to maintain independence.

5 Second graders boycott violent children's shows and sponsors. As reported on ABC News, second graders in an elementary school in Oregon were given a homework assignment to watch one-half hour of children's shows and count the incidents of violence, i.e., hitting, kicking and use of weapons. In 12 hours of programming, the children found 649 incidents of violence, or roughly one incident per minute. The results surprised the children and some decided that the violent programs were affecting their behavior. The second graders wrote a Declaration of Independence from Violence, pledging to boycott both the shows and their sponsors. As one little girl said, "I really didn't know there was that much violence on TV. ... I didn't even know what violence was." The teacher, Susan Colonna, said, "My hope is that the children will have the information to make choices, [information] that they wouldn't have had before."
