===Quote===
“Give every developing [[child]] a [[chance]] to [[grow]] his own religious [[experience]]; do not [[force]] a ready-made adult experience upon him.” ([[100:1|100:1.3]]).
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “It is said that the [[mind]] of a young child is like a sponge, eagerly [[absorbing]] whatever it is exposed to. Indeed, such a virgin mind has an [[infinite]] capacity for [[receptivity]]. One is born [[open-mind]]ed and [[open-heart]]ed, devoid of any of the cultural [[filters]] that are then put in place through various levels of programming. Sadly, many of them are set limiting [[parameters]] around this bright mind that adversely affect its receptivity, inducing as well a [[gradual]] shut-down of the [[heart]]’s receptivity.
“This does not in any way reflect the educational [[concept]] that [[the Father]] has for His children of [[time and space]]. He [[gifted]] each and every one of you with a vivid [[imagination]] — one of your most powerful [[godlike]] attributes. Indeed, what can be ‘conceived’ in [[thoughts]], can be energetically [[manifested]] through actions.
“Since each [[personality]] is unique and has its own life’s assignment, don’t you think it would be by far preferable to cater to its unique [[expression]], rather than to squeeze it into a generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ [[uniform]] by brain- and heart-washing your children to [[embrace]] your personal [[belief]]-systems and life’s outlooks?
“As you well know through [[individual]] experience, this does not work and is met with inner [[resistance]]. Good [[parenting]] allows for the child to come in [[touch]] with his own spiritual wings, so to speak. It teaches him to [[fly]], but does not arbitrarily [[dictate]] his flight plan. Just as [[migrating]] birds are equipped with inbuilt [[compasses]] that always point them in the right direction, each one of you has also been [[blessed]] with an Inner Compass — your [[Ta|Indwelling Divine Fragment]].
===Closing===
“Who else would be better qualified to set the [[course]]? As [[parents]], ask to be guided in such a way that you can help raise vibrant free-[[spirits]], rather than molding them to your passing whims, as you are not in any position to claim that you are the trustees of all [[Truth]] — far from it.”
