A recent channeling session with my friend Rob Loveland: I was wondering how to guide the current children spiritually…

Channeling Mother Mary, July 15, 2024 by Jennifer Donaldson

Jennifer: I offered myself as a channel with the intention of gaining deeper understanding on how to guide children, not quite sure who to address this question to so I will leave that part open just settling into my heart… Right. So, seeing Mother Mary she’s ready to engage on this topic. I’m just being told to relax (a little bit tired), just to lie down, rest, perceive myself completely supported, floating and warm and comfortable. Yes, I’m receiving some love, so thank you for waiting…. It’s really strange, I’m just not feeling the impulse to speak… (It’s really boring, Rob)…

I think the point is, is that there are times when we don’t have quite the energy and it takes some take some additional energy being added to ours. 

Rob: You said the Mother.  I immediately got an image of an apparition, like at Fatima, Medjugorje. 

Jennifer:  I was seeing.. I’ll show you my little Mother [statue], here she is. I got her in the Dominican Republic, just love its purity and sweetness, kindness and warmth. She is very young here, but I love the gesture of the open palms… 

So, what’s the delay here? Well, it has to do with my being willing to just begin… So. 

Rob: Mother. Why have you come? Why are you coming to Jennifer?

Mother Mary:  Because of my great love for the children that are incarnating on the planet to bring enlightenment, basically, to bring a great deal of light and understanding and awareness to the life, your common life. If you have this strong influence from your televisions that affect you in one way, you also have this wonderful influence from the children, that they bring to you their delight, they bring to you their laughter, they bring to you their curiosity and their energy and their creativity.  

And you can see that no matter what’s going on in the world, they have so much to offer and it is very much your job to protect them. It is very much your job to nurture them and care for them and and protect them from, really, the disappointment and the cynicism of the world – the fear, you see, if you are able to help them to hold on to their strong trust – they have a very strong sense of trust – and help them to maintain their innocence, not by withholding any information from them, but by protecting their awareness, which is of a higher quality than most adults’, their awareness of truth, their awareness of the love that they are, their awareness of their own capacity as creators, their use of imagination and play. 

So, the children are your future. The children are your healing. The children are your opportunity to learn everything you didn’t learn the first time around, or you’ve forgotten. They are a great reminder. And they are very much to be cherished. And this – none of this – is new to Jennifer, having been devoted to children most of her life. She is well aware of their strengths and their qualities. And the reticence to guide, specifically when, in fact, they’re your teachers? 

It is, it is valuable to hold open possibilities for them to step forward with their own knowing, and if their own knowing seems excessively naive to you or it seems to be wishful thinking, silence is the best, is the best  response. So there’s absolutely nothing from the conversation earlier today that should not have taken place. And it is just a layer of self doubt that Jennifer feels because of the fact that the children’s parents are not present.

And it is the children’s parents’ responsibility, primarily, to protect their children and to shape their children’s understanding of spiritual matters. So it is right to be very careful in how you support and what you say. And this is understood, this is understood. 

So if the question is whether to dig deeper with the child on any particular topic that seems to be controversial within the family, the answer would be: Allow yourself to be guided by the child, as far as their questions are concerned. But always to say that this is your understanding, this is your perspective, and not everybody believes that. And, you are already practicing this so that they will get to make up their own minds – that is what’s important to you also. 

You do not want to brainwash with the truth, even with truth. You do not want to take away the formation of the questions and the discovery of the answers by providing all the answers, as though they are prizes in a cereal box.  Or some treat that you have delightedly prepared for them. This is serious business; this is the business of questioning and answering, you know, of leading from one wonder to the next, and it is best led by the child, for certain. 

So there is nothing really to be added to your questioning from earlier. There is only our love and support. When you find yourself in a position where a child is asking you a question, just go into your heart. Feel what is best in that situation. You know not to unload the whole package. So. And Rob will have his own opportunities when his little ones are a little older, too. 

You want to keep the doors open, keep the windows open. Keep the conversation open. Openness is a good guide and little bit by little bit, these children will discover, if they have forgotten, and they will begin to remember, because they are wired much more completely than you were, Even with all of the love that you carried into your life, there was much forgetting. And they are much more sovereign. And if you find that, at times, you are over-written by their own thoughts, allow this. They perhaps understand more than you do. 

Certainly they are their own guidance. They have their own guidance team, and they have their own teachers who are always available to them. Remember that when they are in the dream state, they are not just playing with sandcastles at the beach. They are having other serious conversations about their next development too; they are receiving their guidance in their sleep time. 

And they are with you for a reason, so that you can bless them with your enthusiasm and your faith. I have basically reiterated for you what you already know. But perhaps it is worthwhile for others facing the same question “How to guide children?” Guide them with your love. Guide them with your sensitivity, with your protection, your nurturing, your deep respect for their innocence, and what a beautiful quality it is. Give them a little bit at a time. 

Was there anything else before I depart?

Rob: I do have a question and it’s related to how do we walk that fine line, know where the line is, between allowing a child the freedom to express themselves while at the same time making them understand and live within a structure –  I don’t want to say of obedience – but, for instance, when it’s time to go, it’s time to go. It’s no longer time to play, play time is over. 

Mother Mary: Well, they see right through the idea of time. “It’s time,” [you say] as though you believe time is a law. It’s more, really, that you explain to them that you need their cooperation because you’re a family, and your needs are important and their needs are important. And you try to to balance those needs. But you are hungry and you want to get home for dinner, or, you’re tired and they need to go home to their parents, so that their parents can care for them. 

And so be honest with them about what time it is, rather than it being four o’clock or five o’clock or some arbitrary number, which they see right through it. That’s the construct that they don’t respect, and rightly so, but what it is [really] is the symbolic contract between all of those in your society who have agreed that that’s a good time to do certain things. 

So if you can explain to them that you request their cooperation, that you’re helping them and you’d like to teach them to help you, help you and work with you on the situation. And they won’t always understand, or be able to [see] your needs as being important, maybe not as important as theirs, but somewhat important. But that is what they need to learn, because they are living in a cooperative group, a family group, and the family is important and the family protects them. So they do need to contribute to the well-being of the family, so the family is strong and able to take care of them. And this is what is most useful. 

Rob: Got it. Thank you.

Mother Mary: Okay. Yes. We’re delighted to speak with you tonight. Be at peace. We love you.
