manipulating　people；　they　rapidly　reflect　this　tension　and　uptightness　in　their
behavior。
Your　level　of　consciousness　determines　your　world。　If　you　live　in　a　world　of
fears　and　anxiety；　you　will　pull　the　lower　consciousness　people　around　you
into　your　psychic　space。　If　your　consciousness　largely　operates　on　the　Power
Center；　any　child　with　whom　you　continually　interact　will　be　pulled　into　your
subject…object　type　of　non…caring　manipulations。　If　your　responses　to　your
child　continually　show　loving　thoughtfulness　and　acceptance　of　your　child　as
an　individual；　this　will　be　reflected　in　the　child’s　consciousness。
You　head　creates　your　child。　If　you　view　your　child　as　awkward；　you　will
create　an　awkward　child。　If　you　view　your　child　as　an　interference　to　your
important　daily　activities；　you　will　create　exactly　this　type　of　child。　The
images　and　classifications　through　which　you　perceive　a　child　will　be
sensitively　picked　up　by　the　child　and　will　play　a　large　part　in　how　he　reacts
to　you。
The　people　who　interact　continually　with　a　young　child　determine　the　nature
and　strength　of　the　future　addictions　that　he　or　she　must　uplevel　to
preferences　to　grow　into　higher　consciousness。　When　a　child　is　around　highly
dominating　people；　a　large　portion　of　his　energy　will　remain　preoccupied　with
the　Power　Center　of　Consciousness。　Upon　reaching　maturity；　the　adult　will
regard　power　as　the　key　to　happiness　in　the　world。　The　child　will　have　been
bruised　by　uncaring；　“Shut　up；　be　quiet；　and　do　exactly　as　I　say”　subjectobject
manipulation。　The　child　will　feel　that　happiness　correlates　with　the
amount　of　personal　power　and　prestige　one　can　use　to　dominate　and　control
the　people　and　situations　in　one’s　life。　A　child　who　is　around　flowing；　higher
consciousness　people　（who　regard　the　child’s　needs　as　they　would　their　own）
will　easily　grow　into　the　Love　Center　of　Consciousness。　With　ing
adulthood；　he　or　she　will　have　a　life　style　that　is　characterized　by
harmoniously　flowing　with　the　here…and…now　situations　of　life。　The　child　will
know　deep　in　his　or　her　being　that　love　and　expanded　consciousness　will
always　bring　whatever　is　needed　for　happiness。
If　you　observe　the　interaction　between　most　adults　and　children　from　the
point　of　view　of　the　Security　Center；　Sensation　Center；　and　Power　Center　of
Consciousness；　you　will　feel　passion　for　the　robot…like　behavior　that　has
ensnared　both　the　child　and　the　adult。　The　consciousness　of　the　adult　will
tend　to　magnify　most　of　the　actions　of　the　child　as　threats　to　the　adult’s
security；　sensation；　or　power。　Since　children　mirror　our　consciousness；　this
leads　the　child　to　develop　strong　addictive　programming　on　the　first　three
levels。　The　developing　being　will　have　heavy　psychological　obstacles　that
must　be　reprogrammed　to　permit　growth　into　the　Love　Center　and
Cornucopia　Center。　No　one　can　progress　to　these　higher　centers　as　long　as　he
or　she　feels　that　happiness　is　just　a　matter　of　having　enough　security；　sex；
money；　prestige；　and　power！
We　create　security；　sensation；　and　power　addictions　in　children　when　we　try
to　dominate　them　with　such　emotional　demands　as　“I’ve　told　you　a　thousand
times　to。。。　What　is　the　matter　with　you？。。。　Don’t　you　ever　listen？。。。　I’ve
never　seen　a　dumber。。。　For　the　last　time；　I　want　you　to　get　this　straight。。。　Just
do　that　once　more　and。。。”　As　Dr。　Haim　Ginott　says；　“Our　‘normal’　talk　drives
children　crazy：　the　blaming　and　shaming；　preaching　and　moralizing；　accusing
and　guilt…giving；　ridiculing　and　belittling；　threatening　and　bribing；　evaluating
and　labeling。”　Watch　how　you　feel　when　people　talk　to　you　in　such　heavily
dualistic　ways。
We　should　replace　our　alienating；　criticizing　words　with　“I”　language。
Instead　of；　“You　are　a　liar　and　no　one　can　trust　you；”　say；　“I　don’t　like　it
when　I　can’t　rely　on　your　words　　it　is　difficult　for　us　to　do　things　together。”
You　talk　only　about　your　exact　feelings　here　and　now。　You　don’t　chew　over
the　past　or　threaten　future　punishments。　You　skip　the　disparaging　pseudoanalysis
of　the　child’s　character　based　on　your　addictive　ego　demands。
How　do　you　use　the　experience　of　being　with　a　child　to　aid　you　in　your
growth　toward　higher　consciousness？　The　child　can　help　you　develop　an
awareness　of　what　an　“unfurnished”　mind　is　like。　When　a　child　is　first　born；
he　does　not　chew　over　situations　with　his　rational　mind。　He　is　just　totally
right　here　　right　now。　You　can　observe　in　a　very　young　infant　some　（but
definitely　not　all）　of　the　characteristics　of　higher　consciousness。　A　child　is
usually　very　perceptive　in　picking　up　the　true　feelings　and　vibrations　of　those
