How is truth and integrity modeled for kids today? What burdens do the parents impose on kids by teaching the techniques of telling a “white lie” Simply passing on what was modeled for them? So when the children become teens and begin lying back to the parents, teachers, friends etc – they are punished.
The d istortion of the truth and consequences culturally sets up for confusion and a host of other issues in kids. Kids are given the message “it is just the way of the world.” We wonder what happens to them. Each of those lessons, chip away at the spiritual foundation of all involved and drive a disassociation from the “authentic self”
Look at our country right now we are in a war based upon lies. Corruption in business and deceit is rewarded by millions of dollars. Most people are in such an apathetic place and don’t know how to unravel it. So our depression is at an epidemic state, just look around and see how many men, women and children are on anti-depressants?
What is it about the Unbridled Truth from the mouths of babes, which creates a discomfort or lack of tolerance amongst people and a sort of impulse to diminish it? What does unbridled enthusiasm and creativity stir up inside of adults? Perhaps a reflection of how far they are from their own “wonder child?” Where is the “magic and awe” in adulthood? Our kids are showing it to us from a very early age….and yet; we seemingly teach them how to detach from it.
We need new a new model for truth and integrity. How can a parent model that, when in fact, they may be so detached from their own authenticity? So the adults, teachers and community leaders need to do self-examination with respect to honesty and integrity and how they demonstrate that at home and in the community. Imagine a program that empowers parents and children to live in truth and integrity?
Then they can begin teaching kids to honor what they know is truth in awareness and from their spirit. We could begin by celebrating them in truth and not to compromise themselves. .
Imagine a program where children are taught that their feelings, hopes and dreams are valid. That being loving, rather than, judgmental is wonderful. Empowering kids to and trust their “intuition” and “inner voice” That it is OK to live from that Spirit guided place within and they are empowered knowing that and trust it and have confidence. There are millions of people are seeking for that “connection” and to return to their higher authentic self. There is a deep yearning today to learn how to incorporate living from “authentic self and in a place of peace and well-being”.
As we find that space again as Adults, we are finding that peaceful center. We are in back in alignment with Source and our authentic self. As it is in childhood, we recognize that we are part of something magnificent and are capable of making a contribution by how we show up in our daily lives.
As Dr. Demartini says something to the effect of “When our inner knowing becomes so strong that all the outside voices and influences can not penetrate it, then you have mastered your
