ELDER SPEAKS of many

Grandfather teaching: 

child development 

"Great truth that transcends Nature does not pass from one being to another by way of human speech. Truth chooses Silence to convey her meaning to loving souls." On another point in the spiritual science of introspection and observation and merging with the great mysteries of Life, the poet and mystic, Kahlil Gibran also noted, "There is something greater and purer than what the mouth utters. Silence illuminates our souls, whispers to our heart, and brings them together. Silence separates us from ourselves, makes us sail the firmament of spirit, and brings us closer to Heaven; it makes us feel that bodies are no more than prisons and that this world is only a place of exile."

So the obvious questions come from silent places to ask you, "Do you want to exist or soar?"

These are options. One soars in the spirit by choice, but how does that happen if you are an adult who either lost, or forgot their childhood's magic? What if it was stolen? Most people don't know there are children who never settle into their bodies. Those special souls need to be approached and taught differently. The spirit animals who followed them to Earth, our Mother are visible and present. If not, the sadness between the two is suffocating. Dragons, Owls, Thunderbirds, Bears and other animals accompany souls and maintain direct penetration into their psyche from birth to the grave. How people manage to be ignorant of these things baffles me and isolates the child in the adult. What is easiest to understand is the relationships between the worlds.

The Christians don't know by their storytelling how Eve and Adam made the transition from formlessness to form. Eve was the first. She was the facilitator for Adam, who struggled the most against his helplessness. That drama was the first for the Hebrew people's knowledge of self. For other groups upon this Earth plane they have their creation stories that inform them of the particular kind of struggles made to move from formlessness to form. There is no set standard. There is only magic, knowledge, chance and play within the imagination that makes our dream come true, and allows our dragons, and other spirit animals to stay alive in our lives committed to the Earth plane.

The largest struggle magical or spiritual people have is with the cultural tendencies to remove people from direct contact and intimate relationship with the Earth, our Mother. Are you one of those people? If so, magical creatures will continue to come your way to play and interact with you as an adult until you relax into the exchange and become yourself. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10.29.14