around　him。　The　nervous　system　of　a　young　child　is　heavily　programmed　for
crying　and　other　emotional　behaviors　that　can　dominate　the　consciousness　of
adults　within　earshot　so　that　they　will　be　aware　of　his　or　her　needs。　As　fellow
travelers　on　the　road　to　higher　consciousness；　we　should　see　our　adult　roles
as　loving　and　serving　every　child。　This　helps　the　child　to　make　a　rapid
transition　from　crying　and　other　emotional　behavior　to　a　programming　that
permits　meeting　needs　through　love　and　expanded　consciousness。
The　creation　of　a　heaven　on　earth　in　which　everyone　lives　in　a　world　free　of
wars；　misunderstanding；　and　duality　on　every　level　requires　that　we　no　longer
train　our　children　to　develop　intense　security；　sensation；　and　power
addictions。　It　is　easy　to　blame　the　problems　of　the　world　on　governments；
schools；　and　uncaring　economic　institutions；　but　this　is　only　an　evasion。　All
of　these　institutions　are　us。　The　non…loving；　subject…object　actions　of　all　of
these　institutions　have　been　created　and　are　maintained　by　addictions　that　we
have　acquired。　Even　the　polarity　of　our　addictive　opposition　may　strengthen
what　we　may　wish　to　change！
The　only　effective　and　permanent　way　to　change　the　world　in　which　we　live
is　to　change　our　level　of　consciousness。　And　one　of　the　best　ways　to　repair
the　strong　addictive　programming　that　has　been　conditioned　into　our
bioputer　is　to　interact　with　children。　We　can　save　them　from　the　suffering
that　would　await　them　if　they　were　to　develop　heavily　programmed　power
addictions　and　demands。　In　return；　we　will　benefit　by　being　reminded　of
what　it　is　like　to　live　in　the　here　and　now；　to　enjoy　a　consciousness　that　is　not
continually　churned　up　by　the　rational　mind；　and　to　benefit　by　the　mirror
which　the　child　provides　to　enable　us　to　see　our　own　addictions。
Your　life　will　give　you　continual　opportunities　to　show　the　child　（and
yourself）　whether　you　are　on　a　power　level　of　consciousness　or　a　love　level　of
consciousness。　Every　glass　of　milk　that　the　child　spills　enables　you　to　show
him　the　world　in　which　your　Conscious…awareness　lives。　Do　you　say　（or　even
silently　feel）；　“I’ve　told　you　a　thousand　times　to　be　more　careful。　The　next
time　you　spill　a　glass　of　milk　you　are　going　to　stand　in　the　corner　for　one
hour。　I’m　sick　and　tired　of　your　clumsy　carelessness。　It’s　about　time　you
listened　to　me。　Why　don’t　you　get　that　rag　and　clean　it　up？　Are　you
helpless？”　If　so；　you　will　be　training　the　child　to　dominate　his　consciousness
by　security；　sensation；　and　power　addictions。　And　since　your　consciousness
creates　your　universe　through　these　filters；　you　will　live　in　a　subject…object
world　in　which　your　inner　serenity　is　constantly　threatened　by　the　acts　of　the
child。　You　are　simply　using　the　spilled　milk　to　create　heavier　and　heavier
low…consciousness　programming　for　both　of　you。　And　a　low…consciousness
life　is　full　of　spilled　milk　　in　one　form　or　another。
When　a　child　spills　the　milk；　you　could　wele　it　as　an　opportunity　to　help
both　of　you　grow　into　higher　consciousness。　You　can　say　to　yourself；　“The
milk　is　spilled　　right　here；　right　now。　Fussing　about　it　won’t　unspill　the
milk。　It　will　simply　irritate　both　myself　and　the　child。　An　upset　child　may
unconsciously　knock　over　another　glass。　I’ve　knocked　over　glasses　hundreds
of　times。　This　is　just　a　normal　part　of　living。　The　immature　muscle　control　of
a　child　increases　the　probability　of　spilled　milk。　But　even　now　as　an　adult　I
sometimes　spill　things。　So　we’re　losing　a　few　ounces　of　milk；　but　that’s
absolutely　no　reason　to　lose　our　love　and　serenity。”　And　you　keep　on　talking
about　whatever　you　were　saying　before　the　milk　was　spilled。　It　should　be
cleaned　up　as　a　usual　thing　to　do。　You　don’t　need　to　head…trip　the　child　by
saying　such　things　as；　“That’s　all　right；　everybody　spills　milk；”　unless　the
feelings　of　the　child　call　for　further　words。　You　convey　those　thoughts　by
your　loving；　flowing　acceptance　of　the　spilled　milk　and　your　simple；　natural
cleaning…up　actions。
After　spilling　the　milk；　the　child　will　be　very　sensitive　to　your　feelings　and
will　pick　up　any　paranoia　or　antagonism　in　your　consciousness　　even　though
you　may　be　very　sweet　and　tactful　in　your　words。　If　you　can　really　accept　the
spilled　milk　（as　well　as　other　non…preferred　happenings　in　your　life）　and
permit　your　consciousness　to　flow　in　a　here…and…now　loving　way；　there　will
be　very　little　“spilled　milk”　in　your　life。　But　if　your　consciousness　gets
caught　up　in　one　incident　after　another　that　involves　your　security；　sensation；
or　powe
