Page 109 - Spirit - A Journey Through Embodiment

spiritual knowledge gained from all it's previous existences,
where ever and how ever they may have been. This incarnated
Spirit has so much that is can share with us, if only we can
allow it. Because of the apparent innocence of the newborn
we underestimate it's abilities. We underestimate the
cleverness it possessed to choose this life and us as it's parents
and our physical creation of the exact body and mind that
would be the perfect vehicle for it's journey through this
lifetime, and that would help it navigate the turbulent seas of
life that are the potential for this segment of the eternal
journey of the Spirit.

So let us once again look at the life of the seven year old, a
child that has attained the age of reason. We have said that
this stage of its lifetime will take another thirty years before it
reaches this particular configuration of energies that can be so
life changing. This is the first major milestone in any child's
life. It is the point where it experiences a taste of it's natural
power, a combination of both physical, mental and most
importantly spiritual power. Many children that are exposed
to religion in some way will, even for a brief moment,
consider a religious life. This notion if shared with it's adults
will be either dismissed or acknowledged. These days
unfortunately it is often ignored, and yet it is a clear sign that
the child has needs that are seeking expression. That it should
choose a religious life shows that it is seeking spiritual
expression but society has only religion to offer to it. If we
were to address the child's needs in an unbiased and spiritual
way we would be acknowledging that which the child has
been educated not to see and allow it, even at this late stage in
its new life, to rediscover it's Spirit.
