feel it has a place in this society, a place apart from family
membership, a place that it feels a sense of individuality. As
adults we might not understand this person as we still see
them as a mere child, with years of education ahead of them.
Adults seldom give teenagers credence. The new teenager will
seek to assert themselves, that is if they still have that capacity
and it hasn't been driven into the unconscious by the
subjugation of the educational system, aided and abetted by
their adults. Thankfully many teenagers still have the
confidence to permit their unconscious to surface, thus
causing some consternation among their educators, both
school and parental. This is the beginning of the "troublesome
teens". Of course to the teenager these are adventurous years,
years where personal identity is formed and hopefully
secured. Personal identity is inclusive of the body, the mind,
and the Spirit. From what we have already written the
scenario might only include the body and the mind for this
emerging teenager. We have said how the spiritual welfare of
the child is entrusted to it's God parents, in the situation where
the child only expresses a body and mind awareness, an ego
awareness, it shows how the God parents have been negligent.
Again may I remind you that this is still within the remit of
choices that the Spirit of the child has made in preparation for
it's human life's tasks, so no blame must be attached to this
observation. At any time in anybody's lifetime every event is
part of their plan. When others are incorporated into the plan
it is only because it is also part of their plan. Everybody
involved in our life can be considered a kindred Spirit, and
part of the overall plan, God's plan. The control lies in the
Law of Cause and Effect, the motivator of continued spiritual
growth.
