On Children

Many of you have heard the words of the prophet Kahlil Gibran and we would like you to take those words into your heart and mind, as the matrix of the human reality might divert you from treating children in the way they deserve to be treated.


We see how many of you are worried about them, think they are influenced the same way you are being influenced in experiencing the human reality matrix.


Many of them are more capable of ever dealing with the human reality matrix than many of you will ever be, no matter how long you study, no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you think you can change the human reality.


These children do not need to be influenced by your thoughts, your ideas of reality, your ideas of making this reality into a heaven on earth.


Many of them will know more than you will ever know about creating a change within the human reality.


They know without knowing.


They are ahead of all that many of you can teach them.


You can protect them by giving them the freedom to be their own, to find their own, to become their own being, as their own being is closer than many of you realize and more closer than any of your being will ever be in this lifetime.


It is human nature sometimes to protect, but sometimes the protection is worse than giving them the freedom to find their own way of protecting themselves.


They need to learn in different ways, and will learn in different ways, as their minds already work in a different way.


They experience life in a different way and their direction of creating will be different than what you can even conceive to be at this moment.


So we ask you once more to take this to heart.


Your children are not your children.


 You may give them your love but not your thoughts.


Kahlil Gibran and the Ascended Masters

Through Petra Margolis



On Children

By Kahlil Gibran

 

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

 

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

 

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,

so He loves also the bow that is stable.
