conflict  of  ego  versus  spirituality.  There  is  such  a  thing  as
               false  ego  where  one  proclaims  their  humility.  This  is  also
               found in spirituality, false spirituality, where one claims they
               are spiritual. In both these situations, humility and spirituality,
               where one seeks to practice spirituality and/or humility, they
               are  often  doing  it  for  unconscious  ego  reasons  and  because
               they are not getting recognition for it they have to proclaim
               they  are  humble  and  spiritual.  Those  who  truly  are  humble
               and/or  spiritual  never  need  to  claim  they  are  since  both
               humility  and  spirituality  are  natural  states,  whereas  ego  is
               contrived.



               All these factors are part of the story of spiritual evolvement
               on this earth plane.  It is reported that the one referred to as
               Jesus said, “In my fathers house there are  many mansions”.
               This could be a reference to the world of Spirit and the many
               levels of consciousness that exist within it, and includes Earth
               consciousness.  We  need  to  remember  that  the  developing
               child  has  an  awareness  of  all  of  this  but  cannot  express  it
               through the restrictiveness of the limitations of language and
               culture. The child can however relate to this knowing through
               its  environment,  should  that  environment  be  spiritually
               healthy.  For  the  nine  year  old  this  ability  still  exists  as  this
               child has not yet been fully initiated into the ignorant world of
               humankind. That initiation will not take place until some time
               later. It is important to realise that though the child is still in
               possession  of  spiritual  awareness,  though  only  to  a  small
               degree, it is still being groomed for the life society seeks it to
               have  in  order  to  be  a  complying  citizen.  This  aspect  is  not
