Loved the article. I believe the parenting of children like you is the key to the future of our species. I have thought for some time that any society of the future needs to be based on raising children and creating an environment that meets all the requirements for a child to grow into a truly vulnerable and fully conscious human being. Only when our physical intelligence is fully turned on and our resistance to letting energy flow relaxed will the true potential of who we have come to be be actualised.
I have come to terms with my failures as a father to protect my children in all sorts of situations. My anger has been damaging. I only now know how and why. Healing ourselves as parents is essential to unburdening our children with our unfelt trauma and unconscious controlling behaviour.
We need to accept the reality of what children essential needs are to be themselves and go from there.
Sending you my gratitude for putting it out there. Take care. X
Thank you for this. I wish I had been able to persuade my university-going kids. I begged and pleaded and cried and showed papers and articles and tried all I could, despite the most awful treatment from my husband, who bought it hook, line and sinker. I then had the juggernaut turn on me, too, with the job mandates. I was threatened with divorce, job-loss, and called every name under the sun. Conspiracy theorist, right-winger, Trump-lover, Putin-apologist, supremacist. Me, the most liberal-minded person in my family. We don't even live in America! I was scared and alone and lost hope. I felt my family was doomed anyway and took one infernal jab - more as an act of self-harm and penance and despair. By then, I knew this was not a panacea. I had read enough. It was a dangerous product of unregulated greed. I didn't care. It was one of the most awful days of my life. A day after a terrible fight and when I thought my marriage was over and I was going to lose everything. I had been unable to stop my family, so I just wanted to go down with them.
I failed as a mother and I feel bereft. I don't know how this will affect my kids further down the line. I don't know if they'll simply continue to do what they're told when more edicts come down the pipeline. I failed, on the most fundamental level, to protect my family. If my kids had been younger, I would have bundled them in the car and left home, and never come back. I will never forgive. My hatred for these people is absolute. They knew. They persisted. They must burn in hell.
Very beautiful. I think there are many, many interventions, as you say, that can change the paths of these children's lives, some very simple. Change the initial conditions, or the secondary conditions, on which there is sensitive dependence. We make linear predictions with our left hemispheres, but our deep knowledge, and gestalt, and intution are in our right cerebral hemispheres. Online we are in the left.
I've thought we should make a huge website that everyone could contribute a picture to, of a child who will be alive in 50 or 60 or 70 years, whom we stay in this "spiritual marathon" (Tess Lawrie) for.
OK no one but the extreme elderly and/or compromised died- and that would be a low-ball estimate of 17 million in the world and 1.3 million in the US. And I understand that during WWII, blackouts and all, war, and talk of war, well, all the kids went nuts, and it was almost a generation of totally unschooled that affected the work force and professions to the point they never recovered. What did they expect? And now - Masks!!! Face coverings and distancing!!!
Endless jabs are so much more reliable and hazard-free!
Everywhere around us, growing up, have been badly damaged children. Many have been able to overcome the effects of their harm, sufficiently to function adequately as adults.
Others were not so fortunate or resilient, and I have witnessed much of their lifelong suffering and often early demise.
It's one thing to intersperse terribly damaged children among peers who contribute to the viability of social networks that assist in their healing, and quite another to create an equitable "solution" by ensuring that there are no undamaged children.
An entire generation of children is now damaged. The consequences are dire.
very thorough and well written; your willingness to think deeply and face the rising bubbles of our discontent is a balm to my heart

Very well done. I think you've captured the gruesome nuances very well. Beautiful piece that should be shared widely.
