People often speak about the “amazing adaptability of children.” And it is surely true. Children are like reeds in the wind. They have the ability to bend and to flex, and they can harmonize with nearly anything. Otherwise, how could they stand to put up with the likes of some of us?

A child’s adaptability comes from his willingness to believe what he sees or hears, often without question. If Mom or Dad says that life is a certain way, then the child absolutely believes that it is. If the television advertises that a breakfast cereal will make him a super hero, then he absolutely must have that cereal!  And, if “Elven dancers” come to visit a little girl’s bed in the night, singing songs about life in a “faery kingdom”… the little girl accepts what she hears without hesitation.

It could well be said that the line of demarcation, which divides childhood from adulthood, is drawn when a child begins to believe in such things as LIES, BETRAYAL, and FALSEHOOD. When a child’s innate tendency to trust and believe begins to waver, his youth is all but over.

In one of their early transmissions to me, the Reconnections said these words:

“Psychiatrists' couches are full today with adults who are searching for missing links, those elusive memories and trapped emotions, that could account for the great sense of loss they feel originates in their childhood. Many speculate concerning various traumas and connections, and those explanations partially satisfy---but there are still many questions left unanswered. It is our purpose here to address fully the real trauma of childhood---that loss so great that no one really recovers from it throughout his entire life. It is the loss (the surrender, actually) of THE IMAGINATION."

There is a gigantic link between a functional imagination and the ability to trust. If we can trust what we perceive—our own viewpoint, that is—then imagination can build for us a world in which those visions can come true. This is because, in the Multiverse, realities exist which honor and embody everything imaginable (and a whole lot more). If we truly believe that these places exist, then we can also visit them—or, we can invoke some of their inhabitants to come and visit us.

In their statements to me about trust, The Reconnections continued:

"My dear friends: Imagination is real! It is a bona fide level of being that exists as a buffer (a sort of insulation) between the Physical Plane and the Multiverse. Real folks live there. And, it IS NOW AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN at your disposal twenty-four hours a day."

The Book of Hebrews, in the New Testament, begins with these words: Faith is the substance of things hoped for—the evidence of things not seen." If we look closely at this statement, it absolutely seems to be saying to us: "If you believe in something, your faith is PROOF that what you believe in truly exists." This goes right along with one of Wayne Dyer’s famous maxims: ""You’ll see it when you believe it."   MORE

 

Era:  Divano

"The task of genius,
and humanity is nothing if not genius,
is to keep the miracle alive, to live always in the miracle,
to make the miracle more and more miraculous,
to swear allegiance to no-thing,
but live only miraculously, think only miraculously,
die (transform) miraculously."

~Henry Miller
