The Inner Life

wisely guided. For some reason, however, very few of such come to parents who understand and can guide or explain to them the proper use of such faculties. The result is the child flounders along with its abnormal faculties soon dulled and perhaps smothered altogether, until the soul fully awakens and takes control of the mind and life. We know of more than a few of such souls now in middle-aged bodies who had such early experiences.
But today we find youngsters whose souls are so wise and strong that they need no awakening and are already in charge of their minds, and who will unerringly direct their development and prepare their human instruments for the work ahead. Such souls usually choose parents who themselves are awakened and who will not interfere, but will aid them in their instruments’ preparation and development.
All parents would do well to consider carefully the above suggestions and seek to get close to their children, to learn to know their inmost thoughts and to draw them out, so as to be able wisely to work with their souls and thus help them to unfold their natural talents and develop their possibilities as rapidly as possible. For all such come with some natural talents and many with latent genius waiting to bud forth when understanding is cultivated.
There is no greater joy awaiting parents than in working thus selflessly with such wise little souls, for they will find themselves coming in contact with something beautiful and sacred in watching the unfolding of their inner natures.
MANY of them are highly sensitive to Spiritual things. One mother writes:
“Sunny has been telling me many interesting little experiences lately—usually when I am bathing and dressing him in the morning. Suddenly he will stop his ordinary talking and will get very still, when these are some of the things he has told me:
“‘Last night there were so many ladies going back to Christ Jesus, but the man at the door would not let me through.’
“‘Last night when I was coming back from Christ Jesus I went through the prettiest little green world. (This amused him very much, but it was all he could tell me.)’
“‘Christ Jesus was sending the Christ Light to a man last night, and now the man can walk.’”
