Do we need something from outside of us or is it good to teach our children that we are complete anyway?

A tip circulating on the internet and belonging to a known author, taken out of context and share-looked intensely on the internet:

“Teach your children that they don’t need anything outside of themselves to be happy – no person, no place or thing – and that true happiness is found within them. Teach them that they are enough themselves. Teach your children that failure is fiction, that every attempt is a success, and that every effort is what leads to victory – failure being nothing less honorable than success….”

Neale Donald Walsch

Comment Abheda Yoga:

It’s interesting, but dangerously fake… because, in fact, children have an enormous need for something outside of themselves: Knowledge.

That’s what kids should be taught… or anyone.
Well, first of all.

Because teaching them that everything comes from within is one thing and it’s another to manage to feel that…. And that’s Knowledge. And the path of achievement can only be taken by being aware that you have to go and where to go and that you can only do that by understanding that without that you are… and that you need humility, respect and appreciation for the importance of teaching.

Who tells you you have the right direction to go besides your parents? If they tell you that “it works anyway”, a gigantic failure is looming.

The advice in the quote is exactly the Luciferic advice of the modern age when, in fact, the situation is quite different

Luciferianism, in its refined aspects, is attractive in that it hides certain things of major importance, saying that it is not essential, aumuting the teaching to mislead. People easily accept the “you have nothing to do” option and do not even notice that… something is missing.

The problem is that knowing that you have no Knowledge, you can’t really want something that you don’t know exists, stupidity doesn’t hurt and the gigantic costs of ignorance are considered “normal”… because you’re not alone. Ignorance is popular.

Basically, the quote shows the direction but it doesn’t show that it’s necessary to know how and walk the road.

Here, however, is what Neale says

very nice and well-intentioned I think, but without insisting on the fact that… you have to do something, you need something and the road has to be traveled and to travel it you have to know how… And this is your mission, your difficulty or your achievement or your failure.

I post here and some of the rest of the quote, which is of wonderful beauty, but nevertheless propagates – “education without NO”. Respect and humility towards the Path and knowledge is a fundamental component of teaching.

“Teach your children that there is nothing they cannot do, that the illusion of Ignorance can be eradicated from Earth and that everyone in reality needs nothing more than to be given back to himself, reminded of Who He Really Is.
Teach him these things, and you will have taught him something great.
Teach him these things—not with words, but with deeds. Not with discussions – but with demonstrations. What you do to your children will emulate them, and they will become as you are.
And go now and teach these things, not only your children, but all people and all nations. That’s because all people are your children and all nations are your home.
It is time to share this glorious vision with the world. It is the vision of all the minds that have ever truly researched, of all the hearts that have ever truly loved, of the souls that have ever truly felt the Oneness in life.”

Our essence is perfect and complete, but the road to It is our success or failure (for now).

P.S. Knowledge (in our opinion) means, on a universal level, how to walk the Road, including its direction and, ultimately, even the Final Achievement.
