Oh, great question! This is really my favourite angle on all this because it gets so close to the core of the issue. Unfortunately, to answer this means writing hundreds of pages. I have written many posts about heart healing and other important aspects that are relevant for all, but they are not written for children.
Thankfully, I was always aware of the issue of mind control - even from birth and as a small child. I can specifically remember that I made sure not to do exceptionally well in exams, so that I wouldn't be segregated from everyone else and analysed by 'men in white coats' (as i thought of it then). I think I understood this quickly, partially (ironically) from watching a lot of adult TV - maybe from the 1960s - when such topics were covered by various movie makers and authors etc. - I agree that today's TV is not only shoddy in comparison, but it actually really IS FULL of deliberate mind control for a wide variety of purposes. The older TV has mind control in it in places too, but interestingly it is so poorly hidden by today's standards that it becomes possible to identify it and learn what mind control is.. Whereas today the methods are quite advanced and difficult to detect in some cases.
I didn't need to be told much about all this though and I feel some of my understanding came with me into this life from my previous existence.
In any case, TV and these things are not really necessary since the essence of being balanced is being the natural self and a big part of that is being in and out in nature. Playing is a hugely important part of life and of being balanced - it is a way of learning without the pressure and drudgery of tests and overpowering of free will. However, when it comes to learning truly important things, it helps to know WHY they are important and how they will help you on a daily basis. I wasn't much interested in chemistry or maths at school, partially because I couldn't really see how what I was being taught was going to help me. If I had known then that I would need to know certain forms of maths to understand the universe, the pyramids of giza and the shape of my own face - I would have paid more attention. The other problem is that what is taught in schools is typically not even close to being an uncensored, truly powerful version of the knowledge that could be taught. Therefore, in the current would I would advise:
- Don't get too caught up with conforming to the system to get 'grades'.
- Use the internet to learn beyond the syllabus.
- Make time to learn from nature through living naturally and finding your own nature.
- BE aware that the universe is essentially a giant, resonating 'hall of records' from which we can learn without reading any books or being 'taught' anything - if we know how to be quiet, listen, tune in and receive - we can 'log on' to the real 'inner net' that is hidden by schooling.
In short, I value meditation and yoga above most school books - though academia has a place too.
I don't have children, no - though I may do one day. I realised that I had a lot of work to do to prepare the world to be of a level of balance that I would want to invite new beings into through having children.. So I have focused on that for a long time.
Having read hundreds of books I can only really recommend a small number to anyone and an even smaller number for children. I am writing my own books and intend to make one a kind of 'zen' version that will be very simple and ideal for children.. But they won't be ready for a while. I suggest looking at these books - more for yourself, as they will help you greatly in finding answers in general. They are for children's minds too - but they are not for everyone and the material really goes VERY deep, so it would be definitely best for parents to read them before giving them to children.
Have you read Benedictus Spinoza - Ethica yet? And if so, mind me picking your brain on the subject of Solipsism? 🙏
I am not aware of that book, no (if it is a book). Solipsism has several interpretations, I think more in terms of oneness, whereby everything that exists is part of 'the one' - some have attempted to define that understanding as solipsism, however, it depends where you draw the line around the idea of 'self'. What questions do you have? :)
You should perhaps try it, I haven't even managed 20% yet, and I'm five+ months into contemplating the received information...
We'll get to The question in due time. 🙏

Q: How many 'the one' does one have "access" to?
