Return To The Child        By Sandy Jones

Your complaint reminds me of that old joke which was something like;

"Doctor, my arm hurts when I wave like this"

and the Doc says "Well, don't wave your arm like that"

I mean really, if some guru's message seems to be telling you to do a practice that makes you feel depressed, tight, small, numb and cut off from life and as if you are nothing, and incapable of using your mind.... then why would you do that practice?

Follow your own heart young man. Follow your own inner promptings, don't let some guru's instructions ruin your life.

Why would you do that?

Follow what is already yours within you. Follow your true self, find the child you were when you were a little boy. That will help, that is your real self.

Whatever you practice, it should help you return to your self.

Do you remember what you were like as a little boy? It is important that you do.

The 'grown up' material-reality oriented world has tried to stomp out that real self you are. You are here to rediscover that real self.

If we are to get rid of anything, it is the belief in the 'grown up' materialist, mistaken precepts of 'who we are'.

That original self you were as a child, he (you) knows the 'grown up world' has got it all wrong. The Child is Wholeness and holiness, and it is one with God at all times, at all times. There is never a moment that you have ever been absent from God.

God is the Totality of All That Is, nothing and no one is ever separate for apart from This.

You are spirit first and foremost, you are the Infintie first and always. You are not really made of 'matter-flesh and time'. You are the whole Mind of the Lving Universe and This is not made of 'matter and time'; It is Consciousness, pure, unadultered Isness, Godhead All. You are the Awareness of the Absolute Mind of God and Its Divine Intelligence.

It is Divine Mind funtioning as this very Awareness that is aware right here now.

Our Real Identity is This Unpossessed Awareness. This is the Life You Are; Awareness Itself. This Light of Life will never grow old and never dies. Life is not residing in your body, not really. In fact, all bodies reside within Life/Awareness.

You will be familiar with your true self, It is your Heart and your Spirit. It is the little boy you left behind. You will recognize him when he begins to return. He is still here, right here with you, right now. Go get him, go find him, then watch and see the joy, the delight and wonder that awakens in you and in your life. Watch all the good things that happens when Love is felt again.

If you want to follow some guru, then why not follow your own inner light, that is the one true guru, the original you is your inner guide, your Spirit. You are the Light of Truth. There is a soul of you, the Child, and It is the best guru there is.

The Child will lead you aright, watch and see.

The false identity, the one who thinks he is 'made of flesh and a few days full of trouble' the one who thinks he is living 'inside his body' that one is the "adult" who bought the 'bill of goods' and plays the human-old-man's game.

We wanted to grow up, so we did, and we let the old man's false-thinking and its ego run the show. For a while he thinks he is pretty good at running things, but inevitably he runs things right into the ditch, including himself.

The Child lives in the world, wide open, fearless, interested, curious, funny, joyful, bright, unhindered, unafraid and not bowing down to fear or the conditioning of the "brain-washed-old man-false-self". The

You are unafraid, because you know this Presence of God is taking care of Its Awareness-Self perfectly.

The Child you are is Real and it the part of you that 'connects' to Divine Intelligence. It has all the answers, give it a try, see for your self.

The Light you came here with is still within you, perhaps but a little flicker of a flame of your real self, but it glows within you... Get some air on that flame, lift the lid off and let the Life force of God's Breath pour in. Be brave and help fan the flames, shine your light, grow into the grand Bright Self you were meant to be...Find that unbound, fearless Child you came here to be.

Love, Sandy Joy

You are not finished, until you play in that meadow and live there. You can, you know. But only you can take yourself there.
