Immortal Being (5)
April 12, 2010
There’s something wonderful about the promise of youth, with its laughter, joy and innocence. Amazing things happen. You know stuff without being told; you hear the thoughts of others simply because you can; and you do magical stuff because that’s who you are.
Now some might say that the spell of youth diminishes with responsibility or that magical fantasy reality can’t exist in the ‘real’ world. But that’s only their story. In this vastly creative and imaginative world, the spell of youth beckons: kids are encouraged to discover and exercise their potential; there are many outlets for their adventurous spirit; and they are more likely to be living their true worth than past generations.
Yet in older generations, the spell of youth is resurfacing in those who had put aside their birthright – for the gift of eternal beingness will no longer be shut away.
I look at my own life and notice what dampened the force within me for a while. I can see -
- when my authority was questioned
- when I took actions that compromised my integrity
- when my thoughts created a life that I felt I had to follow
- when I couldn’t relate magical wonder with lived reality
It didn’t stop me from pursuing an adventurous lifestyle but for many years, from my teens until late thirties, there was always something missing, until the day I signed up for a Shiatsu course and began to discover natural skills and abilities way beyond my lived experience.
I found there was power in my voice: I had energy and vitality when I spoke what really mattered. I discovered a world of energy through my fingers. And I laid the foundations for my own body of work, from my willingness to question all that I believed to be true. The simplicity and magical serenity that I enjoyed as a young child was restored completely, for again I danced with everything – but this time I had the authority to shape my life and create the reality in which I walk.
I write this because, as I said earlier, there’s something wonderful about the promise of youth, for it is the doorway to amazing possibilities. I know that every child born now can live their potential and maintain their energetic integrity, simply by living the fullness of themselves and unfolding their own vision of life.
Babies have consciousness before coming into physical form - tap in to their eternal nature and enquire about what is really there – get the potential of what you are connecting with rather than use an outdated assumption that they have no consciousness.
Children are born with a natural rhythm. By helping them to live that rhythm, we can all delight in the beauty of what is eternal, forever changing. For what maintains the integrity of all of us is our willingness to change it all and be whoever we choose to be. [continuation]
