The Child Within

If you keep allowing the child to tell you its truth, then the mother can never share wisdom—because the child is always right. The mother listens and says, yes, you’re right… yes, you’re right… absolutely.

Now, if we equate the child with the ego, and the mother with our connection to Source. The ego becomes so busy telling God what life is all about that God cannot bestow wisdom—because we’re not listening.

It’s just like a child telling their mother all about the zoo and the animals. The mother already knows, but she listens patiently and says, yes, dear… that’s right, dear. The child believes they are educating the mother.

Somehow, we’ve carried this same relationship into our relationship with God. We learn everything in the world, then bring it back and tell God what we know—without realizing that God already knows all of it. And more wisdom could be shared with us if we were quiet and still long enough to hear it.

The problem is that the child keeps getting praise for everything it learns from the outside world.

That’s the ego’s problem—believing everything it sees, hears, experiences, or is told externally.

Now imagine the child comes to the mother and says, Mom, guess what I learned today? And this time the mother says, “No, dear, that’s not correct.”

The child gets confused and upset: But you always told me I was right.

The child never learned discernment—because there was no other wisdom speaking into its understanding. And this is how it works with the ego and God as well. When God says, “That’s not how it is”, we rebel.

We were never taught that our picture of the world begins on the inside—not the outside.

As children, the human animal has to learn how to eat, walk, survive. That’s the ego’s role—to keep us safe, to manage the body, the temple that houses the spirit. But as we grow older, we must realize: you are not your body, and you are not your identity formed solely by the outside world.

Your primary relationship must be with Source—God, (my word – insert your own belief).

From there, you can say, Let’s have a conversation. I’ll tell you how I’d like to see my day—and let’s hear what you have to say. Once you do that, you don’t have to worry. You stop overthinking. You live the day instead of managing it.

That’s hard, because we think we have to control everything. We don’t. Faith says everything will fall into place—but the mind still says, If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.

Yes, you have free will. But when you listen to wisdom first—before going out into the world—you can connect with higher consciousness. You can’t start your day better.

Once you’re connected, the outer world becomes a reflection of what’s already happening inside. Thought is the point of creation. Thought becomes word. Word becomes deed.

Every physical thing we see once existed as a thought in someone’s mind.

If everything we think manifests—good, bad, or ugly—why not choose the best thoughts? Why not create from a higher place?

When you change the way you think, your energy changes instantly. Others feel it. They don’t see poor me—they see confidence, presence, power.

That’s what empowerment really is. Not something flowing through you—but something that is

you.

You are the point of creation.
