The children of the 21st Century are amazing beings. So many, though, really are super-sensitive. I watch our grandchildren struggle with their sensitivities and yet they are truly radiant beings of Light. I’m sure your children and grandchildren are as well.
What is it that they are here to teach us? I think the most important thing we can learn from them is an openness, a big heart, an acceptance of themselves and others as they are. I once heard my granddaughter say that she had been criticized for saying that she sees the fairies. [She does.] Her answer was that everyone is special in their own way. She has a cousin who can talk with wild animals and they are not afraid of her. That was Makayla’s answer to being criticized. It represents an understanding that, ‘Just because I am different from you or your understanding of the world does not mean that there is anything wrong with me.’
Of course, she is also a regular kind of tweener, 12 going on 21. These sensitive kids need our help in making sense of their surroundings. They arrive on Planet Earth knowing that there are many levels to consciousness and they are not afraid to share what their experiences are. We, in turn, try to teach them to follow the rules as we understand them. Could the lesson for us be to re-examine what we thought were the rules? Bill Maher, in his TV show, “Real Time with Bill Maher”, offers ‘New Rules’ every Friday night. His are often funny and tongue in cheek, but he always has a reason behind his offerings. Maybe it is time for us to examine all those things we thought were ‘rules’ and decide anew whether or not they fit the times.
In politics there seem to be two camps of people – those who wish to advance their society with new thought and those who wish to hold onto the old traditions and to fight change. Oftentimes we seem to get more wrapped up in the arguments than the issues would warrant and we forget to step up above the disagreement to look for long-reaching effects and to use expanded consciousness in our search for solutions.
In every area of 21st Century life there is an opportunity to expand consciousness and step all of humanity up to the next level. We must learn from the children to be cosmic beings, not citizens of one country or members of a political party, a particular ethnic group, a religious group. We must step up and look at situations from that cosmic perspective, asking for long-term information about decisions we are considering. With the energetic changes that are coming, we must fight the tendency to be narrow in our thinking, for we will miss the great things that are approaching if we live within tunnel vision.
Expand your views. Open your horizons. Listen to the children.

MUSE-INGS: “Let’s Avoid Another Dark Age” by Rosemary Bredeson
October 19, 2010 — RosemaryA Dark Age? That’s an interesting thought. And apathy would be the cause?
‘Hatred’ seems like such a strong word but it does seem as though a lot of people are busy hating other people. Did you know that using the word ‘hate’ affects your liver? Imagine how your liver would feel if you went around focusing your attention on hating others. Not good.
So how do we make sure we are focused on the energy of the Light, on Love? Do we have to go back to the days of flowers in our hair and bring back the flower children of the 60s? OK, so some of us wouldn’t have to dip back too far in our own lives to find those children of the 60s, but is that what we’re being called to do?
I don’t think so. I believe that within each of us there is Light. Each heart wants to Love. Each mind wants to explore, to delve into ideas, to be creative. Each spirit wants to grow. So if that is what is inside every human being, how do we get distracted? By that something that is just beyond our reach, the next thing that we can reach for. For some, it’s something tangible. For others, it’s more ephemeral, but there’s something outside our reach that is drawing us even if we’re not sure what ‘it’ is.
And so we become focused on acquiring and forget to be present in the current moment. We forget that human beings are connected to each other just by sharing the same air on the same planet at the same moment in history. We forget that the energy of Love allows us to solve problems from a place where all possibilities exist, a place of expansion. Have you experienced those moments of connection, of expansion, when you listen to a news story? For example, some miners were trapped in a Chilean mine for 2 months and the whole world focused attention on their safety, on the families that stood waiting for them to be rescued. People didn’t think about differences but about how they would feel if it were their loved one trapped in that mine. The rescue was watched by millions around the world and cheered by all. What an amazing thing that the whole world can look at that situation and bring people to a sense of connectedness with people who are different but who are just people, just like people everywhere. THIS is what the power of the Light can manifest. This is the power of Universal Love.
Do you ever find yourself saying, “I hate [whatever, whoever]?” Do you think you can become conscious of your use of the word ‘hate’ and change it? Instead of “I hate mushrooms” maybe you could say, “I prefer not to eat mushrooms.” After all, what did a mushroom ever do to you? Or, “I hate it when people are late for appointments” could become “I wish people were on time but, if they’re late, I always carry something to do, like make notes or read a book.”
Catch yourself energizing hatred in the world. Are there groups of people that you don’t Love? Do you really need to ‘hate’ them? Are there folks that you disagree with? Do you really need to ‘hate’ them? As a society, we used to be able to ‘agree to disagree.’ Let’s return to that energy and allow others to believe differently without invoking the energy of ‘hate’ around the situation. We don’t have to love what someone is saying but we can love that spark of Light that we know is inside them.
If we keep our thoughts and energy focused on Light, there won’t have to be another Dark Age!
