Archangel Metatron: Remember your childhood for positive learning lessons for your children

Archangel Metatron: Greetings daughter of light. We’re pleased you have once again resumed our communication. Your commitment to channelling is admirable. For we often channel information to other mediums; only to have our guidance fall eventually on deaf ears, as the physical side of life takes over and the spiritual side is left out in the cold, to be forgotten over time.

The wheels of your life are once again beginning to turn faster, as you now approach conclusion to that which you have longed for. It has been a long road you have travelled, but through this, you have achieved so much. To have had the opportunity of moving on quickly would have meant no spiritual pathway would have been opened to Glenn, and your new methodology of teaching spiritual practices would not have come to pass either.

It is time to bring to others the importance of children on this planet. Many humans view their offspring as beings that do not really know anything of value; and yet they know the most important life lesson from birth; that of love.

Remember your childhood. Yours and all other children only require love, sustenance and affection. When a child comes to you, how many times a day do you tell them not now, or be quiet, or just to go away because you’re busy?

Now; remember your own childhood and how you experienced the same. When you watch your television programmes and say “Shhh”, you’re telling your child the television is more important than them. When they come to you upset because of a sibling or friend, they are saying I need reassurance and love. Over time, the child learns to not bother, because you won’t listen anyway.

Remembering your own childhood helps you to change the experiences you had, into positive learning lessons for your own children. So many children are unheard, feel unloved and feel insecure, yet, if time was taken with children you would see a different human evolve. A human that was compassionate, caring and had time for others too.

As your families grow more insular, so too does the learning circle for your children. Instead of speaking to each other, you now abstain and utilise machines to speak for you. You have as a species created many wonderful things, but you have also created much that does much harm. When you speak with others, you generate energy. The person you’re talking to can hear the warmth in your voice, and as well as hearing your words, they can feel the energy of those words. Looking at your world now, with your computers and text phones, you are losing the ability to connect with one another on a spiritual level.

Jill: Computers and mobile phones do have their uses. They have given us the ability to communicate around the world, so I can’t see the human race being inclined to rid themselves of these.

Archangel Metatron: We are not suggesting that you do rid yourselves of them. Yes they do have the uses and as you say, it has brought your world closer together; but it shouldn’t replace your first line of communication:- speech. You have internet phones which allow you to talk with one another. Instead of typing in your messages, wouldn’t it be lovely to hear a friendly voice?

Take a long hard look at your world. Look at how you (not you personally, but you collectively) are programming your children to be insular. Computer games instead of playing and sharing imaginative games outside with others. Television programmes which don’t require any interaction.

If a child needs something to do, very few adults these days play with their child. Instead they will tell a child to go and watch TV or play with their computers.

Look to your past. A past where families gathered together. Thoughts and feelings were shared. Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles were a big part of a family's life. Everyone supported each other and when times were hard, they would all chip in. Where is your support today? Very few families have support, particularly single parents and yet it needn’t be this way. Perhaps it’s time to ask yourself, when was the last time you spoke with your neighbour? When was the last time, you invited them to share a cup of tea or coffee, so you could get to know one another better?

Jill: I can see what you’re saying but how would you change this, surely it’s an impossible task.

Archangel Metatron: Remember, your thoughts create your reality. It begins with the children. Remember your childhood, your need to be heard, someone’s knee to sit on, a reassuring hug? Listen to your children. What you dismiss as not being important and perhaps their inane babbling, may not mean anything to you, but to your child it means everything.

Make your children feel heard. Let them feel they can talk to you anytime and you will listen to what they’re trying to tell you. Ask yourself, is ten minutes of playtime with your child more important than some task which can be done another day?

By listening and being with your children, you teach them life skills that will enable them to be a caring, sharing person who listens to others. They will have confidence, feel good about themselves and most importantly feel loved. Is them having these life skills important enough?

As you have seen so many times, as we too have see in their billions, people without direction, people without hope. When will some of you begin to see the light of day and feel that you want to make a difference to at least one person in this world which is your home.

It is no good teaching children advanced theoretical things when they lack the emotional grounding to enable them to fully utilise that which you teach. Yes it is important they learn to read, write and calculate. Yes they also need an understanding of their world. But where is the behavioural and communication learning, showing children how to communicate effectively and master their own emotions.

Jill: I think most teachers would say they learn this through interacting with their peers, so to them perhaps it’s enough. Perhaps some people would also say that children are too young to understand emotional intelligence.

Archangel Metatron: Remember, your thoughts create your reality. If you feel or think the children won’t understand emotional intelligence they won’t. Remember your childhood. Children have the ability to voice their feelings very well. They have more of an ability to grasp knowledge than an elder does. A child is like a vacuum, full of possibilities. Children are open. They are non-judgemental. They have the ability to see answers that go beyond logic. So why do you feel they would not enjoy learning communication skills and lessons that would help them be the best they could be? Just expecting a child to pick up social skills isn’t enough.

It is time for you all to begin being accountable for your children. The impact your actions have on future generations and how who and what you are, moulds your children into the adults they become. Again, remember your childhood. Who have you become like? Who’s mannerisms, ways of thinking and acting have you absorbed? Your mother or father? Some of you may say neither. But deep down in your sub-conscious mind, you will, if you search, see the similarities of the stronger parent within yourself.

It is no good to fill a child’s need with just material things. The end result is, they will grow into adults who are always trying to find fulfilment; and sadly, they will never find it.

New schools have to be formed. Ones that teach children to feel good about who they are, and how their actions bring about their reality. Once a child knows who they are, then, and only then, can they fulfil their true potential. Allow children to be creative. Teach them to use their imagination. For within their imagination you will find a treasure trove of invaluable inventions, and ways of working that would revolutionise mankind’s destiny. Through expression comes understanding. Look around you now. Does your computerised technology teach children to integrate or separate?

What future would you like for your children? One where they learn to come together and share life on a common mutual understanding; or a cold world where personal interrelating communication becomes a thing of the past.

You don’t have to think up wonderful exciting things to do with your children. Reading them a story and them asking them what they liked about the story is sometimes all you need to do, to begin to see and understand the wonderful child you have given birth to. Perhaps it is time to ask yourself, how much do you really know about your child? Do you know who their best friends are? Do you know how they think? Do you know their likes and dislikes?

Perhaps it’s time to remember your own childhood. Whether or not it was good or bad isn’t really relevant. What is relevant is that you can ease your own child’s pain of growing up by being like the child within. Express your feelings and share your experience with your children. The most precious time you can have is helping your children in feeling loved, understood and secure. When you invest time in your child, you’re also investing time in the future of your planet and mankind. Parenting is the most responsible and important task you have. Perhaps it’s time to get your priorities into the correct order.

Working 24/7 to have all the material trappings won’t bring a better world or a happier future. Finding simple abundance and taking time to experience life with your children, may be the jigsaw piece that fill’s the empty space deep inside of you, that keeps resurfacing to remind you of the dissatisfaction in your life. It’s not that you don’t have enough money. It’s not that you need another holiday. It’s not that you need a new car or TV. You need to learn, you need each other. Isn’t it about time you sat and thought about your life and felt you need a change?

Blessed be.

Metatron
