Hello world. The following was written 1/5/2019.
I shared an article I wrote from 2016 called, “Come One, Come All, it is time to play a game called Connect the Dots.”, yesterday on multiple social media platforms. A brother responded to my article last night or this morning on Onstellar asking some questions. The following is the dialogue that transpired.
A brother asks, “Greetings Sabrina I trust you are well.
Please indulge me as I have wanted to ask someone that walks ACIM. What about children? Are we not responsible for them? I really want to know and at the same have been terrified to ask anyone that does this. I am being completely honest and mean no disrespect. I too know the Holy Spirit and when I listen to your words in my mind I see myself at times (often times). So I have drummed up the courage to ask. PM if best. You certainly don’t have to respond. I will not be slighted in any way.
I am glad you are here. Truly”
My response, “Hello brother. I keep all dialogues out in the open for all to witness. What is helpful for one may be helpful for another. Children are capable of conscious choices, decisions and understanding on multiple levels of their Being. Children have Free Will just as adults do. That does not mean one may use, abuse nor manipulate a child in ANY way without some form of consequence for doing so. That is what karma is there for. It balances the playing field with the lessons we are here to learn. Children are to be loved UNCONDITIONALLY. They are to be allowed to explore their world, environment and reality up to a point without hindrance. It is when they risk harm to themselves or another that intervention may be made. Just as you need to learn that fire burns, so too does the child. Being told something is hot is not the same as the experience of it. Do you understand what is being shared here about consciousness and Free Will?”
My brother responds, “So we are responsible for our children and their safety? Sabrina Reyenga”
My response, “Up to a point we are responsible for their safety. Safety being physical harm unto death, To a Point. Understand that each Being that chooses to manifest within this reality of creation comes in under a set of guidelines or a “Contract” that they have created. Sometimes that “Contract” is created with you prior to your incarnation into this reality. These “Contracts” can and may be altered up to a point while we are on our journeys. Because of our Free Will to choose what resonates for us, we are able to change our minds and choose something else instead. Nothing is set in stone here and nothing is as it may seem. All we have been taught to perceive are egoistic fear filled judgmental perceptions of what everything is and is supposed to be, including ourselves.
Children begin making obvious choices that are discernable around age 3. They begin making their choices now verbally around 4 or 5. It is between the ages of 6 and 10 that children start making their own decisions and recognizing what resonates within them fully as “good” or “bad” in a manner of speaking. All the child learns comes from the adults around them. What the adults teach they teach consciously and UNCONSCIOUSLY. Everything you are and have been trained to think, judge and so perceive unconsciously you teach to the child. What you teach them to do is judge and to fear being judged. You do this unconsciously, and unknowingly you are manipulating that child to conform to what it is you have chosen to believe is True in those moments that you do so.
It is the subconscious mind that is actually in the driver’s seat as your Ego brother. When you recognize this you are able to take your power back by taking control and getting back into that driver’s seat of deciding what resonates or not for you. Understand that EVERY Experience is for our benefit and through us all of Humanity. Each experience has lessons within it we are to learn of ourselves. If it is not something we are to experience we do not go through it.
Consider the Beings around you and all they seem to experience and go through. All of you are experiencing the exact same things to different degrees or levels. Each of you are perceiving your experiences in different ways and from different points of view. Yet they are all similar with similar lessons to be learned from them.
An example of this would be my Husband Alex and myself. Our experiences growing up were very similar yet very different. His family was mentally, emotionally and physically abusive as was mine. He experienced beatings, bullying and the same conditional love I had experienced. Yet his perspective and how he views himself and others is very different from how I view things. He is able to perceive the external connections or the catalysts that cause the triggers. I am able to perceive the internal seeds that have caused those triggers to that catalyst. He sees without and I see within. We perceive from opposite sides of the spectrum, yet are able to connect, comprehend and perceive what each other is experiencing and coming from on our own perspective journeys.
Both of us had to learn to accept and allow that how we experience and perceive is similar yet not the same. In raising our son we have had to do the same with him. We have had to learn to accept and allow that he is his own Individual Being and will make choices for himself. We DO NOT get a say in these choice he is making. He understands he is responsible for himself and whatever it is he is going through he is the one making the choices to believe so perceive as he is. We taught our son to question everything, including us. We taught him to think for himself and to not blindly follow and believe. He just finished 8 years in the military. He came to recognize they do not want Free Thinkers but sheep to do their bidding unquestioningly so he got out. In all things we accepted and allowed him to decide for himself what it was HE wanted to do.
It is this same perspective one is asked to teach their children. That in all things they are the one in the driver’s seat making the choices and decisions to do what they do, think what they think and believe what they are choosing to believe in. What they experience here is entirely up to them and what they choose. In the beginning we are no more than a caregiver. We feed, house, clothe and care for them until they are able to do so for themselves. Meaning feed, clothe and do every day items for and by themselves such as going to a store and buying food.
Something else to consider here is that whatever is being experienced has a purpose and reason behind it beyond what we my understand or comprehend in those moments. How we the caregiver are choosing to perceive it or judge it as being will be what we teach that child of it. It is that JUDGMENTAL PERSPECTIVE that is being TAUGHT to the child which will dictate the lessons they are to learn if they choose to accept what is being handed to them as being True in those moments.
Do you see how each experience is connected to a lesson of learning what it is we choose to believe so experience and perceive our reality as being? How each experience is connected to what we are judging it to be based on how we have been trained to believe? This is the point that is in need of understanding here. You only get to choose for you. When it comes to the child, you ARE the example from which they learn.”
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
