Children and Youth

"The soul of man is old beyond the reckoning of time. His pilgrimage has stretched down through the centuries, necessitating the wearing out of many earthly garments in the search of experience and fulfillment. The soul, seeking embodiment, is absolutely dependent upon the parents for the body it must wear. From the time the Spirit is bound round by the bands that close in the Divine Memory of the Higher Realms, the parents of the Earth life become the authority for the environment and atmosphere in which the soul must endeavor to grow, unfold and develop to its highest possible expansion of Light.

Because the soul and consciousness of the child is often older than the soul of the parent, and more pure, much unhappiness is brought about through the lack of knowledge upon the parents' part as to the tremendous assistance they might offer in cultivating and keeping the atmosphere of the new child as pure, happy and positive as possible.

God, himself, endows parents with the right to take his place, personally, in caring for the bodies and natures of his children, whom he has sent into incarnation on the planet Earth, and all such guardians must give an accounting of their service when their physical days are done.

The great work of overseeing the various departments of human evolution and development are delegated to Individual Beings who, through the centuries, have proven themselves capable of representing the God Will, Authority and Love in those departments. The Master of Wisdom whose Cosmic Office it is to over-see the children of the race, their teachers and guardians, is known and loved today as the Master Kuthumi. "

We have been requested by the Beloved Master Kuthumi, who is now Co-World Teacher with the Beloved Jesus, to reprint the foregoing which appeared in Volume 1, No. 7, November 1952, of THE BRIDGE.

If you will invoke the Beloved Kuthumi on behalf of the youth, he will give you his loving Counsel, Directives and Assistance and help all who are interested in the children and young people to a clearer understanding of how to cooperate with the incoming or presently incarnated child. You are invited to sit at the feet of the Master of Wisdom, our Beloved World Teacher, Kuthumi, who will infiltrate your consciousness with the wisdom required to assist the youth of today - a project which is of utmost importance, particularly at this time when the energies of the younger generation ere flowing forth, in the great majority, in an uncontrolled manner!

CHILDREN AND YOUTH

I met a child upon life's path

Whose face was wondrous wise.

The Garments of the Earth were young,

God's wisdom in his eyes.

So young in years, and yet so old!

And whence go thou, any son?

I travel in my Father's name

'till all his work be done.

You travel singly, none to care

For all your childish needs…

I have not found companion yet

Who knoweth God - indeed!

I needs must leave my hearth and home

For my spirit can't be stay'd

And they who do not understand

My lifework since forbade.

Ah son, yet soon the time will come

When those who love thee... blind...

Will see the light and aid thy work,

No longer left behind... Anon
