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 need nothing outside of them to be happy—no person, no place, or thing—and that true happiness is found within them. Let them know that they are enough for themselves. Teach your children that failure is a fiction, that every attempt is a success, and that every effort is what leads to victory – failure is no 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 “goes anyway” a gigantic failure looms.
The advice in the quote is exactly the luciferous 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, nor do they notice that… something’s 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… something you have to do, you need something and the road has to be taken and to go through it you need to know how… and that’s really your mission, your difficulty or your realization 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 really needs nothing but to be rendered to himself, reminding him who He really is.
Teach them these things and you will have taught them something great.
Teach them 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 them 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).
Leo Radutz
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.
