appear  to  offer  Divinely  inspired  solutions  but  instead  only
               offers materialistic based solutions. In these applications there
               is  no  justice  nor  understanding.  The  reasoning  suits  the
               society not the Spirit. So too with our seven year old child,
               they  too  will  be  impressed  by  the  wisdom  of  Soloman  but
               only because their  ego is impressed. They  will not question
               the illustration any further unless they bring in their Spiritual
               nature to the situation and consider the situation on a broader
               basis. Too often the spiritually balanced seven year old will be
               ridiculed for their questioning outside the social boundaries.
               They  will  experience  derision  and  be  labelled  by  the  those
               they challenge by their questions. The challenged will be the
               majority  of  the  population  they  encounter  and  as  a
               consequence the child will often feel a social outcast, When
               society  challenges  this  child  they  will  too  often  be
               unsupported in their views and for survival acquiesce to the
               opinions of the spiritually underdeveloped. This  will further
               suppress  their  nature  and  they  can  become  socially
               dysfunctional.  As  adults,  if  we  are  to  consider  ourselves  in
               any way spiritually aware then, this point we are making here
               needs  to  be  addressed,  especially  when  we  encounter
               situations  where  this  difficulty  is  apparent.  If  we  are  to  be
               spiritually  sensitive  we  will  need  to  make  our  awareness
               obvious and in turn  challenge the  spiritual ignorance that is
               perpetrating this “crime” against our children. This challenge
               we present will not be popular to the ignorant and therefore
               will attract an ignorant response. Should we balk at the fear of
               this response then it shows we are not as spiritually aware as
               we thought and that our opinions are challengable and lack the
               strength  of our  own  truth,  our  own  spiritual  awareness,  and
               indeed our own trust in God. To be spiritual is to be fearless.
